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.

Our planet relies on vegetation as a source of oxygen and cutting it down takes away that source. This creates an unstable balance where civilization needs to rely on something else for that missing part of oxygen. To what extent should humans prevent deforestation in major forests worldwide? Forests cover about 30% of our entire planet and scientists are predicting that within the next 50-100 years, deforestation will cause all non-protected forests to be cut down (National Geographic). As stated by the NASA Earth Observatory author and editor Rachel Lindsey, “In the Amazon alone, scientists estimate that the trees contain more carbon than ten years of human produced greenhouse gases” (Lindsey). As people cut down trees on a daily basis, the carbon that is held in the tree is released into the atmosphere, adding to the already present global warming problem. As the trees are cleared, people tend to replace this previously forested area with pastures and fields to grow crops on. This is not only bad for the environment, it additionally creates a hotter climate. Meanwhile, Science News author and previous writer/editor for the Chicago Adler Planetarium Janet Raloff shows readers that nitrous oxide has a large impact on the ozone of our planet, contributing to global warming and climate change. The ozone absorbs most of the radiation coming from the sun to the earth. As trees are cut down, it increases the rate of nitrous oxide released into the atmosphere

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.

WATER CONTAMINATION- Contamination of Ground Water is mainly due to intensive human activities. This has a negative impact on the human health and the environment (Jianhua Wu and Zhanchao Sun 2015). Some of the causes for water pollution are industries (the discharge of hot water from the cooling engines to the nearest lake or river), agriculture (use of pesticides and fertilizer), the toxic water from households, sewage leakages, Radioisotopes, Mining and coal production (Owa 2014). To control this damage, there should be some engineering solutions.

Rush hour seems to create more pollution in the metro Atlanta area. Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale are counties in metro Atlanta that received failing grades based on their ozone levels. Although Atlanta has made some progress, there is room for improvement (Stevens). In Atlanta, nitrogen is the main culprit for ozone pollution, which comes from vehicles (Southern Environmental Law Center). Atlanta is also ranked second for having the most polluted air (Southern Environmental Law Center).

The Earth is home to 950,000 species of insects, 150,000,000 species of animals and the most intelligent, efficient and deadly of them all: 7 billion humans. The Earth being the only planet inhabitable that can sustain life, its preservation is evidently vital - yet our efforts to do so are far behind the necessity to halt the exponentially increasing effects of our industrialization. Since the early 19th century, the research begun of our planet’s natural climate, with the French mathematician Joseph Fourier’s calculation that the Earth would be colder if it lacked an atmosphere. The escalation of greenhouse gas emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere escalated at the birth of the Industrial Revolution, and the effects have been illustrated clearly by scientists, which are getting increasingly more urgent on its maintenance. However, due to the recent decisions of the leader of our nation, who has chosen to prioritize economic relations over the dangerous state of our changes in climate and natural disasters, the need for its awareness is crucial. I am particularly passionate about the importance of spreading this aforementioned awareness and advocating for stricter regulations on carbon gas emissions, especially due to the fact that politicians have the ability to override these guidelines set by scientists. The three main points that are crucial to understanding climate change are: firstly, what it is and evidence that supports its existence, how it is affecting the Earth

Air Pollution pollution in my community has received very little concern or not given much attention. In essay will focus much in my community where I live, therefore it will not touch much details as per country per se but what pollutants have been identified in my community.

More than two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered in water and, as global population continues to grow, so does the pressure placed on water and the resources it contains. This pressure has caused many devastating issues to the ecosystems of large bodies of waters, where the evidence of human interference can be found in every square centimeter. Perhaps the most local example of these treacherous impacts can be found within the waters of the Lake of the Ozarks. Water pollution at the lake creates hazards for both the aquatic wildlife and tourists visiting the area. E. coli, a common bacteria found in the waters, has caused hundreds of deaths globally due to the illness it causes and poses a great risk to the high volumes of tourists that the area attracts each year. In addition to the human risk, the waste and runoff from storms and developing infrastructure have the potential to harm, and even kill, the organisms living in and around the area.

Water pollution is caused when water contains excessive amounts of biological agents & microorganisms, such as bacterial species, viruses, worms, and/or algae. This type of pollution is caused by decaying organic material in water, animal wastes, as well as improper disposal of human wastes. Chemical pollution is defined as the presence or increase in our environment of chemical pollutants that are not naturally present, or are found in amounts higher than normal. Most of the chemicals that pollute the environment are man-made, resulting from the various activities in which toxic chemicals are used for various purposes. The impacts are normally identified with the introduction to high measures of chemicals. Chemical contamination prompts different valid sicknesses, by and large by devouring toxic food, drinking exceptionally tainted water, or breathing poor quality air.

The ozone layer is earth's natural shield from the sun and without it we would dead. The ozone layer can never be repaired, so any damage done to it is permanent. A world without the ozone layer would immediately result in no vegetation, most animals dead, surviving humans flesh would be burning, cancer and organ deterioration. To prevent this from happening, we need to take care of the air and work together to live in a safer environment.

en I moved in Chicago four years ago, I assumed water it would be the last problem for the one of the biggest cities in the world. Considering that Chicago has a very big water resource such is Lake Michigan, seems that water pollution is increasing every day. First weeks in Chicago, I was told by my friends, not to drink the water by the tap, otherwise I would get sick. They suggested me to buy water bottles, as the water from the tap was very dirty. I always asked myself, why Chicago is listed in one of the cities that has water pollution, when it has opportunities to abolish this problem. This topic always provoked me, because we can take care of this problem if we really know what we should do.

The world is dying. It is being overrun with human pollution. Nobody notices where the most polluted parts are in the ocean, until they see trash floating upon waves, which then washes onto the shores. Animals get tangled up and cannot escape from human filth. There is no escape for them. There is no way for them to swim freely without getting tangled up. This is why people need to help prevent trash from getting into the oceans. Even if helping prevents 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.

Varieties of infectious diseases in the main water reserves that people supply to their cities and towns and in different countries around the world can be spread through water and influence water consumption of humans and also alter how they grow their plants and provide water for their animals. Some water- borne diseases such as Typhoid, Cholera, and Malaria can make people sick when they consume or come in contact with. Each year 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated sewage, stormwater, and mechanical squander are dumped into US water. This sewage often contains faeces, urine and laundry waste and is treated in water treatment plants. In many undeveloped countries, polluted water is a major negative factor in their lives. Many developing and undeveloped to western standards have a big issue with this; countries like Uganda are one of the leading countries suffering from water pollution. Uganda is filled with most fresh water, but with a high bacterial content.

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.
