Causes Of Pollution In Chile

Until the industrial revolution air pollution occurred only through natural causes and were of no great concern. However, industrial revolution which has made human power to dominate over the planet, has actually led man to dig his own grave. The western world has had as many as four industrial revolutions since 18th century also termed as “The Age of Smoke” (Kasa 2009). In the beginning the coal smoke was confined to a particular area but the concentrations of emissions increased as people began to migrate towards cities (Douglas et al. 2002). This led to continuous worsening of air quality and slow in decline public health conditions, but evidently, not enough to attract the attention of the lawmakers (Borja-aburto et al. 1996).

Air pollution is air with a lot of chemicals in it that makes it hard for us to breathe. We breathe 2 gallons of air per minute which makes it 3400 gallons of air each day. Above 50,000 people die in America due to air pollution. 80% of our lung disease are caused by the pollution of the cars. Indoor air pollution is 2-5 times worse than the air outdoors. Ways to reduce air pollution is by wearing mask continually to save ourselves from air pollution. Electric vehicles produce less air pollution because they don’t produce gas. Another way to reduce it is that ensure new vehicles had to be fitted with catalytic converters. With these changes it also reduces ozone pollution. Ozone air irritant your eyes, nose and throat. By making these changes it would be easier for everybody to breathe.

The consequences of air pollution have been detrimental for the economy, and the continued degradation of air quality will further increase the negative impact of health. In today’s society, no one is aware of the cost of air pollution, however expert’s analysis concluded that the cost for air pollution may be far worse than previously estimated. “Since the early 2000s, emissions from sources

The first legislation for air pollution was the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955. Although air pollution was not a new phenomenon this legislation was the first to fund research to investigate the sources of air pollution, and raise public awareness. This legislation followed the 1948 incident in Donora, Pennsylvania of industrial smog that killed 21 people and sickened over 6000 people, and the international incident in London where smog killed over 4000. After research and investigation the Air Pollution Control Act was expanded into the Clean Air Act of 1963 and this Act was amended up until 1990. I believe that political/governmental reactions has been the biggest influence on reducing air pollution. Once the data and research was available the potential health risks were obvious. The CAA identified the largest contributors and imposed limits and subjected them to monitoring. The CAA has reduced emissions, removed lead from gasoline, reduced byproducts of fossil fuel combustion (SO2,NO2), increased fuel economy standards, and reduced the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's). A lot of these help regulate one of the biggest human contributors to air pollution, DRIVING. Big cities all suffer from traffic and congestion so my city (DC) implemented an anti-idiling law where vehicles are not allowed to idle for more than three minutes. My city also offers education and outreach services for air quality issues. The government in my opinion is the

The Economic boom from factories connection to air pollution is unconventional. The reason factories stay open is only for the monopoly it has over monetary distress. The economical perspective affects the health concerns beyond a doubt. Nearly 5-6 million people die every year due to an illness related to air pollution. The pollution is tremendously bad in China, which the people of China have to stay inside their homes with the windows shut at all times. China has faced their first “red alert” which has put a halt to usage of motor vehicles, and factories stopped operation. People all over the world are suffering from air pollution, some cases worse than others. Urbanization constantly grows each year which contributes to air pollution which has an immense impact on the

The purpose of this report is to raise awareness among the habitants of the greater city of Los Angeles, California about the health problems that air pollution causes to their lungs but also remarks a major negligence from the industries which polluted the air with a minimum remorse and causing an irreversible damage of our natural environment. By ignoring the air pollution problem we are putting in jeopardy the wellness of the general population. For these reasons we are requesting the approval of the following actions to stabilize the air quality of the city of Los Angeles.

Transportation is the largest source of air pollution in the United States. Air pollution kills globally more than any diseases. In 2013, transportation contributed more than half of the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air. We can reduce transportation, air pollution is different ways. By keeping our vehicle in well-tuned and tires inflated properly to reduce exhaust emissions. Also, avoid idling because it contains more pollute and combines errand into one trip. Air pollution can directly cause respiratory disease or exacerbate existing conditions in susceptible populations, such as children or the elderly and animal.

If emissions being released into the atmosphere is lowered there will be a lower chance of humans developing respiratory problems as a result of the pollution.

In this essay I would like to discuss the serious existing environmental problem- the air pollution - and to explore its aspects as well as to provide possible solutions I see for the resolution of this particular environmental problem.

Air pollution is one of the biggest causes of environmental impact in any region. Therefore, air quality needs to be evaluated and maintained for avoiding health hazards. According to WHO, air pollution claims more than 2.4 million lives each year (WHO, 2002). Cities have to face more air pollution problems as compared to

Air pollution continuously affects the world in ways that are both invisible and visible. Human beings have a tendency of forgetting how harmful air pollution can be. Therefore, there is less attention about the future impacts such as global warming, health problems, damages of the ecosystem and natural habitats being destroyed. The least amount of effort that is being put into ensuring the future of the earth is better in order for living organisms to continue living in harmony. One major source of air pollution is the manufacturing industries; they pump different types of poisonous gases into the air. Legislations to limit air pollution is often met with resistance, from court cases to counter legislations sponsored by the big multinational manufacturing companies. In this essay, I will argue as to why stringent legislation needs to be enacted to limit air pollution form these industries by describing the effects of air pollution and giving some control measures that can be used.

Air pollution does not come in the form of a giant, flying two headed dragon and does not typically manifest on the body like a ghastly goiter. Air pollution is invisible to the human eye. To see it, special equipment from NASA or other research facilities would be required. But just because it is not visible, does not mean it is not present, air pollution is everywhere and sometimes more dense and deadly in some places than others. This poisonous air is caused by motor vehicles, planes, ships, energy plants, and much more, things quite necessary for society to function. The solution to dirty air cannot be so drastic as to ban automobiles or energy plants, and it would not happen overnight. However, society can take several meaningful, if small, steps to reduce air pollution to the point where it can decrease the number of stroke, asthma, and

Hong Kong (HK) is one of the most crowded cities in the world, with almost the highest vehicle density. It has long been criticized for its bad air quality compared to its advanced economy. With the recently hazardous air pollution in China mainland, HK has been affected as well for its geographic neighborhood. The Air quality readings recently (PM2.5: 60µg/m³) have exceeded the loose local standard (50µg/m³), 3 times of WHO’s recommended standards (20µg/m³). The public appeals to the government to take actions to improve air quality.

There are millions of cars on the road of Malaysia especially in Kuala Lumpur, main city of Malaysia. Each one is a source of air pollution in this country. The amount of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide that all cars produce together can create a big problem to the air of Malaysia. For instance, air pollution can cause very serious disease to Malaysian, such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and heart disease. To solve those problems, cities, states,

People throw away whatever they don’t need any more for more than hundreds and thousands of years, this reaches from the old medieval period where people throw their trash and feces on the street to the modern time where people throw plastic in the oceans or pollute the air with toxic gasses and carbon dioxide. In this paper, I will focuses on the challenges around the pollution of the air with carbon dioxide.
