especially vulnerable to unhealthy levels of air pollution. There are many kinds of air pollution. The ones I want to talk about are the ozone‚ acid rain‚ carbon monoxide and toxic air contaminants. Ozone is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide react in sunlight. Therefore‚ ozone is at its peak during hot summer days. Exposure to high levels of ozone can have serious consequences on your health. It can cause respiratory disease‚ loss of pulmonary elasticity‚ and premature aging of our

buildings in its place making it impossible for anything to grow there. Those trees were a crucial part to the ecosystem and environment‚ which are now changed forever. We also drive cars‚ which emit exhaust‚ which in turn hurts our ozone layer and heats up the Earth. Once the ozone layer is damaged the ice caps melt a little and now the entire environment is changed‚ all thanks to man. Not to mention that biomes are changed as well due to global warming; the ice caps melt a little and the world gets hotter

particles from coal combustion and‚ in more recent decades‚ motor vehicles have produced severe loss of air quality and significant health effects. 6. Finally‚ emissions of carbon dioxide and other radiatively active gases‚ together with stratospheric ozone depletion‚ represent planet-scale assaults on the quality of our atmospheric environment. 7. In the Western world‚ stringent environmental legislations have been able to overcome the ‘conventional’ air pollution problems of foul and sooty skylines

What causes a volcanic eruption? When a part of the earth’s upper mantle or lower crust melts‚ magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption‚ three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma‚ the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. What follows is a brief description

The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems. Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world’s worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World’s

Ecologically‚ Economically & Globally Automobiles have transformed our planet. There are positive and negative outcomes in all new technological innovations‚ new to the world products‚ and within product line extensions. Automobiles have a severe impact on society’s daily needs of transportation‚ their profit margin capabilities for corporations‚ and seemingly cover our globe. Considering these standards‚ innovators tend to shy away from implementing modernism of transportation. There are simple
