We have come to see as the years progress so does the atmosphere we live in. We have many things that we are able to take into account when looking at the major changes our Earth has seen in the past years. Many things are taken into account when looking at these changes pollution, global warming, greenhouse gases, and the effect humans have on Earth. We can often times imagine the changes we see on Earth as a cycle that is forever frequently changing. What can we do to make a change in what our future Earth looks like? Pollution can be linked to many underlying issues in our world. How else can I describe pollution, then as a poison to our Earth 's atmosphere? Pollution is rapidly destroying our Earth. Pollution happens to be one of the biggest global killers, according to pbs.org. The Global Alliance on Health and Pollution found that pollution has caused three times as many deaths as serious health illnesses such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis altogether (Varadharajan). PBS.org states, the annual death rate due to pollution is said to be at 8.4 million people a year. That makes pollution one of the biggest factors for health disease and death in our world (Varadharajan). There is not just one form of pollution in our world that affects us, there are various types of pollution taken into effect. Sources of pollution are classified as point source and non-point source pollution. Point source pollution as defined by National Ocean Service Education is any visible
Pollution is one of the biggest global killers, affecting nearly 100 million people. Pollution comes in many different forms and affects the world and the environment in many different ways. Along with the best known pollutants such as water, air, and land, there are other pollutants that many people do not know much about. These include light, noise, thermal, and household pollution and are all just as damaging as the most known ones. Pollution is an introduction of a harmful or poisonous substance into the environment that has a negative effect on life around it. Pollution is deadly, and it is destroying the only world suitable for life. Pollution is a
Pollution is one of the most concerning topics to talk about in today's modern world. It acts as a poison for anything that lives and breathes; it could toxify water, air, land, humans, and animals, and is not to be taken lightly.
Air pollution is the type of pollution that is the most dangerous of them all. The major cause of pollution is by the emissions of smoke from automobiles that especially emit suplur dioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. These gases can play a role in creating acid rain and smog. Sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases which are warming up the planet .Air pollution leads to people getting sick such as getting increasing the risk of lung cancer and other types of cancers, asthma, and allergies, getting headaches, respiratory diseases cardio vascular problems, and neurobehavioral disorders.
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
There are many types of pollution, some examples are ocean and air pollution. Ocean and air pollution are serious issues that has been going on for years. Until today, pollution is still occurring and still considered a threat to the environment and people. Air pollution is when enormous amount of dust and gasses combine. On the other hand, ocean pollution is when marine animals and lifestyle are being affected due to natural and human activities. There are consequences to humans and animals if these types of pollutions are not solved. It can also cause a shorter life span for the majority of the people. Pollution is a critical issue, sadly people are not wised enough to care and act upon this situation.
Pollution is the act of making the land, water, air and other parts of our ecosystem dirty and unusable. Pollution is a huge problem not just in America but all over the world. Approximately 200 million individuals worldwide are impacted by pollution. The pollution causes poisons that can cause cancer and leads to shorter lives. Much of the Earth’s pollution is a result human everyday activities. We need to be more aware of the ways we pollute, how it affects our ecosystem, and what we can do about it.
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.
Air pollution is a type of pollution that occurs when harmful substances, including particulates and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere. There is a lot of chemicals that get released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned; the effects that these chemicals have on our bodies when inhaled can be very detrimental to our health and well being. A few things that can occur when we breathe in polluted air are; firstly, you are put at a higher risk of respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis. Second, exposure to higher levels of particle pollution have been shown to correspond to higher risks of heart complications. Third, immune system, endocrine, and reproductive system damage; which can lead to future health complications. Four, when living in an area with lots of air pollution you are being put at higher risks for cancer. The pollutants in the air mostly contain of carcinogens; “any substance, radionuclide, or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer.” Five, contact with the air pollution can lead to neurobehavioral problems and premature death. These are a few of the main effects that air pollution has on humans.
8 billion people call this planet home today, and what have we done to it. We have made the planet grow for good and for bad. We have made advances that have changed the world but the process to making these advances are not always good. The world has gone through some serious change in the recent history of the planet. Burning of fossil fuels, unregulated methods of productions, and rapid industrialization of cities. India in the 1700’s was under control of the British Government and demand made them industrialize very rapidly with no regulations to control pollution. The same thing is happening to China now with the need for resources which causes rise in population which means higher demand for resources, an endless circle. But what causes these changes to happen and so rapidly. Why is today’s world so polluted?
There are two kinds of pollution that are being discussed in these paragraphs. They are known as point source pollution and non-point source pollution. Point source pollution is any single source of pollution from which pollutants are discharged, such as a pipe, ditch, ship or factory. Non-point source pollution is both water and air pollution from many different sources. Well from both nonpoint source and point source pollution there are over 160 million tons of pollution emitted into the air in one year in the United States.
We also have a lot of things in our world now that cause pollution. Transportation, food production, and energy production. These things are just some of the many pollution causes on earth.
Pollution is caused by people littering, throwing their trash everywhere, wasting energy, and burning fuel from vehicles. Pollution effects all animals and plants from around the world. It can harm them and kill them. Some animals have gone extinct because of pollution, thanks to humans. To be exact, over 11 species of animals have gone extinct because of pollution, Not to mention people have died too! How much? Well, about 6.5 million people have mainly because of respiratory problems (lung cancer caused by air pollution) . Yea, its really bad. Pollution has been around for a long time in the U.S since the mid-19 centuries. It got worse because of the industrial revolution. This caused the air and water to become polluted because of all of the manufacturing factories, which uses coal for their factories and threw their waste
Pollution is a very big issue. It is a problem that nations across the world struggle with. The power of pollution is caused by technology, culture, and location and geography. It’s a big problem because if we don’t change something now it’s only going to get worse. Pollution is harmful to us and wildlife. It is in the air we breath, the water we drink and even the soil we use for our crops. Pollution causes environmental degradation, bad human health, and Global Warming. If something doesn’t change now, it’s only going to get worse. Pollution is so powerful because of the massive effect it has on the World.
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.
Many may say that I’m foolish for believing that our plane is capable of sustaining a large population, but I argue this because I truly see a change happening in our world. While we may always have wars, poverty, mistreatment, illegal activities and natural disasters, many good-hearted people are devoting their life to help our planet grow and sustain a large population. Our planet is already capable of sustaining more people than we currently have on earth, “while population doubled; food supply tripled” (Henrylito 2008). The obstacle that many countries in poverty face can be largely directed on its economy rather than on the earth running out of resources. Countries with undeveloped economy face poverty because they are incapable of buying their resources, not because the resources do not exist. I believe that the solution to poverty as well as sustaining a large population lies in developing free resources.
