National Ambient Air Quality Standards

Vision) The strategic plan of the NOAA is to provide sustainability with the advancement of society. The plan focuses on the availability and quality of fest water, stresses on coasts by urbanization, impact that weather has on coastal communities, and preservation of coastal resources. The NOAA strategic plan is laid out to provide the best way to improve the quality of human life and sustain the ecosystems that they depend on. (Next Generation Strategic Plan) The USFS mission is to sustain the…

Air pollution has been a growing concern in the New England area over the past few decades. Air pollution can come from many different sources including stationary sources like factories and power plants, mobile sources like vehicles, agricultural sources found from gassy animals and their waste products, as well as natural sources like wildfires, dust storms and other natural occurrences. Various cities around New England have identified the sources that are contributing to the air pollution…

US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Consumer Product (1995) (as cited in Preethi, 2005) sated that people spend approximately 90 percents of their time being indoors. Therefore, for many, due to more exposure of indoor air pollution than outdoor air pollution the risk to health may be greater. The building occupants may be exposed to the variety of contaminants whether in the form of gases and particles derived from office machines, construction activities, cleaning products,…

Depending on what the tanker is carrying and the events surrounding when the spill transpires, there could be harmful chemical particles in the air that could become widespread in the presence of high wind, a fire, or worse yet, an explosion. With the definition of a hazardous material being “any item or agent (biological, chemical, radiological, and/or physical), which has the potential to cause…

to form water and releases latent heat in the parcel. Due to this the cooling rate of the parcel slows down. This rate is called the wet adiabatic lapse rate. The wet adiabatic lapse rate is always less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate because the air parcel cools slower when heat is released. The wet adiabatic lapse is not constant and changes with temperature and pressure (Hanna,S.R.,et.al.,1982). However, the average value in the middle troposphere is taken approximately as -6 to -70C /…

Chapter: Soil, Water and Air Pollution 1. Introduction: Definitions of soil, water and air pollution; sources and types of soil, water and air pollution, soil and water pollution status in India With rapid increase and development in industrial and agricultural sectors along with population explosion, huge amount of organic and inorganic waste is released in environment and causing serious threats to environment and agro-ecosystem. This procedure can bring about a danger in the human wellbeing.…

improved people's way of life greatly it also impacted the environment negatively. With the development of factories, machinery, and assembly of goods the industrial revolution caused some environmental hazards to develop; such as, deforestation, air and water pollution, and global warming to name just a few. With the development of factories, deforestation helped to provide the timber that are needed to help produce the products that were used back then and even today.…

Statistics Office (2012), population density of Ho Chi Minh City is 3925 people over one kilometer, which is 13 times higher than the national average rate and 300 times higher than the worldwide population density. Comparing statistics over the past 5 years, this city is facing several issues including serious decrease in people’s living standard, inefficient public transport, air pollution and lack of urban service. To overcome this problem, the best solution for long-term is resettling…

Solution focused risk assessment (SFRA) is the concept of risk management which is proposed by Dr. Adam Finkel, which focuses on finding solutions to the problems at hand rather than the problems themselves. He argues that in the past 30 years, risk assessment was focused on understanding the problem at hand in such great detail at the cost of finding solutions to them problems. However, Finkel argues that this is exacerbating the problems rather than solving them, so he proposes that more focus…
