The first cause evident in history: indoor domestic fires.…

    According to Lester and Eugene’s research (1970), the relationship between air pollution and respiratory diseases is quite close. A few studies by Lester have shown that there is a qualitative link between air pollution and human health. First, the toxic gases emitted from burning fossil fuels should be the biggest pollution source that affects human health. People may become ill by breathing in fumes. In large cities, especially in industrialized ones, toxic gases were let out constantly into the air from transportation systems and factories. There are two convincing examples which have proved that people will became ill by breathing in the air with toxic fumes: in Donora, Pennsylvania, 6000 people got sick and 20 died in 1948; in1952 ten thousand people became ill and 4000 died in London (Seitz, 2008). It is generally known that human beings have burned so many fossil fuels. Therefore, many erosive elements are released into the air like sulfur, dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. As these toxic fumes mix with moisture and oxygen, the air is polluted. According to Lester and Eugene’s study (1970), when toxic gases cover an area for a week or more, the pollution forms substantially.…

    In 1306, concerns over air pollution were sufficient for Edward I to (briefly) ban coal fires in London.[10] In 1661, John Evelyn's Fumifugium suggested burning fragrant wood instead of mineral coal, which he believed would reduce coughing. The Ballad of Gresham College the same year describes how the smoke "does our lungs and spirits choke, Our hanging spoil, and rust our iron."…

    The weather in Greater London had been unusually cold for several weeks leading up to the event. Because of the cold weather, households were burning more coal than usual to keep warm. The smoke from approximately one million coal-fired stoves, in addition to the emissions from local industry, was released into the atmosphere. Increases in smoke and sulfur emissions from the combustion of coal had been occurring since the Industrial Revolution and the British were familiar with these types of smog events. At times, the smoke and emissions were so heavy that residents referred to the events as ‘pea soupers’ because the fog was as dense as pea soup. However, while the area had experienced heavy smog in the past, no event had caused such problems as the weather event in December, 1952.…

    1. Hakluyt’s arguments for colonization included agricultural use of the land, spread of their religion, easy to travel to (for trade), it would increase money in the economy because they would stop trade with other countries, they could increase their realm with their wealth that they earn from colonization of America, and they could defeat their enemies with their new found wealth. Some of the arguments are more persuasive the others after four hundred years. The amount of money they would earn from colonizing the New World is less persuasive because although it would increase their economy, England would not be wealthy enough to defeat multiple European countries.…

    Nearly all of the reasons for agrarian discontent in the late 19th century stem from three areas: land, transportation, and money. The farmers were fighting the perceived threats posed by monopolies and trusts, railroads, and the demonetization of silver. The American farmer during this period already had his fair share of problems which, compared to the success of the industrialized businessmen, resulted in much of the animosity between the two groups. The fact of the matter was farmers had entered a viscous cycle. Wheat and cotton, once the staples of American agriculture were selling at such low prices that it was almost impossible for a farmer to make any profit off of them. This was only made worse by the modern equipment many farmers had invested huge sums of money into that would double or even triple the amount of crops produced each season. Farmers were finding it impossible to compete in this new global market that was helping America’s budding industry so much. Finally, the panic of 1893 devastated many of the nation’s farmers already struggling to hold on. As a result, many farm groups, most notably the Populist Party, arose to fight what farmers saw as the reasons for the decline of agriculture. The decline of agriculture was caused by these factors, not the banks, the railroads, or the government. However, the first two preyed on the weak farmers while the latter stood by. Therefore, most of the farmer’s complaints were valid.…
