Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals, particulates, and biological matter that cause harm to humans, other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment. 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. The Earth is capable of cleaning itself of a certain level of pollution, but man-made pollutant have become too numerous for the Earth’s natural mechanisms to remove. We are seeing the results of this overload in the form of acid rain, smog, and the variety of health problems that can be contributed to our environment. (Godish)…

Discusses and evaluates school substances that create pollution and it describes how they pollute school atmospheres. Describes how theses unhealthy conditions impact children’s current and prospective health and why these issues are not a big concern to school administrators. Discusses and evaluates…
When people think about air pollution, the things that come to their mind are smog, acid rain, and other forms of outdoor air pollution. Air Pollution is not a new topic. It is a problem that we have noticed since the industrial revolution, when trees, houses and cars were covered in soot from the factories. Every year, chemical substances present in the air within buildings affect the healths of thousands of people. The definition of air pollution is "The presence in the atmosphere of one or more contaminants as is injurious, or tends to be injurious, to human health or welfare, animal or plantlife."Ozone, a gas, is a major part of air pollution in cities. When ozone forms air pollution, it's also called smog. Air pollution are the leading cause of death in China. Acid rain falls on 30% of the country. The World Health Organization has found that about 750,000 people die prematurely each year from respiratory problems in China.…
Air pollution is a contagion of the environment both inside and outside by any substance and factor that alters the natural aspects of the atmosphere. There are several causes for this air pollution such as; vehicles, industrial equipment, tobacco smoke, carbon monoxide, ozone etc. These air pollutants will leave an impact on health and social care organisations as these can cause harm to the environment and thus harm us which will eventually lead to a number of diseases especially those respiratory. Air pollution also causes infections and poisoning. Therefore, due to this pollution leading to disease, infections and poisoning, people must make use of health and social care organisations more which will drive change in these sectors (WHO, n.d.).…
The average person breathes about three thousand gallons of air per day. Imagine if that air was dirty? Most of us take for granted the air we breathe, and don’t even realize that we are breathing in toxins. Most of us aren’t even aware of how polluted the air is and how unhealthy it can be for the average person to breathe it in. It can make breathing difficult for some people and it affects all living things. Air pollution is a major problem in the world today. There have been many laws passed regulating air pollution to protect our environment and all living things.…
To the environmental protection agency I want to request something we should do about our air pollution problems that we are currently having here in the united states. I Ask myself Why is air pollution a global issue that should be monitored. I am a American citizens and my state is currently affected by it. Here are some reason why.…
In our state we have a growing problem of air pollution. It might not be as clearly visible in some areas as others but the fact is that air pollution is still there affecting us in some way, shape, or form. Air pollution has been known to cause illness and/or death, which many people may not be aware of. There are two main causes of pollution in our state. One main cause of air pollution is natural. Natural pollution is windblown dust, pollen, fog, etc. The other main cause of air pollution is humans. Air pollution caused by humans is the chief concern and the most serious form. Most of the human pollution created is from industrial work, cars, trucks and airplanes. The causes of pollution can go on and on, and scientists constantly are discovering new elements that add to air pollution. The most harmful cause of air pollution is from automobile emissions. People drive automobiles everyday to get from "Point A to Point B". If automobiles did not exist, the air would most likely be cleaner, but we would not be able to travel long distances in short periods.…
Air pollution is a type of pollution that particulates made by human being activities or natural causes were brought into the Earth’s atmosphere. When it achieves to sufficient concentration and adequate time, it begins to endanger people’s comfort, health, welfare, even damage to the environment that we live. Atmosphere is a mixture. It’s a mixture of Nitrogen (78.08%), Oxygen (20.94%), Rare gases (0.93%), Carbon dioxide (0.03%) and Other gases and impurities (0.02%). Spontaneous change may cause the change of the ingredients of the atmosphere, such as volcanic eruption, forest fire and so on. But these changes are local and temporary. However, with the development of modern industry and the transportation, pollutants emissions become more and more. These make the ingredients change rapidly so that the atmosphere becomes worse and worse. Air pollution is the pollution can make people live with huge danger and bad moods.…
Every year air pollution has been increasing in the U.S and there are many factors that contribute to this. Pollution is caused by many things which include: smoke from fires, pesticides used in agriculture, and the biggest of them all the burning of fossil fuels. The issue of pollution is a huge problem in the U.S and according to multiple sources, the state of California has the most cities in the top 10 cities with the worst air pollution. Some of these cities on this list include Fresno, CA and many cities around Fresno like Visalia, Madera, and Bakersfield. Pollution can have severe effects and some of these effects of pollution are global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer, and land can become infertile.…
Generally any substance that people introduce into the atmosphere that has damaging effects on living things and the environment is considered air pollution. Air pollution is a major environmental risk to health. By reducing air pollution levels, we can help countries reduce the global problem of disease from breathing infections, heart disease, and lung cancer. The lower the levels of air pollution in a city, the better breathing (both long- and short-term), and circulatory health of the population will be. Indoor air pollution is estimated to cause approximately 2 million premature deaths mostly in developing countries. Almost half of these deaths are due to pneumonia in children under 5 years of age. Urban outdoor air pollution is estimated to cause 1.3 million deaths worldwide per year. Those living in middle-income countries excessively experience this burden. Exposure to air pollutants is largely beyond the control of individuals and requires action by public authorities at the national, regional and even international levels.…
There's nothing quite like opening the door and breathing fresh, clean, air—but how clean is the air you're breathing right now? Unless you're a scientist with a chemistry lab at your fingertips, there's no real way of knowing. The gases you're sucking up through your nose could be slowly killing you: according to the World Health Organization, around two million people die prematurely from the effects of polluted air every single year. Air pollution is a huge problem—and not just for people living in smog-choked cities: through such things as global warming and damage to the ozone layer, it has the potential to affect us all. So what exactly causes this major environmental issue and what can we do about it? Let's take a closer look!…
The Air Pollution Control Act of 1955 was the first federal legislation involving air pollution. This act provided funds for federal research in air pollution. The Clean Air Act of 1963 was the first federal legislation regarding air pollution control. It established a program within the U.S. Public Health Service authorizing research into techniques for monitoring and controlling air…
People are slowly destroying the nature environment around them. Today we are anxious about the state of the air we breathe because every year world industry throws out into atmosphere about 1 000 million tons of dust, smoke and other harmful substances and people of many cities suffer from smog.…
With the rapid development of modern industry and transportation, all of the soot and automobile exhaust and others emissions had already go beyond the boundaries of self-purification of the atmosphere. After that, air pollution is the serious problem that will occur. In addition, we need to breathe air to sustain our life because clean atmosphere is a necessary condition for the survival of mankind depends on. Therefore, the contaminated air has a direct impact on human health.…
