Automobile Air Pollution Efforts to improve the standard of living for humans‚ through the control of nature and the development of new products have also resulted in the pollution of the environment. Much of the world’s air‚ water‚ and land is now partially poisoned by pollution. Some places have become uninhabitable. This pollution exposes people all around the globe to new risks from disease. Many species of plants and animals have become endangered or are now extinct. The air pollution comes

detrimental to our health‚ it is important that we protect ourselves. UVC contains the highest amount of energy and a bigger wavelength. When the uv rays enters earth’s ozone‚ UVC does not reach the earth’s surface because of the ozone layer‚ the UVC bonds are broken up due to its oxygen particles breaking down when in contact with the ozone.

BENEFITS OF FOREST RESOURCES A forest‚ also referred to as a wood or the woods‚ is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities‚ depending on various cultural definitions‚ what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and of what the forest is composed. A forest is usually an area filled with trees but any tall densely packed area of vegetation may be considered a forest‚ even underwater vegetation such as kelp forests‚ or

pollutant of this type is carbon dioxide. It is naturally produced when we breathe but most associated with cars‚ planes‚ and power plants. Methane‚ another greenhouse gas‚ is produced by gas emitted from swamps and livestock and causes destruction of the ozone layer. On the other hand‚ sulfur dioxide (naturally released by volcanic eruptions and the main component of smog)‚ has the opposite effect. Instead of trapping heat‚ it reflects light and keeps earth cool. Industrialized countries have been working

The statement says that pollution is a global responsibility‚ but first of all‚ in order to understand the statement and therefore argue the points of view‚ we must state what can be defined as Pollution. The Oxford dictionary states that to pollute an area is to… “…Destroy the purity or sanctity of; make foul or filthy; contaminate or defile…” There are many types of pollution‚ of which the most common is atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric pollution is generally caused by the emissions of substances

on Earth are mostly caused by factories and cars. A gas called CO2 that is emitted from factories and cars is causing the ozone layer to disappear. The ozone layer protects us from the dangerous rays of the Sun‚ but once the ozone layer is gone‚ the rate of getting skin cancer will increase. Today the chances of getting skin cancer which is caused by the disappearing of the ozone layer is %65-%90. We would be able to lower the rate of chances of skin cancer if we change our ways on using factories

the pollution. Many people know about air pollution‚ but not everyone knows how hazardous it really is. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the six most abundant pollutants in the air are ozone‚ particulate matter‚ carbon monoxide‚ nitrogen dioxides‚ sulfur dioxides‚ and lead. Ozone is the main component of smog (What). Smog is “a thick haze caused by the action of sunlight on air polluted especially by smoke and automobile exhaust fumes” (Smog). Particulate matter is made up of a mixture

Stratospheric ozone depletion (contributed to air pollution) has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems. Causes Of Air Pollution: | * a) Ozone - A gas that can be found in two places. Near the ground (the troposphere)‚ it is a major part of smog. The harmful ozone in the lower atmosphere should not be confused with the protective layer of ozone in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere)‚ which screens out harmful ultraviolet rays. Sources: Ozone is not
