Environmental pollution can simply be defined as “the presence in the environment of an agent which is potentially damaging to either the environment or human health (Briggs, 2003, 2).” There are many different types of pollution, such as air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution. Environmental pollution needs
biggest problems that the world faces today is environmental pollution. The increasing demand for goods and resource consumption are destroying this world. The environment is deteriorating fast along with its ability to support life for future generations. Therefore, who is responsible for the deterioration of the world? Industrialized nations who contribute tons of toxic waste per day or individuals who are not aware of their impact on the environment. According to Derrick Jensen in his essay,
Nowadays environmental pollution is one of the hottest topics in society. Ned Haluzan concludes,“The most appropriate definition of environmental pollution would be the introduction of different harmful pollutants into certain environment that makes this environment unhealthy to live in.”(1) In other words, the natural environment has been destroyed by human activities, and thus harmful to the phenomenon of humans and other organisms for survival and development. With continued increase in population,and
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
California has seen a resurgence of environmental justice activism in the past few years. Due to the increased activism, the state has taken many steps to lead the country in fighting climate change and reducing the ever-increasing amount of environmental pollution on the environment by implementing various climate change policies. One of the state’s most recent efforts to promote environmental justice was through the signing of Senate Bill 1000 - Planning for Healthy Communities Act. This bill requires
Whether individuals choose to believe in it or not, environmental destruction is a very real and apparent social problem that needs to be addressed before it is too late to save the Earth. Numerous factors such as the climate change, disposal of waste, deforestation, and the quality of air and water impact the destruction of our world. The majority of the blame for our Earth’s deterioration falls on the human race, however, some of the blame does fall on industries, that for example may improperly
Environmental pollution is one of the biggest problems the world faces today. Pollution troubles humans economically, physically, and everyday of our lives.

This fact shows that increasing environmental pollution needs to be taken care of a soon as possible, not only for the good of the environment, but also for the people that live in it. “Although environmental pollution
stress. 2. Environmental pollution harm has two main aspects: 1. Heat island effect from the perspective of the geographical circulation of heat, because the night lighting caused unnecessary energy loss (including generating heat loss and lighting loss), is bound to increase electric effect throughout the city, thereby exacerbating urban heat island effect. ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT Introduction. In this area, we will discuss about energy savings, land savings, water savings and environment protection
As the worlds population rises, the earths environmental condition continues to worsen because of our wasteful careless ways. The waste that we produce can be very harmful to the environment because it degrades water quality, soil quality, air quality, and affects human health in very negative ways as well. The impact that human pollution has caused and continues to cause on the earth is very sad to see. For example, big industries pollute the air, soil, and water. These industries are also guilty
