Mexico has a very high air pollution which is very costly referring to the World Bank they say that each year air pollution is estimated to 500,000 to 1 million premature deaths worldwide and costs equivalent to around 2% of the GDP. Worldbank This is a very big issue as people could get sick easily and die earlier than they should.
In the 1940's California was supporting a population of seven million people and contained 2.8 million registered vehicles. Within the next twenty years the population more than doubled to reach 16 million while the number of registered vehicles all but tripled increasing to eight million. This has been a common trend in California's documented history from the early twentieth century to today. There have been many historical and environmental factors that have assisted in contributing to increases such as these in California. One such factor was World War II, from the late 1930's to 1945, which triggered a boom in the population of California and the beginning of the urban sprawl. Increases in
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.
My father use to own a little house in a state of Mexico called Cuautla, Morelos is almost 72.2km. (1 hr. and 40 minutes) from Mexico City. In 1998, my family went to Mexico City for vacations and we visited my father's home, and we must get up early to clearly see the smoke from far away, and when wash clothes, we can't them dry out because there, we
In the Article Maquiladoras, Air pollution, and Human Health in Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, several types of test were done in order to test the level of pollutants that contributed to this cause. The first example used is that they used a publicly available sector-level emissions inventory for Ciudad Juarez to establish the hierarchies of industrial facilities maquiladoras was incorporated into that study a source of air pollution. Another example was original plant level data from two sample maquiladoras to better understand the level the air pollution on human health. Computational models were used in order to be able to estimate the amount of health damage in comparison to air pollution from the plants. The damages were compared with non-maquiladora industrial polluters, regression was used to determine if the people with lower income suffered from the pollutants results.
Yes, I agree with your post. I just would like to comment regarding the air pollution. The pollution in the air causes quite a few problems in the nineteenth century such as: the trees started to dye, the smoke irritated the nose and they was prone to other diseases. “The poor immigrants and blacks who lived and worked in crowed inner cities were especially prone to diphtheria and pneumonia” (Merchant, 120). The air pollution was mainly in the towns where there was coal burning
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
Cars consist of being the number one way of travel throughout the United States. We rely on them to transport us to work, activities and necessary destinations. With this constant use of vehicles, it has had a negative impact on the environment. Although cars were invented almost a century ago to make life easier with getting around, car pollution has been our number one source of air pollution and has significantly impacted our environment due to how accessible they are. Arising problems such as air pollution, global warming, and health issues of americans, we have to come to the understanding that our environment is at risk if the amount of car pollution continues to increase.
Arizona is on the rise as one of the fastest metropolitan areas in the United States of America. In fact, in 2015 Forbes Magazine ranks Phoenix, Arizona as the 11th fastest growing city in the U.S.1 This growth is due the unprecedented resources and growing opportunities in the state of Arizona. With all of these opportunities come more production, which means more emissions from various industries and cars, more fossil fuels burned, and household and farming chemicals added to the sky. All of these are examples of pollution; which is one the sacrifices that comes with being a large city that is emerging. Pollution is defined as the action or process of making land, water, air, etc., dirty and not safe or suitable to use.2 We understand that Phoenix is a rapidly growing city, but they should be able to grow without being a detriment to the environment and health of their citizens. The purpose of my report is to examine the problem of air pollution in Phoenix, Arizona and look at solutions to fix this problem.
In Mexico the majority of the population is exposed daily to fames produced by 3.6 million vehicles. The worst time of air pollution in Mexico is near the end if
The many inhabitants of Mexico must inhale toxic chemicals in their lungs because of the maquiladora program imprint that has been left on the
Air pollution can cause many changes to the environment in Mexico. Anything people do involving combustion(burning ), using household or industrial chemicals, or producing
Most times, when Californians drive through the freeways around Downtown Los Angeles, instead of seeing the clear blue sky, dark gray masses of CO2 emissions fill the air. From the time of the Industrial Revolution till now, the levels of pollution in the world, including California has been dramatically rising. Air pollution results in alarming consequences to both the environment and the people. Professors Bradley Bereitschaft and Keith Debbage explored relationships of air pollution and its effects in U.S Metropolitan areas. Their studies have shown that emissions of air pollutants, such as CO2, affect human health and are responsible for over one million premature deaths. They also talk about greenhouse gasses, such as CO2 that are a major
Mexico is a country located in South America. It has sprawling urban cities and quiet rural areas. Mexico is a country of diverse populations. This is seen in its culture, government, and history. Mexico gained its independence from Spanish rule in 1821 following the victory against the Spanish forces that were in Mexico. Mexico has a government that is similar to the United States. Mexico is a federal republic that has executive, judicial, and legislative branches (World Book Online).
As of mid year of 2016 Mexico City is ranked 17th in pollution index in the world as reported by numbeo. The pollution found in Mexico City is largely tropospheric pollutants which is mainly caused by industry, transportation, and many other man made pollutants. These pollutants have a largely negative impact on many aspects of the world. Not only is this pollution bad for the environment, and contributes to the global warming issue, but it has negative impacts on the people living in Mexico City. One of the reasons pollution in Mexico City is as bad as it is today is its geographical positioning relative to the surrounding mountains. Mexico City is largely surrounded by them. This terrain
One of the most important problems that Madrid is facing is the air pollution due to emissions from the conventional vehicles and other sources. There are some protocols that are applied in case it is reached the maximum limit of CO2 and NOx concentration. However, that is not enough because it does not stop the contamination. In order to solve the problem, it is needed an economic and energy restructuration of the city. Some of the ideal characteristics for a city of the future are going to be described as follows.
