researchers have uncovered several diseases that seem to be caused by air pollution‚ including asthma‚ lung cancer and heart diseases. Along with harming human health‚ air pollution can cause a variety of environmental effects‚ e.g. acid rain‚ ozone depletion‚ crop and forest damage and global climate change. There are now various air pollution control technologies and strategies available to help reduce it‚ People are encouraged now more than ever before to use non-polluting renewable forms of energy

The 1955 A.P.C.A. provided funding for research of air pollution. The Clean Air Act of 1963 was the 1st designed to control air pollution. The 1955 Air Pollution Control Act was the 1st U.S. federal law that focused on air pollution. The Clean Air Act accomplished this by setting up a federal program within the U.S. Public Health Service & allowing research into techniques for monitoring & controlling air pollution. It was 1st amended in 1965‚ by the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution‚ which authorized

Atmosphere Evolution on Rocky Planets Atmosphere can be defined as a gaseous compound layer surrounding a large body mass suspended by means of gravity and centrifugal force caused by rotation [1]. Atmospheres of planets have not always been the same‚ its evolution comprised of complex development across million years of geologic time affected by various changes of variables inside and outside its planet [2]. Of the interest of this essay is the atmospheric evolution of a rocky planet. Rocky planet

Depletion of tropical forests is becoming one of the many worldwide dilemmas facing our planet. The rapid rate of deforestation is reaching disastrous limits as the demands for resources far exceed supplies. Rainforests provide a home to many species of plants‚ both known and unknown. Our dependencies on tropical plants are vast ranging from the daily essentials of food and shelter‚ to cures for cancer and possibly AIDS. As destruction of the rainforest continues‚ the effects on plants are immense
