Environmental Pollution

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.

Air pollutions is a major problem across the united states and around the world. It is also probably the most serious environmental problems today. The term air pollution is just kind of tossed around and not taken as serious anymore although its effects are becoming greater. Air Pollution is toxic chemicals in the air, that can also be compounds and they are extreme enough to cause health risks. (Frank) This is damaging the ozone layer and creating global warming.

The world faces many issues, but the most important which will affect people living on this planet is that it is slowly deteriorating. Pollution, excessive greenhouse gases, and the ozone layer depletion are causing the environment to slowly degrade and cause chronic and fatal health issues such as cancer. One of the main ways to help the environment be a better place is by having businesses be more environmentally friendly. Businesses don’t have to put a lot of effort in helping the environment, but instead small changes can make a big difference. Businesses can help the environment by reducing their carbon emissions, reducing carbon capping, reducing pollution, and reducing the amount of greenhouse gasses that are being emitted into the air. Businesses helping the environment could also save money for the company and make the world a better place.

As a Florida resident, the concern regarding current legislation prohibiting contamination of Florida’s natural resources is alarming. It is quite simple to comprehend that pollution is ‘bad’ and that it has long term ill effects on the human population and the natural eco system alike. Many people have heard of lead contamination in drinking water or have observed pictures of sea creatures entangled in plastic, so a broad level of awareness is a non-issue. However, occurrences such as contaminated drinking water are believed to only exist in ‘other states’ or ‘in other countries’ because people conveniently believe that our government has our best interest in mind and feel that it is government obligation to injunction a healthy environment. The issue lies within the confines of government and the exacting measures of how legislation is defined and carried forth. Acknowledgement of substandard practices shall promote the needed sense of urgency to reverse damaging environmental practices and such urgency will only develop through action of government, pursued by the people. In the great state of Florida, environmental regulation should be held in the highest regard, as the ocean and waterways are the main providers of Florida’s flora and fauna. Exploration of federal and state government, as well as the dire necessity for a cleaner environment, will bring forth clarity and will generate momentum toward a flourishing and sustainable environment.

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.

Not only has climate changed the natural habits of weather in the world, it has also started to melt the fresh water ice caps which is causing the sea levels to rise. Globally sea levels rose by eight inches in the past century. Within two decades sea levels have increased more than twice of the increases recorded in the last century. This has caused many cities and countries to slowly sink into the ocean for an example Virginia’s Tangier Island. The ocean has reclaimed about 70% of the island in the past century. To make things better the President of the United States “Donald Trump” told the mayor ‘Your Island has been there for hundreds of years, and I believe your island will be there for hundreds more.’ The denial of climate change has been around for a century now but that should not be a cause to not continue to improve the way things are done to reduce the pollutants released into the atmosphere. If people in many of these advanced countries started to use public transportation most of the emissions created by vehicals can be drastically decreased. If gas guzlers were swapped for something more eco the release of these harmful fumes can be decreased. If these guzzling cars are changed for cars with electricity and hydro fuel can also help the earth. Venice, Italy is another city that is in the state of panic. The City of Venice will flood time to time like it is a natural occurrence. This flooding issue hasn’t just been a recent issue it started since the beginning

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.

Throughout the article: The Tragedy of the Commons, one can get a sense of a commonality or a theme in that mankind is the reasoning behind all the destruction and selfish acts that have occurred over the years. The article goes on to describe how humans are greedy and only interested in their own self gains so long as they can increase profit without a second thought to the degradation of the collapse of an ecosystem or environment. Air pollution would be no different when it comes to the consideration of the earth. The air pollution impacts the commons in that it not only affects what is directly surrounding its area but can have severe impacts to all things including various ecosystems and resources.

In the US alone, more than a hundred million people are exposed to varying amounts of particulate matter, lead or other pollutants in the air in portions that exceed the identified health standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. This includes children at public schools, and one in every eleven public schools is within 500 feet of major highways or other heavy sources of pollution. (1)

Did you know when you litter it goes straight to any water source! Have you ever wondered what gets washed into the rivers and waters for fish? Many of people litter and it just gets washed right into the rivers or people just throw garbage straight into the water for the fish to eat. So next time you have a piece of garbage think before you throw in straight onto the ground or in the water.

The world is dying. The world is being overrun with human pollution. The most polluted parts are the parts nobody notices until they see trash floating upon waves and washing onto shores. The animals get tangled up and cannot escape from human filth. There is no escape for them. This is why people need to help prevent trash from getting into the oceans. Even if helping prevent trash from entering the ocean cost more money than allowing it to enter the water system, it will prevent ecosystems, environments and their climates from perishing.

Previously, water was identified as a renewable resource, renewable resources are resources such as sunlight. In the recent years, water has been re-categorized as a non-renewable resource, although water is able to be used repeatedly because of the water cycle. Unfortunately seeing that a substantial proportion of water is being polluted, this water has become unsustainable, therefore making it nearly unusable again for human use, and non-renewable resource. According to Karr, Interlandi and Houtman, water pollution is defined as the addition of any substance to a body of water that might degrade its quality (2015). There are many sources that have been contributing to the rise of water pollution over the

Water pollution and pollution in general is a problem that people don't like to deal with. Water pollution can cause so much damage to people and to the animals that live in that body of water. The laws that we have are doing what they need to but we need to monitor the water more closely because if we don't catch the pollution when it happens it could cause a big disaster. It could kill all of the plant life that lives in the water and the animals that live there to. Some of the pollutions that occur are very hard to clean up and things might never be the same that it was. To clean something up it takes a lot of hours and a lot of man power to get this mess taken care of. Water pollution could be the cause of some animals being
