The Effects Of Air And Man Made Pollution On Our Environment

Air and air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Air and air pollution can cause from car emission, chemical, dust, air planes, and pollen. What cause the air to be bad pollution is factories machines and energy that everyone is using. Air can be fresh and bad air depend on the work that we do. The solution that cause and effect the air to be bad is that the gases of the car, planes, chemical gases, and factories makes the air to be bad because the person that is doing it might did something wrong. Some air can different and smell different. It could be poison or cause

Over the past few years, air pollution has been one of the major problems encountered in the California central valley. The Central Valley, also called as the Great Valley of California, is comprised of approximately about 20, 000 square miles. It is consisted of two parts, the northern portion is called the Sacramento Valley and the southern portion is called the San Joaquin Valley (U.S.). There are several factors that could have contributed to the amount of air pollution in the air, some of which humans have the ability to prevent and mitigate. Many of the activities that we do in our daily lives could result to the development of air pollution without us even knowing it. In this paper, we will discuss what air pollution is and gain a better understanding of what air pollution is, determine its causes, economic, social, and health impacts, and create solutions that would address the problem of air pollution in the California central valley.

Having over 121,000 kilometers of rail lines throughout China and 228,218 kilometers throughout the United States transcontinental travel throughout the countries has become immensely accessible. The use of such transports has subsequently resulted in an emittance of pollutants such as nitrous oxide, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide. The increase of the anthropocentric activity dictates the positive feed back loop of the total emissions of criteria pollutants.

Air pollution is a major cause of disease and death in large cities, which can be prevented. Despite improvements to enhance air quality through the years, the San Joaquin Valley does not meet the requirements of federal and state health ozone levels and particulate pollutants. Ozone is particularly a problem during the summer because high temperatures "cook" chemicals with sunlight to produce smog. Particles, meanwhile, represent a problem during the fall and winter season, when the increase in vehicle emissions and investing layers prevent the spread of these contaminants. Contaminant particles with a size of 10 microns or less (PM10) are a mixture of soot, chemicals, dust, salt, dirt, metals, smoke and toxins. PM10 are very small, about one-seventh the width of a human hair. Although they are micro size, they are dangerous as they can penetrate the body's natural defenses and concentrate on the depth of the lungs. Exposure to high concentrations of these particles can cause heart attacks, increase the risk of lung cancer, worsening conditions such as asthma and bronchitis, and reduce the function of the lungs. PM10 also include the group of particles known as PM2.5 refined. The sources of air pollution and related poor health are in transportation, power generation, home, for example, and vary between cities and regions. Effective interventions can reduce air pollution related diseases and produce health benefits, example, sustainable transport, energy-efficient buildings

Air pollution is the largest killer in the developing world, taking the lives of over 7 million people annually. While air pollution does take place in America daily, we are not exposed to the high levels of PM 2.5, PM10, and other pollutants that developing countries are. It is very much real, and a global challenge that affects us, as a world as whole, causing global warming, and emission of greenhouse gases. In America we have air regulations in effect, along with other developed countries like Canada, and France, in an attempt to regulate the amount of air pollution released in the air. While we are not a perfect nation, or the most Earth friendly country, we, the population, do not consider the long term effects of air pollution. Many people living in developing countries are basically forced to live in these harsh conditions because of how poor they and their country are; the lack of enforcement on air regulations contributes strongly to the problem. This results in smog filled cities, poor living conditions, millions of premature deaths, and many affected by the heavy amount of air pollution that is shamelessly forced into the air.

We are getting rid of materials that the world would benefit from. Cutting down trees that produce an enormous amount of oxygen for the people can damage the lives of many. “Air pollution is a grave environmental reality affecting many people across the world and affecting their health and the overall quality of life” (Class notes, Lecture 6).There are certain that we should be protecting, but many do not see a reason to do so, we look at the many products that can come from it not the quality of life.

Air pollution has become exponentially more prominent in the last century alone than across the entirety of human existence. The obvious reason for this is the large increase in man-made emissions that came about after the industrial revolution. Now, transportation is as easy as ever but it’s by and large the largest producer of emissions the world over to the point where it will have a lasting effect long after we’ve adopted alternative solutions towards making the air cleaner.

Historically (pre-1892), the agrarian landscape was conducive to clean air; a time void of pollutants; however, with the advent of the industrial revolution, air quality was forever changed. Interestingly, two of today’s leading contributors of emissions are the result of two significant man-made events dating back to 1892 and 1893, which first began polluting the air. First came the emergence of factories with their emission billowing smokestacks (Davis & Henderson, 2011), which was followed by the first gasoline-powered automobile housing an internal combustion engine in 1983 (The Library of Congress, 2017). Although there’s shared knowledge about the importance of air quality and the health implications associated with air pollution, factories are still releasing toxic fumes and automobiles are releasing exhaust (Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry, 2013). Subsequently, that which was the catalyst that carried society into the modern era remains a public health threat 125 years later.

On certain days one may notice it seems to be a little harder to breath when you’re outside for a while. Or if one is outside for a while they start to cough and get a tickle in the back of their throat. Those are symptoms of a bad air pollution day. These are days when the air pollution could be higher because of certain circumstances. There are different kinds of air pollution and all of it has effects on one’s health.

Many of us don’t realize that the air we are breathing could slowly be prematurely ending our life. Air pollution in the city can affect the human health in many ways. Air pollution is when the air is contaminated by harmful substances. This is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, industrial processes and smoke. Air pollution is often found in poor inner city neighborhoods. With greater amounts of air pollution comes a greater possibility of multiple health risks. Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer and asthma are frequent health impacts that are caused from smog and air pollution. Some of these health impacts can lead to death. According to the World Health Organization, there are three million deaths worldwide due to air pollution. Air pollutants can be transferred from one country to another via the wind. Due to the wind being out of our control, this must be taken seriously in every city, state or country because it can slowly affect everyone around it. I am going to define smog and its impacts on New Dehli, how automobiles contribute to the air pollution and describe possible solutions to air pollution in the city.

Vehicles emissions and waste products currently have a significant impact on the health of the environment. In American vehicles have the largest impact upon air quality, producing approximately one-third of all America's air pollution (National Geographic, n.d). There are multiple waste products which are produced by vehicles including; smog, carbon monoxide, and other toxins which are emitted out of the tailpipe (National Geographic, n.d). Tailpipes as they are at street level, are extremely dangerous as humans are able to breathe in the polluted air directly into their lungs (National Geographic, n.d).

Scientists now suspect that a significant cause of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s could be the air we breathe. We have to get out of here, the air people breath is not cleaner, and we can see that at the sunset when the sky looks brown and all the health problems people have become a harsh consequence of industrial growth across the world. As defined by Chris Woodford, air pollution is a gas released in a big enough quantity that harms the health of people or other animals, kill plants or stop them growing correctly, and damage or disrupt different aspects of the environment. There are many effects of air pollution, and also there are many things that cause it, for example excessive use of chemicals and cars. People cannot live without fresh air, there is nothing better than breath clean air after a long day of work, but nowadays it is scarce the place where the air smells fresh. Air pollution is affecting all humans, and we cannot close our eyes to the problems because the sense that detects this issue is our smell. Unfortunately, people are not doing something to decrease the air pollution, on the contrary, almost everything people do diary affects the air quality, as Woodford explains in his article, “…burning things, using household or industrial chemicals, or producing large amounts of dust has the potential to cause air pollution.” People have to be aware of air pollution, its causes and effects, it is caused by overpopulation and can lead to health problems, but

Chemical compounds used in cleaning products and industrial production are being used every day. Some of these chemicals are naturally occurring but others are synthetic and can cause harm to the environment and human population, by being released into the atmosphere. The ever-changing atmosphere, especially in Pittsburgh, is filled with different compounds. Many of the compounds found in air are naturally occurring but some of these compounds such as Titanium tetrachloride, Vinyl Chloride, and Benzene are emitted from factories and some household items and cause health and environmental effects. Possible solutions to reduce and possibly eliminate exposure are then be explored.

Since the very first textile production line in the 1700s to Apple products being made overseas in  China, factories have plays a significant role in our world since the beginning and continues to do so. The Industrial Revolution was a stepping stone in Americas history and opened a door to new inventions to make lives easier. It began with the invention and application of machinery for production and peak in the production of machines made by machines. Factories have indeed made production efficient and increased the number of jobs. However, like all good things there is a negative side. Factories are a source of nonpoint pollution, meaning the pollution affects  a water body from sources such as polluted runoff from agricultural areas draining into a river, or wind-borne debris blowing out to sea. Non-point source air pollution affects air quality from smokestacks. Which is a problem because factories contribute to both water and air pollution harming our environment as it still continues to operate all over the world. So how do we know if factories are doing more harm than benefits for our environment?

How many times have you heard someone talk about pollution? Or even hear someone bring up the topic of pollution.What about global warming? That involves pollution. In fact that is caused because of pollution. Pollution is one of the biggest global killers, affecting over 100 million people. That is comparable to global diseases such as malaria and HIV (“11 Facts About Pollution” ). Most people do not understand the impact of pollution on themselves and the environment. Pollution can spread through soil, air, and water. Pollution is one of the biggest problems in everyday life. It affects all of the plants and animals.
