Pollution Caused By Natural Sources

Thousands of plastic water bottles are being tossed inconsiderably into the bayous, rivers, and large bodies of water every year. Because of this action, it raises many concerning issues that appeal to a variety of people. The artist has strong view points and opinions towards the topic of pollution. The artist created an image of a photo-shopped iceberg made of plastic water bottles compared to a real natural iceberg in a body of water. The visual image is depicted in great detail in accordance to the contents of the subject as well as the point of view of the artist. The artist uses rhetorical appeals to bring awareness to the warnings, threats, and stifling of pollution, and what pollution means to them.

Pollution can cause changes in the planet’s energy balance, such as changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere, variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface. The changes have changed the climate many times which have an effect on humans also. (NRC EPA. 2010) Our planet can is good at reusing waste but humans are producing more than what the Earth can handle. Pollution happened at different stages and it has an impact on all living things including species and humans. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species.

Air pollution causes great damage to the environment. These damages include acid rain, eutrophication,haze, ozone depletion, global climate change, etc. "Acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids."Acid

When it comes to nature, trees, rivers, the sky, air pollution also affect the environment. Air pollution can harm the ecosystem. “Nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide cause eutrophication and acidification of lakes and streams, damaging ecosystems” (Melamed et al, 2016). This can harm the environment and contribute to the human health problems. We drink water, and water plants with water. Even more particulate matter interact with cloud formation processes and may impact the amount and location of precipitation (Melamed et al, 2016). This is the reason of flooding and water problems.

More than half of the human population knows what pollution is but we are still not ready to face it's damaging consequences. Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollution comes in many forms and no matter where you live, you've probably seen some form of it. Some litter of NYC city streets to the smog that lingers ov0er LA to the plastic trash that floats in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the visible signs of pollution are more than evident. The main reason for a why pollution has gotten too out of control is that our desire for more “stuff” has led to our old stuff being thrown away at an alarming and unnecessary rate. As humans we have impacted the environment in so many different ways. The 3 main pollutants i will be talking to you about is water, air, and soil pollutions since these are the three main ones that are affecting not only us as humans but our planet that we live on.. These three main pollutants have affected the environment in many different ways such as climate change and even habitat destruction towards our planet and is in need to be taking some Extreme Measures and actions in order to decrease the pollution to our home.

Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat.

When a power or Industrial plant uses water to cool down things inside the factory and then they release the water back to where it came from can cause a Thermal Pollution. When the water is returned at a higher temperature then what it was at. That then leads to a decrease in the dissolved oxygen level in the water. It also increases the biological demand of aquatic organisms for oxygen (Krantz 1996). There are some things that are not caused by human activity such as Ecological Pollution. An example of ecological pollution would be an increased rate of siltation of a waterway after a landslide which would increase the amount of sediments in runoff water. Another example would be when a large animal, such as a deer, drowns in a flood and a large amount of organic material is added to the water as a result. Major geological events such as a volcano eruption might also be sources of ecological pollution (Krantz 1996).

Some organisms may react to the pollutants more than others and some could be exposed to the pollutants in higher doses, for example, fish in areas of polluted water (Spooner, 2012). Pollution has many forms, for example, air, soil, water, noise and light. Water pollution is a result of industrial waste products being released into rivers, lakes and other water bodies and as a result of this it has made some marine environments no longer habitable. Acid rain, fertilisers and polluted water can result in soil pollution and as a result, for example, this can lead to bad crops. Soil pollution occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground storage tank leakage and this releases heavy contaminants into the soil, such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons and pesticides. Air pollution is one of the most harmful types of pollution to the environment. Air pollution is caused by harmful smoke that is produced by vehicles and factories. Evidence of an increase in air pollution is seen in lung cancer, asthma and allergies, along with serious and irreparable damage to fauna and flora. Also, this has affected the migratory pattern of birds as severe air pollution can prevent them from reaching their seasonal metropolitan destinations of centuries (UCCEE, 2006). The impact that pollutants have on the environment is vast and detrimental, as excessive levels of pollution can cause a great amount of damage to the

Furthermore, there are many types of pollution; Air pollution is the change of atmospheric chemistry by chemical interference. Water pollution is the change of the quality of water when pollutants are directly or in directly distributed into water. Soil pollution, is the high concentration of toxic chemicals in soil. Thermal pollution is the change of water temperature that affects the aquatic. Light pollution, inappropriate use of artificial light. Noise pollution is the disturbing noise that affects the activity of human and animal life. Visual pollution, for instance telecommunication and electric wires and poles, signboards, garbage heaps and landfills and barren lands and deforestation. And the Radioactive pollution: the emissions of radiations substances to the environment from human

Pollution is caused by both human and natural events. There are many different types of pollution. Some of these types of pollution include air, water, and land pollution.

Pollution is well-known for the cause of diseases. Humans have been exposed to many health problems such as lung irritation from factories’ smog, which form from smoke from factories and fog; the body cannot break down toxic chemicals so breathing difficulty occurs; and the chemicals interact each other sometimes can lead to cancer, an incurable disease.

Pollution of the surrounding environment has accelerated dramatically after the industrial revolution, leaving a legacy faced by modern society. The primary source of such pollutions is the burning of fossil fuels, mining and smelting of metalliferous ores, municipal wastes, agrochemicals and sewage. Migration of contaminants from neighboring contaminated land to a non-contaminated sites as vapors and leachate through the soil or as dust or spread of sewage sludge, further contributes to the contamination of natural ecosystems (Khan 2005). A wide range of materials causing contamination includes heavy metals, inorganic and organic compounds, oil and tars, toxic and explosive gases, combustible and putrescible substances, hazardous wastes and

The process of building computers affects the environment. Each year, millions of empty laser cartridges and discarded computers are dumped in tips as landfill.

Pollution is one of the biggest killers, affecting more than 100 billion worldwide. One of the countries suffering the most from this growing problem is China. 5000 people or more die every day from drinking unclean water, and people who live in high-density air polluted areas have a greater risk of death from lung diseases and cancers (Rinkesh, 2009, line 3). Pollution is a problem that needs to be reduced, It will never be completely eliminated but we can help these rising problems by taking the proper action. In my group’s Global Project we have decided to tackle this problem through awareness.

• Troposphere.The lowest layer of the atmosphere which begins at the surface is the troposphere. It extends to 18 km above Earth’s surface. Almost all of the weather occurs in this layer. The troposphere is Earth’s densest atmospheric layer. Temperature decreases as altitude increases due to expansive cooling.
