Effects Of Land Pollution

One solution to prevent land pollution is to educate people about the topic. Most people do not know why land pollution is such a large problem will not the garbage just dissolve into the earth.”What makes land pollution such a problem is that land is static,so land pollution

Neglect to take care of the land after many decades is starting to show significant negative effects on the environment. Many people do not know what all entails land pollution other than the commonly known pollutions such as chemical and waste, the list may surprise you. The list includes sewage treatment, nuclear waste, construction, urbanization, industrialization, landfills, mining, logging, agricultural practices. and deforestation (Rinkesh). As humans, we have continued to develop as a species technologically, communally and agriculturally. The effects we have had on the environment through human development has not been

Environmental pollution is a trouble both in advanced and growing international locations. elements such aspopulation boom and urbanization invariably place greater needs on the earth and stretch using natural sources to the most.

Current conventional farming practices are also responsible for many pollution problems that would not exist otherwise. The land where we live and grow our food, the water we drink, and the air we breathe are all being contaminated. The large amounts of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers used on our crops are poisoning the soil, air, and water. Toxic heavy metals such

There are three main elements in the cost of environmental degradation.Firstly it’s the indoor and outdoor land pollution.Evidence shows that these indoor and outdoor air pollution have adverse effects in health of people.For example it can lead to premature deaths and pollutants are the major causes for ninety percent of the respiratory diseases,and when these diseases become intense they give rise to the formation of cancer cells.Pollution indirectly affects the growth development rate of the nation too.In the middle east countries such as cairo in Egypt,pollution was the reason to put down the country’s development rate by 2% estimates reveal that 20000 people die due to air pollution related causes and which was indirectly a loss tourism department of the country ,which again indirectly affects the economy of the country.Indoor air pollution is the pollution caused in closed ares such as our houses especially in the kitchen while cooking .The biomass fuel which is used for cooking and heating threatens the health of women who always stay indoor than men. The next element is the land degradation.In most of the middle east and north African countries the soil has more salinity in it and water erosion is very common. The annual loss in these countries are calculated to be 80 million dollars.Recently the country of Lebanon has lost its natural vegetation and habitat due to quarrying.Soil erosion,Soil acidification,Soil

People have heard of pollution, but what some don’t know is that there are many types of pollution. Pollution can have different consequences depending on what kind there is. In the world so far there are only nine types of pollution that have been recognized. Although this can be negative to the world it’s also affecting the health of people as well. In order to understand what pollution can do to you and the world you need to know the types that are causing the harm.

Historically (pre-1892), the agrarian landscape was conducive to clean air; a time void of pollutants; however, with the advent of the industrial revolution, air quality was forever changed. Interestingly, two of today’s leading contributors of emissions are the result of two significant man-made events dating back to 1892 and 1893, which first began polluting the air. First came the emergence of factories with their emission billowing smokestacks (Davis & Henderson, 2011), which was followed by the first gasoline-powered automobile housing an internal combustion engine in 1983 (The Library of Congress, 2017). Although there’s shared knowledge about the importance of air quality and the health implications associated with air pollution, factories are still releasing toxic fumes and automobiles are releasing exhaust (Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry, 2013). Subsequently, that which was the catalyst that carried society into the modern era remains a public health threat 125 years later.

Having over 121,000 kilometers of rail lines throughout China and 228,218 kilometers throughout the United States transcontinental travel throughout the countries has become immensely accessible. The use of such transports has subsequently resulted in an emittance of pollutants such as nitrous oxide, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. The increase of the anthropocentric activity dictates the positive feed back loop of the total emissions of criteria pollutants.

Since the very first textile production line in the 1700s to Apple products being made overseas in  China, factories have plays a significant role in our world since the beginning and continues to do so. The Industrial Revolution was a stepping stone in Americas history and opened a door to new inventions to make lives easier. It began with the invention and application of machinery for production and peak in the production of machines made by machines. Factories have indeed made production efficient and increased the number of jobs. However, like all good things there is a negative side. Factories are a source of nonpoint pollution, meaning the pollution affects  a water body from sources such as polluted runoff from agricultural areas draining into a river, or wind-borne debris blowing out to sea. Non-point source air pollution affects air quality from smokestacks. Which is a problem because factories contribute to both water and air pollution harming our environment as it still continues to operate all over the world. So how do we know if factories are doing more harm than benefits for our environment?

Chemical compounds used in cleaning products and industrial production are being used every day. Some of these chemicals are naturally occurring but others are synthetic and can cause harm to the environment and human population, by being released into the atmosphere. The ever-changing atmosphere, especially in Pittsburgh, is filled with different compounds. Many of the compounds found in air are naturally occurring but some of these compounds such as Titanium tetrachloride, Vinyl Chloride, and Benzene are emitted from factories and some household items and cause health and environmental effects. Possible solutions to reduce and possibly eliminate exposure are then be explored.

Many of us don’t realize that the air we are breathing could slowly be prematurely ending our life. Air pollution in the city can affect the human health in many ways. Air pollution is when the air is contaminated by harmful substances. This is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, industrial processes and smoke. Air pollution is often found in poor inner city neighborhoods. With greater amounts of air pollution comes a greater possibility of multiple health risks. Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer and asthma are frequent health impacts that are caused from smog and air pollution. Some of these health impacts can lead to death. According to the World Health Organization, there are three million deaths worldwide due to air pollution. Air pollutants can be transferred from one country to another via the wind. Due to the wind being out of our control, this must be taken seriously in every city, state or country because it can slowly affect everyone around it. I am going to define smog and its impacts on New Dehli, how automobiles contribute to the air pollution and describe possible solutions to air pollution in the city.

It is estimated that 6.5 million people die from air pollution every year. When gases, smoke, or dust particles enter our atmosphere in ways that become harmful to plants, animals, and humans it is called air pollution. Now, some air pollutions occur naturally for example during forests fires or volcanic eruptions, but the air pollution caused by human activities has become more prevalent and serious. The burning of fossil fuels, from coal-fired power plants and vehicles, causes smog and acid rain which includes particulate matter such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide that are released into the air.Air pollution has also become a global issue that has been taken more seriously every year. In the United Nation’s 2015 plan for Sustainable Development, air quality was mentioned three times. Most notably was this following indicator: “ Mortality rate attributed to household and ambient air pollution”. Ambient air pollution is just another way of saying outdoor air pollution that is usually caused by what I mentioned earlier—fossil fuel burning and vehicle emissions. Many of these deaths were a result of strokes, cardiovascular diseases, and lung cancer. The small particles of pollutant are called PM 2.5 which can harm the lungs if it is ingested to potentially cause these deaths along with asthma. Many countries are dealing with air pollution, but two countries of note are the United States of America and China. Although, both the United States and China are suffering from air pollution, there are clear differences in how it affects these nations and their desire to address these problems.

Water pollution from agriculture can greatly affect human quality of life. Livestock manure can contain pathogens and bacteria that can make humans extremely sick if it is ingested. The ingestion is most likely through contaminated drinking water. Humans can even become ill if the produce we buy to eat has been washed with contaminated water. Water pollution from agriculture can also affect other things such as air quality. The water that farmers use for irrigation will eventually leach into the groundwater with all of the pesticides and fertilizers attached to it, which will then evaporate into the air through the water cycle and will pollute the air that humans breathe as well. Air pollution is one of the most common causes of cancer in humans. Because agriculture uses 70% of our freshwater, it is extremely likely for the water to become polluted and affect human health. Also, the release of pesticides in water from agricultural use have been known to cause cancer in humans

Land pollution, in other words, means degradation or destruction of earth’s surface and soil, directly or indirectly as a result of human activities. Anthropogenic activities are conducted citing development, and the same affects the land drastically, we witness land pollution; by drastic we are referring to any activity that lessens the quality and/or productivity of the land as an ideal place for agriculture, forestation, construction etc. The degradation of land that could be used constructively in other words is land pollution.

main questions that we will be answering in this paper is;what is land pollution?, what are the
