The Effects Of Pollution On Our Planet

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.

Pollution has always been an issue within our society. Derrick Jenson and Stephanie McMillan as well as Michael Pollan have all written articles about the issues in our environment and the effects of pollution. We are causing an increasing amount of pollution as time goes on. Virtually everything we do causes some form of damage to the environment and it seems that regardless of how much we want to fix this issue we are making no progress towards a solution. Based on their articles “As The World Burns” and Pollans article “Why Bother” these authors have similar views and yet contrast on many points.

Pollution can cause changes in the planet’s energy balance, such as changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere, variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface. The changes have changed the climate many times which have an effect on humans also. (NRC EPA. 2010) Our planet can is good at reusing waste but humans are producing more than what the Earth can handle. Pollution happened at different stages and it has an impact on all living things including species and humans. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species.

More than half of the human population knows what pollution is but we are still not ready to face it's damaging consequences. Pollution occurs when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes that affect our normal lifestyles adversely. Pollution comes in many forms and no matter where you live, you've probably seen some form of it. Some litter of NYC city streets to the smog that lingers ov0er LA to the plastic trash that floats in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the visible signs of pollution are more than evident. The main reason for a why pollution has gotten too out of control is that our desire for more “stuff” has led to our old stuff being thrown away at an alarming and unnecessary rate. As humans we have impacted the environment in so many different ways. The 3 main pollutants i will be talking to you about is water, air, and soil pollutions since these are the three main ones that are affecting not only us as humans but our planet that we live on.. These three main pollutants have affected the environment in many different ways such as climate change and even habitat destruction towards our planet and is in need to be taking some Extreme Measures and actions in order to decrease the pollution to our home.

Although thought to be “not a big problem” and “under control” by most people, pollution is making its way in being a serious and an unforgiving threat to society. Pollution a topic everyone hears and knows exists. What they don’t know is how serious of a problem it is already becoming. Many health issues are being reported now that are linked to air pollution and even the most severe weather places have encountered are linked to air pollution also. By society, not fully being aware of the true threat that pollution is making, it will only become a growing threat that they will be encountering.

Air pollution are impacting the environment, and it is imperative that laws are enforced to help build and sustain a better air quality. Air pollutants can be in the form of particulate matter which can be very harmful to our health. Stimulation to our eyes, nose, throat, and breathing infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia are all short-term effects. You’re head might hurt, you might want to puke, and you might have allergic reactions. Short-term air pollution can put people with asthma and emphysema in a worse condition. Long lasting breathing disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to your brains, nerves, livers, or kidneys are all long-term effects. If you’re exposed to air pollution continuously, it would affect children’s lungs and may complicate medical conditions for the elders. Some people argue and deny the bad air problem. They claim that pollution may actually be good for the Earth. The hazy weather caused by pollution has made plants far more productive when it comes to scrubbing greenhouse gasses out of the air. Pollution has turned plants into better carbon dioxide processing machines. But this is bad for our own health. Pollution is causing global warming which leads to massive ice land melting. Polar bears and other animals that live there are losing there habitats and even dying. Melting ice could also lead to more sea water which would bury some cities or land near the coastal areas. There is already a tremendous amount of people on this planet. If our land decreases, and our population continues to increase, some people would have to start living on another planet; therefore, making it a priority to address the areas

Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat.

In today’s society, environmental problems are a big problem that plague our world. These detrimental changes are creating astonishing problems for every living organism. Global warming is not a myth. Glaciers are rapidly melting, ecosystems are being destroyed, trees are being cut down for profit, and the globe is warming up and changing our normal climate. Everyone is a contributor to these changes, whether it is a big contribution or a small one. Big businesses and governments all around the world are contributing to the increase in pollution. Factories release chemical waste into our air, and oceans which over time causes holes in our ozone layer. This is not a small easily reversible problem. Chemical air pollution causes problems to not only our environment, but to all the species living on this earth.

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.

Pollution is a big issue in our generation, the reason is that many countries all around the world do not have appropriate laws to regulate pollution. Also, there are three major effects of pollution produced on people, the environment, and wildlife. First, there are problems in people’s health. Pollution can cause problems to our health, and damage our body. For example, people who are constantly exposed to Co2 emissions will have a lot of respiratory problems. Our lungs are really delicate, anything that is not supposed to be in our lung is a danger to them and may cause some serious damage. Also, pollution can cause problems during pregnancy because if pregnant women are exposed to this kind of environment, their baby might have complication

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.

Your day has been great so far. You went on vacation, you found a dollar bill on the floor, you ate your favorite dish, nothing can be better than this. As soon as you walk on the boardwalk you are hoping to see big waves and fish in the sea, instead, you see dead fish and some animals floating in the water next to old car tires, trash, and fertilizer. Now you feel terrible and want to go home. Pollution is devastating. The reason why I researched this topic is that I do not want my family nor my planet to get sick. Pollution can be stopped very easily, it’s just that people “don’t know” how to stop or they just don’t care, which is a serious problem. I want people to see that pollution is mainly caused by humans, and also for them to see that it is a horrible thing that is happening. Some kids litter because they see their parents and their whole family doing it. When I was researching this topic, I noticed that I needed to find out more information, so I asked questions to myself. When did pollution get so bad? How many animals have gone extinct because of pollution? How many people die each year because of pollution? How much does everyone on the planet pollute each year? What is the best way to stop pollution? Can just one person make a difference? After a lot of research, I found out lots of ways that we can stop pollution, so it is possible to end it. Or at least improve the air.

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.

All living things depend on one another to thrive and obtain the basic needs to survive the cycle of life. While all of them are unique in their own impactful way, but we all share one thing no matter the size or species. Our home, our surroundings, or our environment, however you may call it, we either live in or on it. Our environment is the origin and has been the host to us all for thousands of years, and the least we could do is make an effort to sustain and nurture it like it’s done for us. While animals do produce some sort of pollution with their bodies; we produce over 97 to 98 % of the pollution of the world, and we’re also responsible for thousands of species extinctions. We dominate as a species on poisoning the world. The future of our generation and future generations will be impacted by what we do now, and our arrogance could have a sever price in the long run. The real question is that even if we stopped right now could we even make that big of an impact? Also looking at the opposite standpoint where we could speculate if the whole thing is just misunderstood data and beliefs.
