Environmental Pollution

Worldwide temperatures are rising, carbon dioxide is at a hazardous level, ocean acidification, atmosphere boundary shifts, and extreme events are just a few of the worldwide climate changes happening near and far. It is a controversial issue whether it is taking place in the present velocity because of nature or man. However, global climate changes happen naturally, but they ought not to happen at this increased rapidity; therefore, human activity is a great cause that global climate change is happening at an expanded rate. The greatest contribution of human action is the combustion of fossil fuels, which is one of the primary reasons why the carbon dioxide levels are nearing high-hazard strata. Thus, the scientific confirmation supports that the rise in carbon dioxide levels is significantly generated by people, not nature, and people are ultimately the largest contributor to the atmospheric changes; thus, human beings should implement changes to their energy sources and modify agricultural production in order to lessen the quantity of carbon dioxide emitted into the aura at the extraordinary rate it currently is passing.

There are various types of air pollution contributors in California such as fire generated pollutants and vehicle traffic, which add particulate matter and carbon monoxide into the air we breathe. According to an article by Union of Concerned Scientists (Cars, trucks, and air pollution, 2014) particulate matter is made up of fine particles soot and metal that can pose serious threats to human health when deep in the lungs. Other pollutants emitted from vehicles are: nitrogen oxide which lowers the body’s defense system against respiratory infections such as pneumonia, carbon monoxide which blocks oxygen from reaching vital organs, sulfur dioxide which is emitted by both power plants and vehicles affect children and asthmatics, and hazardous air pollutants (toxics) which are chemicals that are linked to cancer, birth defects and other illnesses (Union of Concerned Scientists, 2014).

Air Pollution today has lead CDC's fight against environmental -related respiratory illness, including asthma.An estimated number of 6.5 million deaths are attributed each year to poor air quality, making this the world's largest threat to human health.According to the World Energy Outlook and the IEA estimate that death due to household air pollution in Africa may decrease by 110,00 to 2040.However, due to economic growth, urbanization and automobile emissions, outdoor air pollution may rise from 300,00 to 450,000 over the same period. Am going to be looking at the causes of air pollution. the problems emerging with air pollution and also how we as a community can help decrease the amount of death rate associated with air pollution.I remember growing up in Africa Air pollution was always a talk about a subject that always comes out because it is really contagious due to the fact that we are breathing bad air that is caused by our human contribution to the environment.Air pollution is considered to be a public health problem, it is responsible for most of our health problems after some research has been conducted in many different parts of the world and regions. According to the Geochemistry and Health paleopathological research suggests that air pollution is a form of smoke, plagued our oldest ancestors.Air pollution has emerged as one of the leading risk factors for stroke worldwide.

Climate change is a real problem facing our world with all of the progression of today’s society. The amount of Greenhouse Gas emissions has gone up drastically in the past one hundred years alone. The use of transportation, industry, electricity and the deprivation of the world's natural resources has increased the amount of Carbon Dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. The Environmental Protection Agency has shown an increase in the Earth's temperature by 0.8 degrees C in the past century alone. It is proven that humans are the cause of global warming but it is not too late to change how we are.

Climate change began in the 1820s with Joseph Fourier and in the 1860s with John Tyndall. Fourier put into motion the “greenhouse effect.” An effect where trapped gasses in the lower atmosphere absorb the sun’s heat. Tyndall found that “greenhouse gasses” cover the earth like a sheet. This is how the earth keeps cool and warm. Yet, too much greenhouse gasses can be futile. During this time, humans did not know that they were the ones causing implications. 100 years later, Svante Arrhenius proposed that “…doubling the CO2 content of the planet’s atmosphere would raise its temperature by 2.5 to 4.0 degrees Celsius” (Frank, para 7). Any slight change in temperature can offset the ecosystem. People began to act to save their planet, but there are still many in denial.

Current data reveals that the concentration of Carbon Dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is approximately 387 parts per million, which is roughly a 31% increase in the period 1750 to 2009. Consequently, it is evident that such increases in temperatures have caused a warmer planet (7). It is also evident that it is impossible to reverse the developments of industrial revolution. This means that as the advancements of industrial revolution continue and as energy demands increases, it is possible that this trend of climate change will continue for decades to come (McAloon, 8). The consent of the climate research community is that it most likely already affects climate noticeably and will compel significant

Climate change, otherwise known as global warming, has grown more apparent in recent years, with increased natural disasters, significantly warmer temperatures and unreasonably long seasons. Global warming is one of the main concerns that scientists have been researching for the past century. Scientific evidence shows that global warming is caused by human behaviors. Due to the amount of human-induced carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that have been released into the air, the earth is becoming a highly poisonous place to live on. Earth’s climate has been constantly changing ever since the Industrial Revolution, when innovations began and factories were built, which emitted mass air pollution. As more technological

The likelihoods surrounding the controversial issue of global warming have caught the attention of the world; however, a new concern about what steps we are doing to deal with it is being reviewed and sensibly evaluated. This has generated the idea that a variety of simple more practical ideas should be considered. After conducting my own survey, I found that the approximately 53% are not only worried about global warming, they are also generally uninformed and claim to be unsure about what they believe concerning this crisis. Global warming and the effects it may be having on earth such as, the daily release of greenhouse gasses, drastic changes in the weather and the grave impact the harsh conditions are having on the animal and insect populations. Originally, when the earth was being formed we couldn’t have lived here, there was too much methane, but as the planet evolved there came a time during which the atmosphere was friendly to oxygen breathing animals. The increase of oxygen producing items such as trees produced an adequate supply of oxygen; therefore, allowing plenty of opportunity for the world to evolve successfully.(McLamb) With this concept in mind, we must continue to depend on nature; therefore, rather than the world focusing on global warming and whether or not it exists, we must begin applying a more practical approach. Although we have plenty to be concerns about global warming, our primary focus of this crisis must be transferred to far more practical

Have you ever wondered how pollution, or more specifically how fossil fuels add to the effects of global warming? Fossil fuels are organic hydrocarbons formed from the remains of dead animals and plants which have decayed for millions of years, there are three main types coal, oil and natural gas. While oil is the most biggest form of energy source today, coal was discovered first and has been use since 1,000 BC and it was in the 1800s that it replaced biomass as the primary source of energy while massive consumption of fuel didn't start until early 1900s. Despite being a natural source these fossil fuels have greatly impacted the environment negatively, adding to the greenhouse gases, inhibiting heat to be released into the solar system and as a result is causing rising sea eels and irregular weather patterns.

Abstract—The no of vehicles in operation world- wide had surpassed the 1 billion mark in 2010 .The rate at which this number is increasing is proportio- nal to the pollution level and maintenance problems. By automating this process using Internet of things and machine learning , we can make vehicles smarter, easily maintanable and more efficient. The paper formulates this approach using examples and explain- in detail about the techniques used.

At present, countries and governments have been facing and trying to figure out the best solutions that are relate with economy, politic, and social issues. However, the most essential is air pollution, which the U.S. government and other countries have been figuring out the best policy and solution to protect and reduce air pollution for living. As we know, the U.S. is the most responsible with air pollution in which economy develops rapidly. Furthermore, this is serious problem not only the U.S. federal government but also Texas state government.

On October 27, 1948, in Donora, Pennsylvania, an area where a daily fog of zinc and steel plants is normal, an abnormally sooty haze came into the town. This resulted in a third of the population falling ill and 20 people dead, a following 50 in later months. The US government after this tragedy, tighten the restrictions on industries that release pollution in the air. The emissions of six common air pollutants have dropped 70 percent since the 1970 passage of the Clean Air Act. Though there is progress in regulating air pollution, there are still people that are being affected and researchers have found that much more than just the lungs are at risk. The polluted air could be associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dementia.

The detrimental pollution issue regarding the Lake of the Ozarks is one that has been floating among the Ozarks for about a decade or two. The water quality has gone down the drain in recent years due to numerous factors such as leaking sewage and trash pollution. This issue is an environmental concern because it makes the Escherichia coli (E. coli) levels in the water go up, which can lead to illnesses and deaths of people and animals across the area. There was said to have been as much as 15,000 gallons of sewage that led directly into the Lake of the Ozarks (DNR). This is a problem because it is affecting the health of landowners near the area, fishermen, and local businesses, native wildlife, and aquatic organisms; however, people are asking why it may matter.

Individuals have a moral responsibility to reduce their greenhouse gas emission. First, the pollution from various parts of the universe can negatively impact people living in areas far from the point of contamination. In this case, it is unethical to make other individuals suffer because of engaging in reckless behavior that can be avoided. Humans are social beings, and therefore, they have the obligation of protecting each other from harm of any kind. In extreme cases, climate changes, such as prolonged drought and floods caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases result in death. Life is precious, and individuals have a moral obligation to protect it by all possible means. Second, the effects of releasing toxic gases into the atmosphere are felt after several years. In this case, when people produce toxic emission into the environment today, they put the survival of future generations at risk. Individuals fail to realize that if the ancestors engaged in irresponsible behaviors that the current generation seems to take part in fearlessly, today the world would not be fit for human survival. In this light, people have the accountability of reducing their greenhouse gas emission.

a result, large numbers of cities are suffering from air pollution. Almost two-thirds of cities in china have
