Seen from space‚ our atmosphere is but a tiny layer of gas around a huge bulky planet. But it is this gaseous outer ring and its misleadingly called greenhouse effect that makes life on Earth possible – and that could destroy life as we know it. The sun is the Earth’s primary energy source‚ a burning

In todays world‚ Everyone uses some form of transportation. Whether it be a luxury jet or a bicycle‚ These means of transportation out do anything the people in the past could have even dreamed of. Some of these ways of transportation are good and some are not so good. Generally‚ our new ways of transportation opened up so many opportunities in our lives that we are blinded by the bad things that come along with it. For the most part‚ our advanced ways of transportation are positive. Cars and buses

Significance of the Study: In our present time‚ the condition of the world we are living is getting worse‚ most especially our ozone layer‚ which is getting thinner. According to our research‚ one of the factors that cause ozone layer in continuing to be thinner is the chemicals and substances that are present in cleaning solutions. Cleaning solutions contains ammonium hydrogen bifluoride and hydrofluoric acid that are hazardous

Pollution Caused By Factories Factory related pollution is the number one source of pollution in the United States. Factory pollution accounts for more than half the volume of all water pollution‚ as well as for the most deadly of pollutants. More than 365‚000 manufacturing factories consume vast quantities of fresh water to carry away wastes of several different types. This waste water from industrial factories is discharged into lakes‚ oceans and streams‚ which eventually disperse the polluting

Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals‚ biological contaminants‚ suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is purified for human consumption (drinking water)‚ but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes‚ including meeting the requirements of medical‚ pharmacological‚ chemical and industrial applications. In general the methods used include physical processes such

Introduction:- Pollutants in the air threaten the lives of everything living on earth. They cause acid rain and smog‚ weaken the ozone layer‚ increase the chances of cancer and contribute to changing the climate of the world. Pollutants can be invisible and often we don’t even realize that we’re making them. Polluted air travels with the wind‚ affecting all of us‚ whether or not we are responsible for it. Smog aggravates heart and respiratory diseases. Acid rain erodes buildings‚ hurts

people‚ due to extremely poor visibility‚ lack of oxygen and particulate contaminated air. Scientific research into this anomaly found that this was due to a temperature inversion‚ which is when the ‘layers’ of air get out of order‚ and the coldest air settles on the bottom‚ underneath other layers of warmer air. (Cunningham). This cold air traps pollutants in and forces them to stay in one place‚ rather than dissolving out into the atmosphere.

number of health concerns both short-term and long-term issues. These health problems can be caused by both indoor and outdoor pollutants in an urban setting. Such as‚ secondhand smoke‚ mold‚ and nitrogen dioxide to name a few indoor pollutants and ozone‚ sulfur dioxide‚ particulate matter‚ carbon monoxide‚ and lead as outdoor pollutants. All these can cause a number of significant issues. Some short term effects are irritation to eyes‚ nose and throat‚ upper respiratory infections (bronchitis and

Air pollution Air pollution affects everything from agriculture and ecosystems to human health‚ on a global scale. The five major air pollutants are ground-level ozone‚ particulate matter‚ carbon monoxide‚ sulfur dioxide‚ and nitrogen dioxide (Donnatelle‚ 2010). A majority of these pollutants are the result of human action. One example being coal power plants. These plants release greenhouse gas emissions and particle
