“Environmental pollution is an incurable disease, it can only be prevented” once said by Barry Commoner, a former biologist and a founder of the modern environmental movement stated this quote back in the day 1900’s yet environmental problems still continues to be a huge problem, not only individually but it’s a social condition today. As humans we should see that we breath and survive because of the clean environment that we once had, but the question is that are we really living in a clean…

Earth’s Atmosphere By Ikotun Oluwatoke Environmental science 2000 Student number: 7733112 Introduction Human activities has caused increase of dangerous air pollutant and climate change which has led to serious health illness, the increase in population is directly proportional to the increase in human sources of pollution. In the early model of Earth’s atmosphere, oxygen was a minor component of the Earth’s atmosphere and so many theories were made up for why this was so. However, as…

the top air quality issues are particulate matter and indoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution may be many times more toxic and affect the old and young who may be at greatest risk of adverse health effects. My talents may, in fact, contribute to decreasing the levels of these hazards. The Fairbanks area is well known for a meteorological condition known as temperature inversion. This inversion of temperature, keeping warmer, unhealthy air near the ground by cold, dense air…

The air smells like an airport smoking lounge. Harmful chemicals are entering the body and implanting life threatening diseases. In China, pollution levels are higher than the rest of the world combined. Factories producing toxic carcinogens into the environment is having a huge impact on Chinese citizens. This problem, created by humans, is absolutely necessary to resolve. The pollution will only continue to grow if no action is taken. To start, as the economy grows, the environment continues…

Power of Pollution Everybody knows that there are many different types of pollution, but what people don’t know is how it’s affecting their environment, and themselves. Researchers tend to focus on the types of pollution: air, environmental, sound, light and many more, but not on who and how it affects them. Not only does pollution affect animals and the environment, but it affects humans too. While limitations are put on how much pollution companies are allowed to emit out into the atmosphere,…

that humans are the cause of such a difference in this once pristine environment. The activity of humans is primarily responsible for global warming, however, this topic is still being heavily debated today. The pro party argues that rising levels of air pollutants are being done by human activity, the con party believes anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are too small to cause any significant changes to the…

The article focuses on ambient air standards, emission standards and ambient air monitoring. States can exceed the standards of the USEPA by creating even more stringent standards. Table 1 shows that many other states have to exceed the USEPA standards and creating their own. ‘‘ In clean air policy, economic pressures have not overwhelmed the state 's’’ ability to det their own environmental…

use of automobiles has centered on emissions, climate change and fuel economy. 2 – About three-quarters of the average car can be recycled. 2 - Eighty to 90% of a vehicle’s environmental impact comes from fuel consumption and emissions that lead to air pollution and greenhouse gases. Brake Debris and Tire Particles 1. Substances raise toxicity levels in nearby soilds and in the case of timre particles, lead to the formation of black carbon. Cause Lung toxicity and account for significant…

Introduction Throughout the world, millions of tons of plastic are produced annually and used in countless ways, from packaging to exfoliants in cosmetics (REF). Plastic’s wide popularity stems from its desirable properties, such as being aesthetically pleasing and cost effective. Much of the plastic on the market consists of disposable, one-time-use items. Discarded plastic then accumulates in the environment; so far many studies have shown that plastic accumulates in marine ecosystems…

America (and the world over) today has been a huge victim of global warming. This attributes to high uncontrollable temperatures, rising sea levels, severe floods, and droughts as well as the depletion of the ozone layer. This does not only record fatal consequences for the earth, but for every living organism that lives on it; including humans. Automobiles, which include cars, trucks, steam boats, ships and trains are a huge cause of global warming. From emissions to production of raw material,…
