education and encouraging them to be more passionate about their environment could be two examples of the possible practical actions against the air pollution. In conclusion‚ I must say that it is far more preferable to develop a consumption policy rather than rising prices which may have a reverse effect in the long run. I think that to solve traffic and pollution problems‚ several measures need to be sorted out‚ besides increasing the price of

Air pollution is one of the virtual problem nowadays. There are many reasons of it but mostly it is caused by cars‚ growing cities‚ development of economy and industrialization. Clean air consist of several gases. When some other gases or dangerous elements get into the clean air‚ pollution is inevitable. Ozone layer is affected too much by pollution and it will cause serious disturbances on the environment. People are the main cause of pollution because the things that we use contain dangerous

Air pollution Air pollution is a problem everywhere in the world. Local air pollution usually affects big cities. Air pollution becomes a worldwide problem when local pollution moves away from where it came from. For example‚ winds carry air pollution made in the middle of the western part of 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

ENERGY RESOURCES Energy is defined as ‘the capacity to do work’. Sun is the primary source of energy. Joule is the standard unit of energy in SI units. Energy utilization is an index of economic development‚ which does not take into account of ill effects/damage on to environment. From 1900 to 2000 population increased by 3 times while energy consumption by 14 times! Energy Resources All energy sources ultimately come from the sun‚ the moon or the earth. Sources of Energy Solar

Air pollution – contaminants or substances in the air that interfere with human health or produce other harmful environmental effects. Read our “What is Air Pollution?” article for further information. Alternative energy – usually environmentally friendly‚ this is energy from uncommon sources such as wind power or solar energy‚ not fossil fuels. Alternative fuels – similar to above. Not petrol or diesel but different transportation fuels like natural gas‚ methanol‚ bio fuels and electricity. B

Nowadays‚ our community has many environmental problems‚ but the obviously problem is air pollution. People around the world‚ especially in the cities‚ see air pollution as an important problem because cause it makes many big effects such as worsens earth’s atmosphere and harms living creatures. Air pollution is created by both natural actions and humans activities‚ but mostly‚ air pollution is made by humans. The three principal causes that humans have done are burning fuels in vehicles‚ unsuitable

AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT OF THE PROPOSED BASE TRANSCEIVER STATION (BTS) October‚ 2012 1.0 Introduction The sources of ambient air pollution‚ especially in urban environments‚ are often quite diverse. These sources can be broadly classified as stationary‚ mobile and area emission sources. Emissions of pollution from these three classes of sources typically result in complex spatial and temporal distributions of ambient air pollution concentrations. Emission inventories form
