International action was taken in 1987 and the Montreal Protocol came into being. It was an international treaty to phase out

    Effect of Climate Change on Marine Mammals The earth is protected from the sun rays by a thick layer known as the ozone layer. The ozone layer act as a semi permeable membrane, by allowing some gasses to pass through while preventing others thereby keeping the earth’s temperature in a stable state. Global warming is the increase in earth’s temperature due to the depletion of the ozone layer. This depletion is having an adverse effect on the earth as a whole. The earth’s temperature is constantly

    2016). There are two main types of air pollution, particulate matter (PM) and ozone. Particulate matter is some tiny dust. For example, according to a beam of light at night there are countless dusts floating in the air. They are particle. Ozone is an invisible chemical gas in the air. When these gas touch with light will become smog. Factory and vehicles exhaust emissions have become the largest cause of PM and ozone pollution in the United States. If a plant wants to run, they need to burn fuel

    cheap enough to afford, would be something that is easily replenished, and something that would be safe to use. For example, burning coal (a nonrenewable source) is not good for the environment. We are suffering consequences such as more holes in the Ozone layer from using more than needed fossil fuels. Pollution is also a highly equal problem we are facing.

    American Lung Association's current "Condition of the Air 2017" report, which marked the state and locale a pioneer in air contamination, with the most astounding ozone levels. The yearly examination positions the cleanest and most dirtied ranges in the nation by reviewing districts in the U.S. in view of destructive recorded levels of ozone (brown haze) and molecule contamination. The 2017 report utilized information gathered from 2013 to 2015. The main three districts in the nation with the most

    hard to breathe. This puts many of us at risk for irritated eyes, noses, and lungs -- but it is particularly dangerous for people with respiratory diseases like asthma. As the climate changes, unhealthy air pollution will get worse. Here 's how: Ozone smog forms when pollution from vehicles, factories, and other sources reacts with sunlight and heat. Increasing temperatures speed this process and result in more smog. Added to the mix are ragweed and other allergens in the air -- which are expected

    space for humankind. The boundaries have certain thresholds which cannot be crossed or would cause undesirable environmental change. There are nine such boundaries which scientists have agreed which cannot be crossed: climate change; stratospheric ozone depletion; rate of biodiversity loss; intrusion of the nitrogen and phosphorus cycles; the use of freshwater; land use; the minimum pH of the ocean; chemical pollution and atmospheric aerosol loading. So far three of the boundaries have transgressed

    Emissions from coal fired power plants contribute to global warming, ozone smog, acid rain, regional haze, and perhaps most consequential of all from a public health standpoint, fine particle pollution. A specific study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania was looking at the effects of the pollution from coal-fired
