Air pollution

Air is an indispensable part of human, animal and plant lives. Without it, no organisms would be able to survive on Earth (Reference, 2017). Due to excessive human activities, air pollution has become a detrimental worldwide issue in current days (Sciencing, 2017). However, scientists have found new chemicals that can assist in improving the air quality (Phys.org, 2017). Moreover, humans are able to adopt many methods to help decrease the severity of contamination released into the earth’s atmosphere

Air pollution is now recognized as the world’s single largest environmental and human health threat. In 2014, the World Health Organization estimated that 7 million people worldwide die annually as a result of air pollution, and estimates that 92% of the world’s population lives in places where air quality levels exceed safe limits., A new groundbreaking study published on October 19, 2017 in the Lancet Journal of Medicine has now linked air pollution as a cause of 9 million deaths globally. While

Air and water pollution are two of the biggest problems the environment faces today. It is one of the leading causes of death. Air and water pollution has been affecting the environment for several years causing many diseases among people especially children. Air and water pollution not only affects the nation, but it is a worldwide problem. Specifically between Australia and Tanzania and examine the difference between early childhood growth in the two countries. And throughout the paper, I will

It’s the late 1950s and America is suffering from the high amounts of smog from motor vehicles exhaust system. Roughly half of the American people live in locations that do not meet federal air quality standards. Automobiles are the prime source of air pollution that depletes the ozone layer and creates smog-forming emissions. The number of automobiles in the U.S. has increased from 74 million in 1960 to 250 million in 2010. As reported by the United States Department of Transportation, the amount

tremendous economic growth. As a result, large numbers of cities are suffering from air pollution. Almost two-thirds of cities in china have not met the ambient air quality standard which is applied to urban residential areas. According to Hao& Wang (2005), it is particulate matters(PM) rather than SO2 that is the major pollution which reflecting the pollution source is transformed from coal burning to several sources of pollution Now the government should take steps to change extensive development to sustainable

Humans, animals, and plants need air to survive, but how can they survive if the air that they breathe is polluted? Every cell in your body needs oxygen in order to live. The air that everyone breathes contains oxygen and other gases. Hazardous chemicals escape into the environment to pollute the air from numerous human activities. The ever growing combustion of fossil fuels in the last century is responsible for the biggest progressive change in the atmosphere. Despite the other numerous environmental

Choking To Death: China’s Air Pollution Conundrum Long gone are the days when China is mostly rural with a population consisting of farmers. In the late 1970s, Deng Xiaoping loosened the controls on economic life, and began a period known as “reform and opening.” China has not looked back, and industries continue to develop and millions of people migrate to cities to work in one of the many factories. China is experiencing record-breaking economic expansion. They are one of the world’s largest manufacturers

Air Pollution. Air pollution in Brazil remains a threat to the environment. In 2016, the air in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was one of the most polluted of any city that has held the Olympic Games. Rio de Janeiro air has consistently had two to three times greater the number of particulate matter than deemed safe by the World Health Organization. While the global community critiqued the poor air quality, the Brazilian government played down the poor results stating that there were many different factors

But now, it is. Currently, almost every adult around me is talking about air pollution issue. Filtering face masks and air purifiers which can be placed in homes are two popular goods. Although everyone understands that this issue is very serious, it seems that no one can explain it clearly in details. Since the influence of climate change in China is a fairly wide range of topic, I choose to mainly discuss air pollution as a result of it closely relating to the quality of people’s daily life which

We used to think that air we breathe is oxygen, and that is 21% true; 78% is Nitrogen and the remaining 1% is a compound of Helium, Hydrogen, Argon, Neon, Krypton and Carbon dioxide (CO2). All this mix is call atmosphere and those percentages were taken in 1987. Today thirty years later the production of CO2 and Ozone as result of burned fossil combustibles and other gases produced through natural sources and human activities, including the decomposition of wastes in landfills, and agriculture, is
