According to the US Forest Service Ozone Biomonitoring website, “Ground-level ozone…interferes with the ability of plants to produce and store food, which makes them more susceptible to disease, insects, other pollutants, and harsh weather.” This article deals with the Shenandoah Park in Virginia. It states that, “Plants that are reliable indicators of phytotoxic (i.e., harmful) levels of pollutants are known as bioindicators. Examples of bioindicators for ozone include black cherry,…

With technological strides forward, the Industrial Revolution of the mid-19th century introduced new sources of air. By the middle of the 20th century, the effects of these changes were beginning to be revealed in many countries around the world. In the 1960s, an environmental movement began to emerge that sought to remove the flow of pollutants to the planet’s ecosystems. Out of this movement came events like Earth Day, and legislative victories like 1960’s Clean Air Act. In 1963, in an effort…

Ozone layer is the damage to a part of the atmosphere. Basically, ozone is an air pollutant—but the ozone that exists in the stratosphere is definitely the opposite: it's a truly natural chemical; it saves from the harmful of the ultraviolet radiation of Sun. At the time of the 20th century, people began…

Pollution is considered to be anything that makes the earth dirty and unhealthy. Air, land, and water are agitated by this problem.

Sustainability is concerned with the promoting of the most effective use of resources, the protection of the environment and ecosystems and the development of a more equitable world society. As sustainability includes different issues, is often difficult to define precise terms of it. Considering the Venn diagram, sustainability can be described as the intersection of three main issues as environmental, economic and social issues. Sustainability Venn diagram…

increasing as much as seven degrees celsius. There will be more over all precipitation and there will be warmer winters and humid summers. The second consequence is the destroying of the ozone layer. A consequence of the destruction of the ozone layer it causes a huge increase of skin cancers. The depletion of the ozone layer also causes an increase in temperatures around the world. The biggest hole is over the continent of Australia. One degree increase of temperature in the oceans around…
