Many of our daily interactions and activities with our environment cause the release of hazardous chemicals into the air that can and do form pollutants. These hazardous chemicals released in small amounts into the atmosphere go unnoticed, due to they are mostly colorless and odorless (Miller and Spoolman, 2015). This is a reason why so many humans do not comprehend the continuous contributions that they are adding to the air pollution and the affects it is having on the human, animal, and environmental

improve the living standards, it has lead to an overpopulated planet which has many devastating effects on the environment. One of the effects include the depletion of natural resources like food and water. These vital resources have fallen severely short with 80% of people living below the poverty line (living on less than $2.50 a day). Another effect is the degradation of the environment which is due to our increasing population. As the population increases, there is more coal used and other fossil
Natural Gas, Pollution, and Our Environment In today's society there is a great need for environmental protection. Things that happened during our parents and grandparents age have caused a great concern for our ozone, our air, and our environment. You constantly hear about the many sources of pollution, but we hardly ever hear about the solutions. In this paper I will present one possible solution to the air pollution problem that has been caused by too many automobile emissions being released

But did you know that air pollution can exist inside homes and buildings? In the article “Air Pollution Fatalities Now Exceed Traffic Fatalities by 3 to 1”, Bernie Roberts (2002) says that 70,000 people die each year from the effects of air pollution.

(Wright & Boorse, 2014) These pollutions can be put into our air in many different ways. Air pollution is cause by both human and natural actions.

for the environment by contaminating the natural resources that men willingly take for granted. I believe land pollution is important and should be considered a serious problem because it negatively affects human health, it creates more pollution in other settings, and overall it results in environmental degradation. Land pollution is one of many pollutions humans fight against. Other pollutions like water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, thermal pollution, radioactive pollution, and more
