Ozone depletion

Dehumidification in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky –Tristate Area If your indoor air feels heavy and smells a bit musty, it could mean that your home is experiencing high levels of humidity. Although humidity is important, having too much can destroy the pleasant environment because it encourages allergens, like mold and mildew, to grow. Thankfully, you can reduce the amount of humidity in the air with a dedicated dehumidifier. This system is designed to pull excess moisture in the air…

damage to plants’ leaves (Gray). Ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide are strong oxidants and can do harm to the leaves. For example, ozone can produce brown spots on the leaves. Sulfur dioxide can bleach the leaves and make them mottled. Nitrogen dioxide can also cause lesions to leaves. Physical injuries not only affect the appearance of plants but also weaken the functions of leaves. Air pollution can negative affect plants’ growth. Particles, such as ozone, can block stomata in the…

The public health has been negatively affected by the bad pollutants in the air. With so many diseases and health problems that are caused by this, the population has been greatly affected. These health effects include death, respiratory, asthma, and cardiovascular problems (Davis, 2012). This has been happening for a while and with all of the harmful pollutants in the air, many more health problems have been occurring in people. According to a study, median annual levels that were found in the…

“Other pollutants make their way up into the upper atmosphere, causing a thinning of the protective Ozone layer.”(“Concerned about air pollution”). Due to the thinning of the Ozone as mentioned in Concerned about air pollution, it causes problems to the vegetation on the planet. “By making sensitive vegetation, ozone makes plants more susceptible to disease.”(“Health”). In the environment, multiple alterations have occurred in the world. One would be acid-rain…

pollution. Air pollution is hazardous and it affects the health and the environment. According to the U.S National Library of Medicine, air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. One of its major reasons for air pollution is Ozone, a gas. We get chemicals into the air from factories, dust, pollen, car emissions, and mold spores. Air pollution is a serious matter. Some of these chemicals are poisonous and can increase health problems and cause deaths. There are several…

The article “ Mental Environmentalism” by Micah White highlights the key idea that pollution negatively impacts the earthly environment, similarly, advertising companies and constant media messaging negatively affects the mental health of the population. The author brings up the idea that commercial propaganda is largely affecting the collapsing environment because advertisements pollute our minds and create a distraction from the collapsing world around us. However, instead of trying to…

Ultra-violet light has shorter wavelengths than visible light.It can not be seen by the human eye. Most UVB is absorbed by the ozone layer in the earth’s atmosphere.99%of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the earth’s surface is UVA. These rays come from the sun to the earth and go through our skin. Some times they give pain, some times they don’t but they can go deep and hurt…

Ever since humans have started polluting causing the ozone layer to become thinner, allowing more UV rays from the sun to come. This correlates directly into stronger UV rays entering earth's atmosphere and harming living things all over. Some creatures that are the most susceptible to these UV rays are amphibians. There are three kinds of UV rays, UV-A, UV-B, UV-C. The kind that hurts the amphibians the most is UV-B because Most molecules do not absorb the higher UV-A wavelengths and most of…

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency or EPA, “The San Joaquin Valley has some of the nation’s worst air quality, failing to meet federal health standards for both ozone (smog) and particulate pollution. Ground level ozone pollution has a corrosive effect on the lungs which may cause a decrease in lung functions while particulate matter such as soot, can enter the lungs and stick to them causing heart problems and breathing complications There…
