Environmental Control and Pollution in Nigeria

Two major laws that are regulated by the EPA are the Clear Air Act and the Clean Water Act. These laws, passed by Congress, give the EPA the authority to write regulations. The Clean Air Act regulates emissions of hazardous substances into the air. The set the air emissions standards in which businesses must abide by or face penalties. The Clean Water Act restricts the release of pollutants into water. The goal of both of these laws is to protect the public and provide clean drinking water and sustainable habitats for marine life. The EPA also regulates many other environmental health concerns. They regulate hazardous substances such as asbestos, lead, and mold. They also have a large role in tackling major environment

The environmental protection agency has been stepping up its mandate of ensuring safer and better environment for not only the business operators, buts also the society as a whole. In order to achieve this goal of environmental protection, there has been the creation of environmental protection agency that has ensured that all the businesses, irrespective of their size and type, strive to ensure that the environment is protected for the benefit of current and future generations.

The command and control regulation has need greatly successful in cleaning up and protecting the environment. In 1970, the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) was founded to oversee all environmental laws in the in the United States. The same year saw the clean air act being enacted to address concerns about air pollution. Two years later, the congress passed the clean water act which the president duly signed. These particular command and control laws and their amendments have played a huge part in ensuring that America now has

Because of this, regulatory agencies should continue to develop more stringent regulations to further regulate air pollutants from point and

The environmental regulation is considered the most severe of governmental regulation of a business because of the costs involved for its rigid compliance. The penalties are strict because the government requires that businesses

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created to improve human health through ensuring a safe environment. One of the EPA’s main priorities is to develop and enforce regulations (Adler). The regulations put into place are mandatory requirements that must be obeyed. Regulations can apply to anything, including businesses, state or local governments, private institutions, or individuals (“Regulations”). Even though the EPA serves to help humans by protecting the environment, it can also harm humans. The damages done to our economic lifestyles are getting worse as the EPA gains more power. Because the EPA is the only regulatory agency for the environment, they can make the rules as strict as they want. This can be problematic for

Every place people visit, whatever people eat, buy, grow, wear, read, watch, send, and/or receive are governed by some agency rule or regulation. Take for instance, in New Jersey, a leisurely park is regulated by a town’s local Park Commission, which is regulated by the State Division of Parks and Forests, which is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, which is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, all of which are administrative agencies within the fourth branch of government.

It is also important that chemicals that are produced are safe for the environment or else hazardous chemicals in the environment may end up in our bodies. Many products such as washing detergents may end up in our water supplies, oceans or groundwater. In all cases, these chemicals should degrade to form harmless products. For example, many detergents used to be made from sodium salts of alkylbenzene sulfonic acids. These acids were not able to degrade naturally and resulted in foam production in sewages. This was not only unsafe for our air and water but also hard to manage. They are now made from readily degraded sodium salts of linear sulfonic acids. This not only eliminates waste but is also safer for humans and our

We live in a world that offers so many things to us. A home, food, water, life itself, yet we don 't take much care of it and are destroying it instead. The presence of pollution has been around for such a great amount of time now that you would expect us as humans, to start noticing the mass destruction we are causing and start doing something about it. Glaciers are melting, water levels are rising, the water and air around is being polluted if it 's not polluted already. There is little being done to try and stop or at least slow down this fatal event. If we do not start taking care of our own home, we will soon be left with no home at all, and the only one’s we can blame for that, is ourselves.

Regulations are meant to protect the environmental and consumers. They take the form of permits, package, etc

White’s thesis in The Historical Roots of our Ecological Crisis states that in order to confront the expanding environmental crises, humans must begin to analyze and alter their treatment and attitudes towards nature. The slow destruction of the environment derives from the Western scientific and technological advancements made since the Medieval time period. “What people do about their ecology depends on what they think about themselves in relation to things around them” (RON p.7). Technology and science alone will not be able to save humans until we adjust the way of thinking and suppress the old ideas of humans power above nature. Instead, we need to learn how to think of ourselves as being

The decline of the environment due to natural and human exertion is known as the degradation of the environment. The natural weather occurrences such as heavy rain, flooding, storms, earthquakes, volcanoes etc. are not administered under human control. These meteorological phenomenon’s wreak devastation on the environment from time to time causing the land to become unsuitable to cultivate. On this subject matter, the human population does not contain the power to stop the wrath of Mother Nature. Rather, we are forced to sit back and watch. Nevertheless, humans engage in a crucial role towards the degradation of the environment in which we live in. Unavoidably, the degradation of the environment is a rising and utmost worldwide subject. I accept that the root cause to environmental degradation is the excessive use of resources on our land utilized by the processes under capitalism. As Jensen wrote in Endgame, “The global industrial economy is the engine for massive environmental degradation and massive human and (nonhuman) impoverishment.

Environmental issues have been a cause of a lot of debate in the recent past. Governments and nongovernmental organizations have been in constant consultations on how to help protect the environment. Apparently, as a result of man’s many actions, the natural environment is getting torn apart so quickly that the coming generations will not enjoy this kind of environment, unless a

This plays a major factor in health risk for individuals of the community. When chemical pollutants enter waterways, and contaminate fish, the human consumption could be tragic. Health conditions that may arise from toxic waste in water may include organ failure or possible death.

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
