Environment And Environmental Issues

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)

They are five primary types of pollution which are air, water soil, noise and light. These types of pollution’s are great harm to the environment.

More than half of the human population knows what pollution is but we are still not ready to face it's damaging consequences. Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollution comes in many forms and no matter where you live, you've probably seen some form of it. Some litter of NYC city streets to the smog that lingers ov0er LA to the plastic trash that floats in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the visible signs of pollution are more than evident. The main reason for a why pollution has gotten too out of control is that our desire for more “stuff” has led to our old stuff being thrown away at an alarming and unnecessary rate. As humans we have impacted the environment in so many different ways. The 3 main pollutants i will be talking to you about is water, air, and soil pollutions since these are the three main ones that are affecting not only us as humans but our planet that we live on.. These three main pollutants have affected the environment in many different ways such as climate change and even habitat destruction towards our planet and is in need to be taking some Extreme Measures and actions in order to decrease the pollution to our home.

They are air, land, light, noise, thermal, visual, and water. Air pollution is the contamination of air by smoke and harmful gases, mainly oxides of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen. Air pollution occurs when any sort of contaminant is introduced into the atmosphere. The most apparent of these contaminants is carbon dioxide, which is frequently called greenhouse gas in the Earth’s atmosphere. The first Pollution is Land pollution which is the degradation of the Earth's surface caused by a misuse of resources and improper disposal of waste. Another pollution is Light pollution is the brightening of the night sky inhibiting the visibility of stars and planets by the use of improper lighting of communities. Light pollution is most common in big cities, though it can also have an impact in suburban areas, around airports or big sporting event facilities, and along highways. Humans, light pollution is more of an irritation than an environmental concern, perhaps making it difficult to see the stars or interfering with sleep. Animals, light pollution can be more obtrusive, disrupting biological clocks, influencing natural predation patterns, and overall threatening animal habitats located nearby to heavily illuminated signs of human civilization. Noise pollution is any loud sounds that are either harmful or annoying to humans and animals. For humans, noise pollution is probably slightly more of a concern than light

Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat.

In today’s society we face many major problems such as poverty, free trade complications, human rights issues, and environmental issues. However in the world many people deny that we face environmental problems, and state that it is not our main problem, when in fact it is a leading problem slowly destroying all life on this planet. Environmental issues are continuing to threaten our world, but many organizations such as EPA are working to solve many of the major environmental problems.

Pollution is caused by both human and natural events. There are many different types of pollution. Some of these types of pollution include air, water, and land pollution.

There are many kinds of air pollution. The ones I want to talk about are the ozone, acid rain, carbon monoxide and toxic air contaminants. Ozone is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide react in sunlight.

In definition, air pollution is the appearance air pollutant in the air which worsens the quality of air and imperil the health of living organisms, natural resources, and structures and properties (Park, 2016). The sources of air pollution could come from natural sources such as forest fires, and volcanic eruptions, moreover, it could also come from substances that are emitted into the air that resulted from human activities. Human activities could either be accidental or intentional. Some of the accidental human activities

These types of pollutions are oil/fuel spills, emissions from industries and manufactures, burning fossil fuels, and using household and farming chemicals. Examples of the farming chemicals would be crop dusting chemicals and pesticides that are put in the dirt of vegetables.

Land Pollution can have detrimental effects on soil and the health of organisms. It can be described as the destruction of Earth’s land surface through misue of land resources. It occurs when waste is not properly disposed of or when humans use chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers. Solid waste can also cause land pollution. Landfills are a prime example of this because waste is deposited there and will not decompose for thousands of years constantly polluting the land. The carrying capacity of some ecosystems has been lowered because of land pollution. The industrial revolution is really what gave rise to the major increase in land pollution and ever since habitats have been destroyed and environments have been polluted. Land Pollution can cause various types of cancers, human respiratory problems, and skin problems. There are currently 3,091 active landfills in the United States.

Industrial development of the past 200 years has brought immeasurable wealth and prosperity. However, it has also caused unintended eco- logical degradation and pollution (Shrivastava, 1995). Pollution is defined as “the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse changes (Khamis, 2017). Pollution is a worldwide problem that affects humans on a day-day basis causing disastrous and deleterious effects that eventually lead to loss of life. Pollution can be of various types; it can be in form of chemical energy, light, heat, noise. These are referred to as pollutants and most are as a result of human activities. The drastic effect of these activities greatly endangers life and has a lasting impact on the sustainability of the environment. This is why the issue of pollution is of utmost importance to every individual as it will affect the quality of life of the human race if its rapid progression is not curtailed.

There are many important issues in the world regarding the environment and it's affects on the

This is also called global warming which also affects the marine pollution by causing ice sheets and glaciers to melt rising which also causes sea levels to rise to the point where coastal regions would flood. Not all air pollution is caused by humans. Natural disasters such as a volcano erupting can throw out ashes and gases into the atmosphere. Which can lead to light pollution as well by darkening the sky. Air pollution comes from fossil fuels, coal, smog,and oil. Smog which has nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons can make breathing difficult for the old and the young. Another act caused by air pollution is acid rain which causes damage in forests and lakes. Water pollution has many harmful chemicals and can be very deceiving to the eye. Water will appear clean but will actually not be clean. What contributes to water pollution is oil spills, mining, acid mine drainage, and sulfur. Drinking contaminated water can expose creatures to harmful chemicals that will affect them for years or make them sick. The united nations estimates that around 4000 children die of drinking contaminated water. Fish that are exposed to contaminated water are unsafe to eat and will cause illness. Land pollution also has many of the same pollutants as water which leaves the soil with harmful chemicals. Pesticides, contaminated soil, and fertilizers can affect the plants that bear fruits, animals that eat the fruit, and

Environmental problems are something which belongs to nature or known as “Mother Earth” [13]. Nature was created to help people survive from gathering foods until build a house. This phenomenon happens continuously without thinking how much damage that nature has because human’s fault. Nature gradually becomes worse and animal’s life in danger. People who are aware of the importance of nature react. Those people do several ways to save the environment. Although these efforts can return back the environment, these efforts only can be hold temporarily. This problem happens because those people who are aware of the environment only slightly; for remaining, there are people either do not know or do not care about the nature. People’s efforts
