Air Pollution

The causes of air pollution are burning fossils fuels releases gases and chemicals into the air. Climate changes also increases the production of allergenic air pollutants including mold. ‘There are examples of air pollution such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles.’ “Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a good indicator of how much fossil fuel is burned and how much of other pollutants are emitted as a result.”(How Do We Cause Air Pollution)

Another big problem in polluting places and things is air pollution which can make air foggy, unbreathable, and toxic. According to “34 Facts about Pollution”, the text states breathing the air in Mumbai, India, for just one day is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes. One of the things that can cause air pollution is releasing factory fuels and fossil fuels into the air. We also cause it from burning certain things like plastic, chemicals, and other

There are various types of air pollution contributors in California such as fire generated pollutants and vehicle traffic, which add particulate matter and carbon monoxide into the air we breathe. According to an article by Union of Concerned Scientists (Cars, trucks, and air pollution, 2014) particulate matter is made up of fine particles soot and metal that can pose serious threats to human health when deep in the lungs. Other pollutants emitted from vehicles are: nitrogen oxide which lowers the body’s defense system against respiratory infections such as pneumonia, carbon monoxide which blocks oxygen from reaching vital organs, sulfur dioxide which is emitted by both power plants and vehicles affect children and asthmatics, and hazardous air pollutants (toxics) which are chemicals that are linked to cancer, birth defects and other illnesses (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2014).

Air Pollution today has lead CDC's fight against environmental -related respiratory illness, including asthma.An estimated number of 6.5 million deaths are attributed each year to poor air quality, making this the world's largest threat to human health.According to the World Energy Outlook and the IEA estimate that death due to household air pollution in Africa may decrease by 110,00 to 2040.However, due to economic growth, urbanization and automobile emissions, outdoor air pollution may rise from 300,00 to 450,000 over the same period. Am going to be looking at the causes of air pollution. the problems emerging with air pollution and also how we as a community can help decrease the amount of death rate associated with air pollution.I remember growing up in Africa Air pollution was always a talk about a subject that always comes out because it is really contagious due to the fact that we are breathing bad air that is caused by our human contribution to the environment.Air pollution is considered to be a public health problem, it is responsible for most of our health problems after some research has been conducted in many different parts of the world and regions. According to the Geochemistry and Health paleopathological research suggests that air pollution is a form of smoke, plagued our oldest ancestors.Air pollution has emerged as one of the leading risk factors for stroke worldwide.

The author begins the article by discussing the death percentage related to air pollution and what causes the elevated levels of air pollution. Huth continues the article by pointing out that different areas have different problems related to air pollution. Finally, Huth draws attention to the fact that different countries have different solutions to the air pollution. Though this piece was written for the entire United States, the fact that air pollution can be deadly to humans is universally applicable. Though Huth is a reporter and not an environmental scientist, Huth does cite reports made by credible institutions. Though this article talks only about how air pollution is deadly and does not expand the idea to talk about other health complications, the fact that air pollution is dangerous to human health does support my claim that a reduction in air pollution will lead to a better quality of

Poor air quality is associated with some health issues from the short-term problems to severe

Air pollution is a big problem in our world today because it affects our lives on earth as well as animals and plants. Breathing polluted air can make you very sick it can cause your eyes and nose to burn. It can irritate your throat and even make your breathing difficult. Air pollution is a big environmental problem because it is affecting our crops, trees, wildlife, and lakes/oceans. Pollution is harming fish and other aquatic life in those bodies of water.

One of the world’s worst problems is air pollution. The focus of my research is on the causes of air pollution in North Carolina. Air pollution is when pollutants get into the air and turn it dark and toxic. Some examples of air pollutants are carbon dioxide, car fumes, smokestacks, and factory fumes. Air pollution is a serious problem that we can fix.

In this research paper, i will focus on What is air pollution?, What is causing air pollution?,What is the current air quality condition?What are the effects of air pollution on United States. I will discuss what are the changes in the Earth’s climate and weather and the ways of prevention

One environmental problems that greatly impacts the United States, and more severely threatens low-income countries is pollution; specifically air pollution. Air pollution is caused when the ozone (smog) is a pollutant close to the ground, unfortunately so much pollution causes irritation to the eyes and lungs that leads to serious medical attention. This causes million of deaths worldwide annually, ranking it to be the worlds fourth highest risk factor for death. A fairly recent new article dated, February 12, 2016, titled Poor air quality kills 5.5 million worldwide annually, by University of British Columbia closely annualizes the serious threat air pollution has and states some eye opening facts about the issue needed to raise awareness.

This can be done through efficient and high quality management/strategies, along with superior grade technology to minimize dust emissions from the coal mining process and transportation. It is up to Gundy Coal Ltd to ensure that their venture ensures to not exceed the particulate emission or deposition parameters established at any area in or accompanying.

Kate Galbraith, A journalist, released an article covering the condition and to what extent africa's pollution is currently at. The article was released by The New York Times on April 2014. It starts off by telling us how an air quality scientist was testing the air. The machine that was created in Arizona was man to calculate the amount of pollution in the air.While testing the air in Ouagadougou the machine clogged and was sent back to the United States of America for repair. Galbraith continued on how things such as vehicle exhaust, dusty roads to even cooking with woods, also known as inside pollution, all contribute to the worrisome problem altogether. Health was now becoming a problem as dirty air can cause heart disease, stroke, and cancer and was third highest level of deaths per capita from indoor air pollution of any region of the world said Galbraith. Ms.Linden, until 2007 did research on Burkina Faso, said that one of the major outdoor sources of air pollution was Industrial Activities when the population in Ouagadougou swell by 50%. In this Article things such as the machine to calculate air pollution malfunctioned while on trial in an african country. Kate also included how industrial activities played a big part in outdoor pollution sources. Galbraith kept a very informative tone throughout the article as she explained the situations and how it was being measured. I believe that Galbraith was great in giving detail and going into depth in how the problem was

Air pollution is very unfavourable for the environment; especially for the water cycle. In the event that the air is polluted enough, it could form acid rain which could end up being very harmful. This is because the acid could harm water from rivers, lakes or seas, which strongly affects both animals and humans; water being a requisite for living.

Air, is one of the most substantial source to mankind and our planet. While it exists, so does everything else along. However, in today’s epidemic, there has been certain factors that have increased in understanding whether the air we breathe today is healthy or not? Is it doing more harm than we thought? In other words, the health risks against air pollution have risen in the past few decades; all from what you may ask? Well, it could be for various factors and evaluations; either environmental or materialistic. Pollution is a major public health crisis in the world. (Friis, 2012). This is one of the conflicts that contribute to various aspects of an individual’s life, whether they may realize it or not. In this paper will include the sources that cause pollution with the effects it cause as well as policies on the regulation of air pollution.

Automobiles are undeniable the greatest source of pollution. The noise pollution created by cars is immense. Another polluting effect of cars is the heat it creates. This heat makes it unpleasant to be near the car while its running. And of course the most famous
