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…

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…

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…

of years. Not only does air quality have negative effects on our planet, it has negative effects on individuals as well. Ozone is a big factor in the quality of the air we breathe. Ozone which is almost always referred to as smog is a gas that is formed in the atmosphere when three atoms of oxygen combined. Our main concern should be with the ground-level ozone. Ground-level ozone is created by the chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds in the presence of…

In 1989, a substantial policy was enacted that brought countries together from all around the world to combat the diminishing ozone layer. This policy, The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, was a significant step in improving the effects of climate change. Since then, very few successful policies have been enacted. The problem of global warming has been increasing and now that the effects are being felt, talk of actions have been developing. With many factors…

Human Influences on Global Climate Change The earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years, and the climate has been changing throughout that time period. Most of this climate change is in a sense normal because it is due to small variations in the Earth’s orbit or due to natural influences such as solar changes or volcanic eruptions. Although the occurrence of climate change is relatively settled and accepted, some uncertainty remains as to whether humans and their ecological footprint…

Also, diseases such as leukemia, skin cancer, cataracts, sun burns, skin cancer and plants damages are as a result of the UV rays that can no longer be absorbed by the ozone layer. Global warming has depleted the Ozone layers, and it’s not possible to shield human beings and plants from the harmful ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun. Carbon dioxide gases are emitted mainly from cars and factories. Currently, there are about 800 million vehicles…
