Kate Galbraith, A journalist, released an article covering the condition and to what extent africa's pollution is currently at. The article was released by The New York Times on April 2014. It starts off by telling us how an air quality scientist was testing the air. The machine that was created in Arizona was man to calculate the amount of pollution in the air.While testing the air in Ouagadougou the machine clogged and was sent back to the United States of America for repair. Galbraith continued on how things such as vehicle exhaust, dusty roads to even cooking with woods, also known as inside pollution, all contribute to the worrisome problem altogether. Health was now becoming a problem as dirty air can cause heart disease, stroke, and cancer and was third highest level of deaths per capita from indoor air pollution of any region of the world said Galbraith. Ms.Linden, until 2007 did research on Burkina Faso, said that one of the major outdoor sources of air pollution was Industrial Activities when the population in Ouagadougou swell by 50%. In this Article things such as the machine to calculate air pollution malfunctioned while on trial in an african country. Kate also included how industrial activities played a big part in outdoor pollution sources. Galbraith kept a very informative tone throughout the article as she explained the situations and how it was being measured. I believe that Galbraith was great in giving detail and going into depth in how the problem was
The pollution use to even cause black lung and other breathing disorders also to make things worse there were no trees around they have been cut down to make houses and factories. Human feces sat in the streets out in the open no sewer and when it rained it ran off into the nearby river or lake. Environmental problems we’re taking a big role in health 5% of 7,000 sickening people died from pollution. Health is a big part in life without modern medicines and technology people couldn’t recover from these problems the often died after their
In the 1500’s in Europe there is starting to become rifts in the all mighty Roman Catholic Church. King Henry VIII just wants to divorce his wife, and Martin Luther is fuming mad about indulgances and the lies that the church is telling to the people. How will this affect the Pope, and the people in England, read on to learn more about this interesting time.
In the article, “Sahara dust only ‘partly responsible’ for UK’s worst pollution event in 10 years” by John Vidal, reveals the issues that are being caused by major pollution. The United Kingdom has experienced high levels of pollutions because of the strong winds coming from the Sahara Desert. Even though the pollution has had a major effect on the world it was not only the Saharan dust, but other effects as well. An event that began the commotion of the pollution issue occurred for two weeks in March and April of 2014; the particulate matter was raised extremely so where it was dangerous for people to leave their homes. This damaging incident interfered with people’s lives; it was not a quick disruption that was over and done. The citizens of Europe who were primarily affected are those who live in southern United Kingdom and France. This issue may be mainly situated in the United Kingdom, but that does not mean there are concerns in other countries as well.
Everyone today contributes to pollution in some way or another. Daily routines such as driving to work or cooking release hazardous gases and numerous other toxins in the air. The same toxins released can cause harm to the lungs or even kill due to the carcinogens. Not only does the polluted air harm people but the effect to the planet is vast as well. Issues such as global warming, acid rain, and droughts are evidently linked to polluted air. Though pollution is not solely based in the air, many other forms exist as well like water, radioactive, and thermal/heat pollution. Yet the sad reality is, many people are exposed to it far more than others because of their ethnic backgrounds or for poverty based reasons. Communities with lower income
This article indicates how epideictic rhetoric and demonstration may be correlative in a general-interest newspaper framed as onefold address produced by a corporate author. The validity of the approach is dual. In the terms of trope, to detect the flexibility epidemic rhetoric to journalistic discourse; and in the field of journalism studies, the target is to absorb the theory of epideictic rhetoric so that improve the conceptualized of the property of controversy in the newspaper. At the stage of genre, invention and reality find their respective equivalents in the story and the newspaper. Fiction as genre meets its
Air Pollution today has lead CDC's fight against environmental -related respiratory illness, including asthma.An estimated number of 6.5 million deaths are attributed each year to poor air quality, making this the world's largest threat to human health.According to the World Energy Outlook and the IEA estimate that death due to household air pollution in Africa may decrease by 110,00 to 2040.However, due to economic growth, urbanization and automobile emissions, outdoor air pollution may rise from 300,00 to 450,000 over the same period. Am going to be looking at the causes of air pollution. the problems emerging with air pollution and also how we as a community can help decrease the amount of death rate associated with air pollution.I remember growing up in Africa Air pollution was always a talk about a subject that always comes out because it is really contagious due to the fact that we are breathing bad air that is caused by our human contribution to the environment.Air pollution is considered to be a public health problem, it is responsible for most of our health problems after some research has been conducted in many different parts of the world and regions. According to the Geochemistry and Health paleopathological research suggests that air pollution is a form of smoke, plagued our oldest ancestors.Air pollution has emerged as one of the leading risk factors for stroke worldwide.
The author begins the article by discussing the death percentage related to air pollution and what causes the elevated levels of air pollution. Huth continues the article by pointing out that different areas have different problems related to air pollution. Finally, Huth draws attention to the fact that different countries have different solutions to the air pollution. Though this piece was written for the entire United States, the fact that air pollution can be deadly to humans is universally applicable. Though Huth is a reporter and not an environmental scientist, Huth does cite reports made by credible institutions. Though this article talks only about how air pollution is deadly and does not expand the idea to talk about other health complications, the fact that air pollution is dangerous to human health does support my claim that a reduction in air pollution will lead to a better quality of
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.
Another big problem in polluting places and things is air pollution which can make air foggy, unbreathable, and toxic. According to “34 Facts about Pollution”, the text states breathing the air in Mumbai, India, for just one day is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes. One of the things that can cause air pollution is releasing factory fuels and fossil fuels into the air. We also cause it from burning certain things like plastic, chemicals, and other
Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia, is so congested due to its size coupled with an enormous influx of people from the neighboring country, based on that, the correlation between the environment and living in another city’s is very different from that of Monrovia. This has resulted in an ongoing struggle to protect air quality, Liberia as a third world country has not embodied strategic environmental regulation policies to curb the increasing rate of air pollution. Outdoor air pollution has exposed the people of Liberia to a serious environmental and public health deficiencies i.e. respiratory disorders, cancers, etc.
There have been different diseases caused by air pollution from lung cancer to breathing problems such as asthma and in worse cases death. Pollution is caused from dangerous chemical experiments, smoke from factories and daily human activities. Two of the many ways to eliminate air pollution is by recycling things like paper, plastic, cardboards, cans. This saves energy and the production emission is reduced. Also by informing people on ways they can individually help their communities by doing simple acts such as turning off electrical appliances when not in use. It's our responsibility to take care of mother
Throughout history, Europe has been more advanced and developed than much of world Europeans took many voyages to spread their knowledge and gain power in the world. They began to colonize in almost every part of the world, beginning with the Americas. They eventually lost most of their control there and moved on. It soon became all of the west that was colonized in the east, which lead to imperialism. Similar to many other events in history, colonization and imperialism are very polarizing. There were two opposite sides and, like much of history, one side wasn’t really considered. The people who lived in the countries being colonized didn’t ask the westerners to take control of their country. The native people were mostly opposed to imperialism,

One of the world’s worst problems is air pollution. The focus of my research is on the causes of air pollution in North Carolina. Air pollution is when pollutants get into the air and turn it dark and toxic. Some examples of air pollutants are carbon dioxide, car fumes, smokestacks, and factory fumes. Air pollution is a serious problem that we can fix.
Climate change has become a major concern for environmentalists, and society alike, during the past few decades. Climate change is the disturbance of the natural fluctuation pattern of the weather caused by humans. One significant component of climate change is pollution. Pollution occurs when contaminants are introduced to the natural environment, causing unfavorable effects to the environment. Three major types of pollution are air, water, and light pollution.
