environmental factors also contribute to this. Acid rain‚ for example‚ is formed when emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide combine with moisture in the air to create acidic precipitation. This acid rain can acidify lakes and soils. It can also cause structural damage to buildings and monuments‚ especially those made of limestone or marble. Many of the historic structures in Washington D.C. are vulnerable to the destructive action of acid rain‚ with the U.S. Capitol Building itself showing

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

of all over the world die due to direct or indirect effects of air pollution. 3. Acid Rain: Acid raining is another effects of air pollution. Harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere during the burning of fossil fuels. When it rains‚ the water droplets combines with these air pollutants‚ becomes acidic and then falls on the ground in the form of acid rain. Acid rain can cause great damage to human‚ animals and crops. 4. Depletion of Ozone layer:

they wanted to end pollution immediately. Most people don’t agree to do that. But pollution can be reduced gradually. The biggest problems of Earth are fossil fuels‚ global warming‚ ozone layer‚ greenhouse gases and others. One of the problems is acid

Ethanoic Acid Advantages: Ethanoic acid is non-toxic and is a weak acid‚ meaning it will not do any damage to most surfaces as it does not corrode or bind to other metals‚ therefore can be easily removed through washing or rinsing it. Disadvantages: Ethanoic Acid is the slowest de-scaler of the three acids‚ and is therefore the least effective. It also may cause an unpleasant smell‚ and can have a negative effect on the taste of coffee meaning one would need to spend longer time rinsing and cleaning

less obvious. These costs are the effects fossil fuels have on our environment and on human health. Air pollution caused by the burning of coal and oil as well as dust in mines is causing problems for human health. The environment is suffering from acid rain‚ global warming and water and air pollution. Many times‚ the costs go unpaid for and unnoticed. It is imperative that we as a society take responsibility and strive to reduce the negative effects of fossil fuels on our environment. The global

The Causes and Effects of Air Pollution In China Hestia Cao I330003001 New York 04 May 2014 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

the United States to Canada‚ like acid precipitation. Acid precipitation Acid precipitation is precipitation‚ like rain‚ sleet‚ or snow‚ that contains acids from air pollution. When fossil fuels are burned‚ they let out oxides into the air. When these oxides mix with water in the atmosphere‚ they make acid‚ which fall as precipitation.[1] Acid precipitation can kill living things‚ like fish and trees‚ by making the place where they live too acidic. Acid rain can also damage buildings made of

Carolina’s air pollution has increased greatly. Air pollution impacts earths systems. For example‚ when acidic air pollutants combine with water droplets‚ the water becomes acidic. When the acidic water droplets fall to the ground‚ it is called acid rain. Acid rain kills trees‚ harms animals‚ and other other wildlife (Randy Russell). Another example is an air pollutant called chlorofluorocarbons‚ it destroys the
