Pollution In America

we’re wasteful. In order to find solutions for our trash problem, we must first admit that we are

Since human’s activity, pollution becomes a big problem in the world. There are a lot of part of pollutions include water pollution, light pollution and air pollution. Air pollution is happened in our life. The United States is also a victim of air pollution. In 1943, Los Angeles photochemical smog event occurred. The whole of Los Angeles was covered with smoke. There are about 400 people died and a lot of fruits in orchards began to wither.

One of the reasons that cause air pollution in the United States is combustion of fossil fuels. United states known as the developed countries. For big countries, there will have many moving vehicles. Burning oil from fossil fuels such as diesel is burnt in moving vehicles cause air pollution. When the oil is burned, dangerous gases released into air and the environment. From that, if the people overuse of fossil fuel, its will kill the environment as dangerous gases are polluting the environment and harm the habitat. Because of our selfishness, other must face hardship cause of air pollution that is produced from the environment also from the human. From the source that was found, according to Rakesh from Conserve Energy Future (CEF), dangerous

Over the past century there is a drastic change on Earth's Atmosphere mainly because of interference of human activities like using fossil fuels as a source of energy, and emission of greenhouse gases due to industrial processes.These activities have release a large amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases causing Earth’s average temperature to rise by 1.4’ and is expected to rise up to 11.5’F such changes can result in undesirable consequences.

There are two types of pollutions that can occur there are primary that is caused from a known source and secondary is formed with primary pollutants which are mostly from a chemical reaction. When the most important object that humans need to survive like water is polluted no one is able to drink from it because the outcome will be your loves ones attending your funeral. Five thousand people die from polluted water everyday. An important fact is that sewage and industrial waste from unsuccessful experiments or the unwanted garbage is being dumped in U.S waters. The world uses water for bathing, drinking, swimming, and other fun activities. Who would want to let their children play with polluted water. With industries sterilizing the water

Pollution was one of the problems of America in the 19th century and especially in the big cities like New York and Chicago. Hearing the word pollution, we might think about air pollution, water pollution, and sound pollution but here in the article it is discussed about the pollution created by horses in the big cities along with its positive and negative impact on the city as well as the people there. Although vehicles were already invented during that period, people in the big cities used the ride horse for their daily purpose and the number of horses at those city were one third of the total population of those places which was the main source of pollution.

Poor air quality is a serious issue as it affects the environment and human health. Pollution in the United States continues to be an ever-growing problem. In 1970, the Clean Air Act was amended and has since made great process in cleaning the air. The 1990 Amendment signed on November 15, 1990 marks the biggest change in protecting the ozone layer, reducing acid rain and toxic pollutants, and improving air quality.1 This law serves under the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that the environment is being protected and human health.

According to National Geographic Magazine, countries around the world have undertaken and implemented measures to combat air pollution. These measures aim to limit emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to air pollution. The United States of America is one of the hundred and seventy five (175) countries that signed the Paris Agreement to combat climate change which includes air pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of United States of America formulates strategies and enforces laws and regulations such as the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA as the enforcing agency stipulated in the clean air act that all stationary sources such as factories and chemical plants “must install pollution control equipment

Everyday, each American creates 4.3 pounds of waste such as paper, cardboard, and much more; but where does it all go? As Americans, we go to the grocery shop. What do you use to carry your items? Your answer should be a reuseable bag. Sadly, the majority’s answer is plastic or paper bags. In addition, when the landfills are at capacity it is a health hazard to many. The overfilled waste causes an unhealthy environment to live in. People need to conserve more of their resources, or there will be several very negative side effects.

Today’s day in age, we look around and see waste everywhere we go. Garbage trucks picking up waste, landfills over flowing, Green House gas Emissions entering our atmosphere. So much intelligence in the world, yet we still contribute to a large portion of waste that is destroying our planet. How can we decrease potential waste? As a planet we are ruining our ecosystem which keeps us able to live in a sustainable manner. We will be analyzing two articles one from The Washington Post and the other from NPR. In both articles we will discuss the issues having to do with food waste such as over production, environmental issues, and the waste of useable products.

Pollution is a problem that many people in America have seen coming for decades. Everyday many industries and factories all around America have been releasing toxins and other gases into the air. Motorized vehicles are also another source of air pollution as they release combusted gases. Another source of pollution is water pollution, which is caused by oil spills, acid rain, and urban runoff. Everyday more and more pollutants are released into the atmosphere and waters, and no one seems to be doing anything, at least on a large scale. The amount of damage that has already happened, is expected to take millions of years to recoup. Signs of damage have been coming up all over the United States. Natural disasters as well as global warming have been occurring more and more often as years go by.

Environmental pollution is an enormous problem in the United States. Environmental pollution is a substance that is harmful or poisonous to the environment. Air pollution, water pollution, thermal pollution, and soil pollution are major types of environment pollution. Pollution is linked to some of the most deadly diseases. “Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas which is poisonous at high levels. CO bonds with hemoglobin more easily than oxygen, so that it reduces the body's ability to deliver oxygen to organs and tissues” (Neidell, 1005). Air pollution is the most harmful out them all because we inhale it every day. "Ozone (03) is a secondary air pollutant formed by nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of

In this day in age many people don’t truly understand the fragility of the environment and the course that takes place when pollution affects ecosystems, forests, and the way society as a whole functions. This research paper will be based on the effects that pollution has solely on the United States of America, the location has been more specific in order to give prime examples and fully specify the meaning and the impact of environmental awareness. Because to understand environmental awareness is to comprehend the fragility of the environment, and to fathom how air pollution, ecosystems, forests, and the disposal of waste affect the environment.

Air pollution is a problem in the United States. However, many committed programs such as the Environmental Protective Services (EPA) and the Clean Air Act are working to make the environment healthier and improve air quality. A report in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology concluded the planting green plants and tree improve the nitrogen and particulate matter at street level which is harmful to the population's health. Nitrogen oxide(NO2) reduced by 40% and particulate matter (PM) by 60% (www.acs.org, 2012). The atmosphere and lakes have been used as a cesspool to cause; it is vital in the continuous of finding the safe renewable energy that will impact the health of the people and benefit the plantet. The government

Earth, home to the beauty of blue skies and clear waters, and bearer of each delicate life form, from the moss floating atop rivers, to the lions that prowl the mesa deserts; however, Earth is also home to the most destructive life form, humans. People reap the fruit of the Earth and bask in the beauty of nature, yet for generations, the efforts to protect the environment have only declined. The pollution that is wrought upon the environment every day is too often ignored for “more important” issues, such as poverty or crime; however, protecting the literal soil that people dwell on is just as vital as patrolling the society in which they live. Environmental pollution is a growing issue in the U.S. today, caused primarily by the lack of public concern or caution, harmful chemicals used by manufacturers and farmers, and lack of government enforcement or intervention.
