Essay about Pollution

Automobiles play a major role in today's society. Almost every American owns at least one motorized transportation vehicle. Some say they make our lives better by reaching places faster than before. Others say they are a harmful to the environment. Have they made our society better or worse? They may be fast, but do we as humans want our environment to suffer because of time. Face it, cars pollute. And they release destructive chemicals into the air. Air pollution can threaten the health of many subjects in the environment including human beings.

Pollution destroys our environment or our ecosystem. It is a huge problem and there are a lot of people around the world that is contributing to it. If one person changes it will not make much of a difference but if we all put an effort into improving we may see a difference. We need to be more aware of how we are polluting in our everyday lives. We need to keep finding solutions of what we can do to cut down on pollution then we will keep improving our lives. Our ecosystem is very important for our survival so we need to take good care of

There are so many different kinds of pollution like; air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, thermal pollution, radioactive pollution, noise pollution, and light pollution, but the most common two we hear about is water pollution, and air pollution those are the ones we have to figure out how to fix the most because they are causing the most danger and problems for us. There are a lot of different kinds of pollution, some that most people probably don't even know exist. Every kind of pollution has an impact on us, the environment and the animals surrounding us, everyone individually should do what they can to reduce their pollution habits.

Global warming is caused by human activity. This global warming in turn, causes hurricanes. The hurricanes will destroy the human population main resources. This will lower people into having less important resources such as: food, shelter and water. Having less resources could lead to poverty, which is known in developing countries such as: India, Philippines, and Haiti . There are also changes in the oceans that are being affected. This change occurring could lead to the ocean over flooding due to contaminating the ocean caused by humans because humans have an impact on the environment. Humanity needs to cut down the production in the coal industry because people are burning the coal; this is causing the coal to pollute the air people breath.

Growing up with busy parents lead me to look forward to car rides. I remember that I would rush to the car in pure excitement, so that I could view the beautiful skies dashing passed me as I talk to my parents. It did not matter where we would go as long as I got to be in the car with my family. Music peacefully played in the background as the sun set and my eyes would grow heavy, then I would soon be sound asleep. It was not until recently, when I visited New York City, that I fully awoke to the harsh reality of automobiles. My memory of the once magnificent skies in Oklahoma darkened by smog I witnessed in New York City and the music could no longer be heard over the loud noises of destruction.

Air is an indispensable part of human, animal and plant lives. Without it, no organisms would be able to survive on Earth (Reference, 2017). Due to excessive human activities, air pollution has become a detrimental worldwide issue in current days (Sciencing, 2017). However, scientists have found new chemicals that can assist in improving the air quality (Phys.org, 2017). Moreover, humans are able to adopt many methods to help decrease the severity of contamination released into the earth’s atmosphere. This investigation is linked to ‘application and limitation’ in ‘science as a Human Endeavour’.

China is creating different ways to battle the pollution throughout the effective measures like reducing coal consumption, shutting down factories and increasing vehicles that are electric hopefully these ideas will be effective around worldwide. Air pollution is becoming more dangerous around the society in China causing the elderly not able to inhale properly without the chemicals around the oxygen in China however, seeing little kids and adults wearing a mask covering their face to protect themselves from any harm with the air. This problem has been occurring from 1998 to 2013 after those 15 years China is still finding a way to clear the air. Although China effort in reducing air pollution will help to stop making the air denser, the society will tackle the issues while the environment is safer.

Cars have been around for over 100 years and they have provided a fast way of transportation. However, many people do not realize the harmful emissions that cars exert and the detrimental effects that they pose on environments and ecosystems around the world. Hawaii is a small state and tourism is what drives our economy. Activities such as hiking, snorkeling, and shopping are some of the main attractions in Hawaii. As a result, tourism causes a lot of car use and that paired with the rapidly increasing population of Hawaii, air pollution will destroy the environment and organisms of Hawaii. It is important that the people of Hawaii focus on this issue as soon as possible in order to save the environment and tourism. I want to try to persuade and show the public about the benefits that an electric car can have and show the negative effects that petroleum and diesel fuel using cars can have on the environment by using posters and ads and also making a non-profit organization that uses volunteers to help spread the word about the negative effects of car emissions and the benefits of electric vehicles..

Imagine living in a world where smog is everywhere and wearing a mask is the only way to step outside. Since the smog is betting so bad, it is impossible to see outside a window. Now, imagine a world where people have learned to use alternative energy. Gas powered cars are rarely ever used and power companies only produce alternative energy sources. No one has to worry about carbon emissions causing global warming ever again. Living in this type of world is almost impossible due to the fact that too many factories are releasing carbon emissions into the air. Factories that are essential in producing electricity and cars are burning fuel and release carbon emissions into the air.

People are likely to deny all the information, which they do not want to hear and to believe that it can concern anybody else but not him or her directly. The problem of climate change is not the issue that can affect the humanity in one moment in the same way smoking does not kill the smoker from the first day of addiction. However, the fact of the existence of the phenomenon remains undeniable, and every human makes his or her contribution to the development of the issue, which can be both adverse and beneficial. Although it is reasonably believed that climate change is affected by the use of cars, emissions from factories and the growing amount of garbage, there are hidden factors that encourage pollution and hurt the planet, including people’s growing passion for traveling, and even their diets on a par with the way of life.

Pollution is a manmade problem, we are the ones responsible for so many natural disasters. The chemicals and all different types of substances we spill into the ground start to become a big from for us in the long run. When these chemicals soak into the ground, air, and water, they all contribute to becoming a bigger part in pollution. These pollutants contain toxins that are destroying our ecosystems and all the living organisms living in them.

The words “going green” and “reducing pollution” is repeated like a broken record in today’s modern society, but many people know as well that executing these exact words are easier said than done. Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the problem of global warming and pollution have been a rapidly rising problem that has been addressed numerous amounts of times in the past and even the present. In the article, “New environment tax will hit businesses in China hard, say experts” by Maggie Zhang, Zhang describes that China has introduced a new environmental tax that will hopefully limit pollutants manufacturers release into the air. Zhang argues that the new tax may not be favorable yet necessary, not because of the attempt to reduce pollutants into the air is not enough, but the hidden problems that may arise due to this new tax being implemented. Although the new tax is necessary, problems that may arise from this new tax may include companies not being ready for the new tax, and a rise in consumer costs and supply.

Pollutants are impacting aquatic organisms distributed by daily human activities and natural occurrences. An extensive amount of pollutants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons can result in direct significant damage, e.g. death. However lower levels of these harmful substances can be stored in an organism and increase as it continues and follows up the food chain, a process called biomagnification or bioaccumulation, having the greatest effect on the top predator of that food chain. A common result of the pollutants can lead to stress, changing of the immune system, inhibit lysozyme activity, damage gills, metabolism, and growth. Other factors include an excessive amount of nutrients in the environment. Nitrogen can make its way into aquatic ecosystems when there is an increase in nitrous oxide in the air, allowing eutrophication. Algae and bacteria feed off the nitrogen, so a high number of these organisms appear and use oxygen around them as the feed, causing hypoxic zones, or dead zones. Acidification, an increase in the ecosystem’s pH acidity from acid rain, which occurs from an increase in CO2 from air pollution. Aquatic organisms have a range of tolerance, and water with high acidic pH will lead the organism out of the range of tolerance, resulting in stress of the organism, and eventually death. Further studies are being pursuited to see larger impacts of globalized pollution on aquatic species and their ecosystems.

Environmental pollution is one of the main threats to the destruction of our planet. Pollution destroys the existing environment and endangers the human existence on this Earth. Toxic emissions due to factories, transportation, and construction sites pollute the environment significantly. Undoubtedly, the economy may find countless benefits in such technological development; however, the risk is far greater than the reward. Climate change and global warming, pollution to the air and water, and acid rain are a few of the existing dangers to the environment.

Air pollution is considered as the most prolific form of pollution. The main source is burning of fuel which is important for our daily needs such as cooking, driving and industrial activities. Sulphur dioxide, which is very toxic, is produced due to coal burning in chimneys, factories, vehicles or burning of wood. This results in other harmful phenomenon such as global warming, acid rain and hence results in have increased temperatures, erratic rains and droughts
