My Life Of A New York City Pollution

Preview: Today I will be discussing the what is cystic fibrosis, how it affects our youth, and ways to back to those we have lost.

My mom scheduled for it to be in 2 weeks. the day comes and i am nervous, i don't know why because i know what they do, i just was. They put my IV in and put medicine in my system to make me loopy. They wheel me back to the operating room, lay me on a table and put a mask on me. the anaistgyolygest say “ count down from 10 buddy” i say “10, 9, 8-” i am out cold. about 13 hours past, its 8 o'clock, the thing i remember most is how my throat was drier than the dessert. my nurse asks “how you feel buddy?” i reply “it hurts” she told me she would take care of that, i'm not being facetious when i say this, but she turns me on my side and puts a shot in my butt. i rest for another hour then they wheel me out to the car and take me home. getting upstairs was the hardest part,

I woke up startled and didn’t know where I was. I had an IV in my arm and my parents were staring at me. The doctor came in

I couldn't believe what was happening. My dad turns to the doctor and says "What do you mean ICU?" That's when she tells us I have bleeding in my brain and that I can't eat or drink and need an IV right away. I'm still so mad at my dad to this day because he promised me I wouldn't need an IV. After they get the needle in, they put a bunch of medicine into me and said that it would make me a little weird. "A little weird" wasn't even close to what it did to me. I thought I was going to have to get moved in a mental hospital after taking that medicine. I couldn't spell or talk and when I did talk nothing I said made sense. People were constantly texting me and I didn't know what I was typing so everyone responded with "what is wrong with you?" Honestly at this point I had no idea. My boyfriend was still here and was laughing at me because of how crazy I sounded but I was honestly scared and thought I was going to be this way forever.

New York City has unique benefits in that there are tremendous amounts of people who live within close proximity to each other. This has resulted in higher uses of mass transit systems (such as: subways and buses). On average, New York’s total environmental footprint is 7.1 metrics tons per person annually. This is much lower than national average of 24.5 metric tons. The city contributes 1% of the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere for the United States each year. (“Inventory Greenhouse of New York City,” 2007) (Jarvey, 2006)

1. What is the difference between the type of smog experienced by cities in the eastern United States and that found in Southern California? early people burned wood for heat and cooking fires in enclosed spaces such as caves and small tents or houses. And Photochemical smog is the abundance of cars and sunshine that provided the perfect setting for a chemical reaction between some of the molecules in auto exhaust or oil refinery emissions.

I couldn’t imagine what it would be like growing up with a life threating condition that has no cure. Amanda Estep is a 21-year-old, college student and also a close friend of mine who has been battling Cystic Fibrosis since she was three years old. Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system, making it hard to breath. “Basically everything in my body is thicker, so the mucus in my lungs is harder to break up and get out which causes frequent lung infections.” Amanda explained to me. Cystic Fibrosis also impacts her ability to digest food, resulting in her being underweight most of her life. While I have known Amanda since kindergarten, we have never talked in depth about how much she has to do to remain as healthy as possible. Hearing her explain her story made me realize how lucky I am to be healthy, and that’s something’s no one should take for granted. There is currently no cure for Cystic Fibrosis, but Amanda shared some of the many things she has to do in order to remain as healthy as possible. Some of those things includes being hospitalized for two weeks four or five times a year, taking many medications, and knowing how hard she can push herself.

First time giving IV medication was scary for me. I have never given IV medication before and we only learned how to give IV push once. The first time preparing, I was very confuse and nervous and I’m sure everyone can tell. However, Janet helped me go through it step by step, it got easier when I did it again the second time. I do hope to have the opportunity to give more medications so I can practice more.

Like all of us, those with cystic fibrosis want to live. To experience. Gold speaks of the looming mortality that all cystic fibrosis clients are living with every day. We are all mortal, although those with this disease just know that they are more likely to live a shorter life and they want to live it to the fullest (Picard, 2000). Personal knowledge allows a nurse to better understand a client’s needs and the things we may want to do when we ourselves are a little older, the adolescent with Cystic fibrosis may want to do earlier, before they no longer have that

Being one of the biggest social issues in Los Angeles, Air pollution has two main reasons: vehicle traffic and population growth. Actually, it is in a such crucial level that scientists indicate that air pollution in Los Angeles may endanger peoples lives. Scientific researches show that the air pollution causes cancer and have an impact on pregnant woman. Advertisements shows us some solutions like making public transportation common and sustainable housing. With the growing population of Los Angeles, something has to be done . Otherwise it is going to be impossible to deal with the air pollution. Population growth in Los

The topic that I wanted to discuss about is the sanitation problem that New York City has and how can we improve these conditions. First of all, I realized that NYC is dirty and smelly. People are throwing garbage everywhere, resulting in a horrible conditions in NYC. This can affect people’s health and mood, so I want to improve this condition.

I would like to declare my independence from Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Cystic Fibrosis is a chronic respiratory disease that adds a lot of extra suffering in life. Every (school) day I wake up an extra 30 minutes early to do a nebulizer and a breathing treatment (I also have to do them after school). I went to the hospital twice (5 days and 10 days) this year alone. I have to take about 30 pills a day when I eat. I cannot do any yard work (stuck with the dishes). I cannot use hot tubs (the struggle). I have to eat about double the fat and double the calories every day to maintain a heathy weight and have energy for that day. My lung function can drop 20% in 3 days and stay there. Finally, I cannot come into contact with other CF patients without

Houston is one of the largest cities in the United States and is considered the energy capital of the world. As a result, pollution is another concern for the area. This is the ideal of ideal places for a chemical engineering major because of its prevalence in the surrounding area. Because of this, I want to do research on alternative energy sources, optimizing fuel consumption or even ways to take polluted particles out of the atmosphere. The near future will see increasing levels of global pollution if we do not now step in and take hold.

Every time I hear this song it makes me long to leave all of my responsibilities and head off to the city of dreams. A trip to New York has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. I have always wanted to visit the place of tall buildings, history, and where culture is intertwined with its people. I have wanted to live the fast pace life of a New Yorker, where I could stand outside and see, smell, and taste all of the experiences that this city has to offer. I have been building and building this ideal image in my mind for so long. If I ever get to New York, will I be disappointed by the city that never sleeps? The city that is a part of almost every movie I watch. Can New York live up to the expectations I have

Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment. It is a major problem in America and as well as the world. Pollution not only damages the environment, but damages us also. It has cause many problems ranging from lung cancer to the greenhouse effect. It is all among us but we continue to live in our own filth. What is the reason behind this flawed logic? In this paper I will examine the problems and solutions for this issue.
