Particulate

are 3.5%-12% higher than ordinary gases. Along with releasing all these chemicals and polluting the air, rain becomes polluted as well as now acid rain is produced. The air pollution also has a direct effect to humans. The contact with “diesel particulate matter, hydrogen sulfide and volatile hydrocarbons can lead to headaches, asthma, high blood pressure, anemia, heart attacks and cancer”. That’s not all. These gases also create immune…

1 Introduction Air pollution is one of the primary environmental hazards to the health of citizens across the world. If countries focus on controlling and decreasing the level of air pollution they can rapidly minimize the risk of various deadly diseases like cardiovascular diseases, various types of cancer, acute and chronic respiratory problems like pneumonia, asthma etc. over short and long-time period. According to the World Health Organization(WHO) in the year 2014, around more than ninety…

pollution have become obvious. In the past 30 years, the death rate from lung cancer in China has increased by 465%. Even though smoking and an aging society are major factors in this statistic , but the risk of developing lung cancer associated with particulate matter is receiving increased attention. Monitoring of PM2.5 levels started in 2012 and China implemented its “Air Pollution Prevention Plan”. As wages increased and information became more transparent, people’s expectations on the…

Research question: how do electric cars affect air environment? Barry Saxifrage, who consistently researches and writes about climate changes for the Vancover Observer and other publications, argues that generally electric cars cause less or equal climate pollution than gasoline cars. To support his claim, the author analyzes data from energy databases and industry websites on pollution released by producing the cars and batteries, burning gasoline, and generating the electricity as the…

When particulate matter has a diameter of 2.5 micrometers, it is possible for it to be inhaled into the lungs and then into your bloodstream. In the case of California, particulate matter is produced from coal fired power plants and the exhaust of motor vehicles.The health risks associated with particulate matter can be very severe to fatal. Long term exposure to PM 2.5 can cause strokes, heart failures…

Recommendation Government will limit factory emissions of tiny harmful particulate matter for PM2.5 which will decrease the major cause of the air pollution down by 25% .Which also includes more high quality use of coal as well as clean coal. As well as promoting the usage of electricity and good natural gas as alternative for…

I have reviewed some scholarly articles on health effects of air pollution in China, and these articles have obtained vital information relating to these issues. In China, the air quality has been a major concern for many of the people. This essay will focus on three components: sources contributed to air pollution, the potential hazard and recovery. China’s economy has a tremendous impact on the environment, as the Chinese population increases, the country in demand for resources. People are…

Pollutant Standards Index. The AQI is used internationally. In the United States, all cities with populations larger than three hundred and fifty thousand are required to report AQI results each day. (AirNow, n.d.; EPA, n.d.). The AQI measures fine particulate matter pollution and Ozone (O3), two pollutants of concern in the U.S. The AQI also measures, Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Using a scale of 0-500, results fall into six categories: Good (≤ 50),…

("Clean Air Update", 2016). In comparison to cities around the world, a report published in The Economist considered Brisbane’s air quality is considered quite clean in comparison to other cities around the world with some of the lowest levels of particulate matter seen in industrialised nations ("Choked",…
