Air pollution is the introduction into the atmosphere of chemicals‚ particulates‚ or biological materials that cause discomfort‚ disease‚ or death to humans‚ damage other living organisms such as food crops‚ or damage the natural environment or built environment. The Earth is surrounded by a blanket of air that’s polluted

impact of the Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 on the Southern Company’s Bowen plant? The Clean Air Act amendments of 1990 regulate the emissions of sulfur dioxide starting in 1995. The intention of this legislation is to control the formation of acid rain. Between 1995 and 1999‚ the Bowen plant will receive allowances to emit 254‚580 tons of sulfur dioxide per year. Starting in 2000‚ the Bowen plant will receive allowances to emit 122‚198 tons of sulfur dioxide per year. To comply with the law‚ the

volcanoes and in various industrial processes. Since coal and petroleum often contain sulphur compounds‚ their combustion generates sulfur dioxide. Further oxidation of SO2‚ usually in the presence of a catalyst such as NO2‚ forms H2SO4‚ and thus acid rain.[2] This is one of the causes for concern over the environmental impact of the use of these fuels as power sources. • Nitrogen oxides (NOx) - especially nitrogen dioxide are emitted from high temperature combustion‚ and are also produced naturally

Air and Water Pollution Penny Thompson ENV 100 12.4.2011 Air and Water Pollution Pollution is everywhere we look. In everyday activity‚ humans produce unhealthy pollutants without even a thought. This has been going on for centuries; even as early as the 11th century‚ people turned to burning coal instead of wood and in the 13th century‚ England’s King Edward l tried to impose stiff penalties for polluting the air. They could see that burning sea coal was creating hazards (History Channel

want to know. Why Sealcoating Is Necessary Your asphalt driveway slowly deteriorates over time. The surface oxidizes‚ which causes the color to change from black to gray. Oil‚ gas‚ and rain seep into the asphalt and hasten the development of cracks and potholes. Cracks are more than an eyesore. They allow rain to drain into the soil beneath the asphalt layer‚ and this causes the soil to shift. The shifting soil causes the cracks to get bigger‚ and it can even cause the underlying base of your driveway
