A Superfund site is defined as any land in the United States that has been contaminated by hazardous waste. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified these sites as candidates for cleanup because they poses a risk to human health or the environment. Once a site is selected as a candidate, they are placed on a list called the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL is used to prioritize the release or threatened releases of hazardous wastes in the United States. The EPA uses…

power generator which put a large amount of carbo dioxide into the air this can cause a greater air pollution than the factories processes. The metal smelting factories produce emissions of sulfur and carbon dioxide, aluminum smelting can put out arsenic particulates which lead and gold refining put out mercury and cyanide emissions. The food processing factories also can release out soot into the air in the process or frying and smoking processes, washing meat and fish plants put out a volumes…

There is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than at any point in the last 800,000 years. The increase in carbon dioxide was caused by burning fossil fuels, such as coal, to create electricity and to fuel cars. If coal burning continues at this current rate, the world will continue to heat up, leading to melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and more severe air pollution. One major solution to global warming is alternative energy sources, more specifically solar panels. According to the…

Exploration has many effects not only on organisms, but also the atmosphere. . By exploring for natural resources such as oil and gas, we contribute to global warming. Burning fossil fuels depletes the ozone layer and encourages global warming. Findings show “Air pollution near ground level, and acid precipitation, are already causing widespread injury to humans, forests, and crops” (Grossman & Bryner). Another impact on the atmosphere and on the elements of life can be seen in the uranium New…
