Ozone

Ⅰ. Introduction: History Of Pollution Pollution was first introduced in October 1948, Donora, PA; was enveloped in a lethal haze. Lethal is harmful and is sufficient to cause death. During this people experienced severe respiratory problems. It was difficult for them to breath. The death rose nearly to 40. But this wasn’t a surprise since Donora was no outsider to pollution. Since pollution has long plagued Donora with dirty air. Ⅱ. Air Pollution Pollution is created by pollutants

Earthly effects of the ozone layer are discussed in Fixing the Sky. Also in Fixing the Sky, Schiermeier talks about how the flow of air is dramatically affected by the ozone layer. Schiermeier focuses on the temperatures around the world, while Hirth in The Optimal Share of Variable Renewables focuses on how costly it is to reach the goal of usage

will likely diminish as a result. However, cutting carbon emissions and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of the Earth could improve air quality, and as a result, improving pulmonary conditions of million. There is a hole in the layer of O3, or ozone, above Antarctica estimated at 3 times the size of the United States of America,

Currently carbon dioxide is responsible for 57% of the global warming trend. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s): CFC’s are lowering the average concentration of ozone in the stratosphere. “Since 1978 the use of CFC’s in aerosol cans has been banned in the United States, Canada and most Scandinavian countries. Aerosols are still used around the world and accounts for 25% of global CFC’s use”. (Miller 448). Spray

atmosphere which comes from the burning of biomass and fossil fuels. The industrial activities produced 30 to 50 million tons per year. They cause the formation of both acid precipitation and photochemical smog (ozone), and causes nitrogen loading which can reduce the stratospheric ozone. Another type of nitrogen oxide is nitrous oxide (N2O). N2O comes from nitrogen based fertilizers, deforestation, and biomass burning. The human inputs 6 million tons of N2O per year. It can cause the greenhouse

are different kinds of air pollution and all of it has effects on one’s health. Air pollution is caused by many different types of things such as our cars and coal burning plants but it can also be caused by natural causes such as a wildfires. The ozone unfortunately catches the most air pollution and this is due to our car emissions chemically reacting with the sunlight. This bad for the population because this type of pollution gathers close to ground and is considered to get worse in the summer

include Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, tropospheric ozone. Tropospheric ozone pollution is one of the human activities that have contributed to the changes in climate. These pollutants come from the smog emitted from motor vehicles, industries, and windshield fluid. When these pollutants react with Nitrogen Oxides or Carbon Monoxide in the presence of sun light, they form the tropospheric ozone. This tropospheric ozone is an air borne pollutant to plant life as it decreases plants

oxygen to the root of the plant.“Ozone improves the respiratory process [of the plant] at the cellular level,”(Oz-air.). Further ozone makes a plant, “free of virus, bacteria, fungi ... and other microorganisms,” (Oz-air.) Essentially, ozone “promotes fast and steady

Earth have an expiration date? It just might. If we don 't do something to help our environment there will be no future generations. Our earth has been sending us warnings and distress signals for over forty years such as the collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery which left thirty thousand people unemployed and seven hundred communities in poverty. In china water supplies are already scarce and not able to meet the needs of people, industries, and culture (Linden, pg.18). The following

pollution is a contamination of both the indoor/outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that alters our natural environment; some of the most concerning pollutants of public health include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. As a result, there are numerous findings that show that air pollution is a very critical environmental health that has caused many health problems among
