There are many different types of pollution that affect our environment and our health each and every day while creating atmospheric issues.
Air Pollutants
Lets start with “Air Pollution” which is created by both human and natural resources including but not limited to CO, SO2, most hydrocarbons, most particulates, CO2, NO, NO2, HNO2, HNO3, H2O2, SO3, H2SO4. Air pollution is a big atmospheric issue that continues to become a greater concern, especially when it comes to the health of living things including humans, animals and plants on our earth.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) can derive from vehicles, factories, furnaces, and etc. Carbon monoxide is poisonous …show more content…
Ocean waters may suffer from “byecatch”, which is when dolphins, turtles, and other sea or ocean creatures are unintentionally killed by fisherman. Then there is what they call “habitat destruction”, which occurs when trawl catching nets that are dragged along the Ocean floor to catch fish destroy the habitats taking everything with it or pulling it from the Ocean floor and to drop it in another location when it is released from the net. The pollutants that are released into the ocean water ultimately effects our fish and the quality of our produce that we feed off of as well as slowing the rate in which sea and/or ocean animals may …show more content…
