Although humidity is important, having too much can destroy the pleasant environment because it encourages allergens, like mold and mildew, to grow.

leads to air pollution, water contamination and seismic activity. That’s right it causes earthquakes! Fracking creates “methane emissions, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), hazardous air pollutants and greenhouse gases”. These toxic gas emissions lead to climate change because of the gas emissions. Well to burner emissions are 3.5%-12% higher than ordinary gases. Along with releasing all these chemicals and polluting the air, rain becomes polluted as well as now acid rain is produced. The air…

Therefore, it is right for nations to impose stricter air quality standards. In his article titled “Air pollution-related illness: effects of particles”, Andre Nel reports some of the major causes of air pollution. Nel himself writes, “Unfortunately, the unregulated ultrafine particles are potentially the most dangerous. Ultrafines are the major component in vehicle emissions-the largest source of air pollution in urban areas--and they have the largest surface area and highest…
