severely high level of air pollution. This pollution is caused by emissions from road traffic‚ industries‚ and the energy sector. In 2005‚ over 200 cities in Ukraine exceeded the levels established by the World Bank health standards for annual concentrations of at least one pollutant. Nineteen cities exceeded health standards for three or more pollutants by at least a factor of 10. In comparison‚ the air pollution levels in the Los Angeles area‚ which has the worst overall air quality in the United

systematic study to discover the causes of major health risk factors‚ the statistics about air pollution stood out the most due to the deaths caused by air pollution. Michael Graham Richard reports that 3.5 million deaths are caused by indoor air pollution and 3.3 million deaths are caused due to outdoor pollution. This essay will be discussing the use of electrostatic precipitator in reduction of air pollution. In total number of deaths are 6.8 million‚ this results are twice as many deaths as previously

became interested in this idea because I’m worried about our environmental conditions and it sounded very interesting to me. The information gained from this experiment may be used to as a warning to stop air pollution. HYPOTHESIS My hypothesis is that the plant watered with the acid solution will grow more slowly than plant’s watered with regular rainwater. I base my hypothesis on a book that has a picture of a tree that acid rain has fallen on compared to a regular tree. EXPERIMENT DESIGN

Reducing Air and Water Pollution Reducing air and water pollution is always a challenge. Even in a smaller city like Enterprise‚ Alabama. So many things seem out of our control; however if everyone was to do their part‚ even if it’s just a small change‚ it can make a big difference. So many luxuries we have in our lives we take for granted‚ and so many pollutants we put into the atmosphere and our ground water without thought. I want to show that in a small town like Enterprise that does

businesses would have an impact on water and air pollution‚ which impacts the health of the residents‚ as well as the surrounding environment. The warehouse company would bring in more truck traffic and emissions to Sparksville. Emissions are a nonpoint source of pollution into the air‚ and also leads to the water from the acid rain from the effects of the emissions. Although the warehouse is small in nature‚ it would still have an effect on the water pollution because of sewage. Sewage would be a point

Carbon oxide and Nitrogen oxide are one of the many air pollutants this world is having problems with. As for carbon oxide and nitrogen oxide they fall into the category of a primary pollutant‚ or as so I believe. The reason for why I believe this is because when nitrogen oxide is let out and exposed into the air it can harm the growth of our plants and crops which results us to lose quantities of our food being grown. Also if nitrogen oxide is inhaled it can cause health complications such as asthma

The global warming is now becoming a serious concern to the world. One of the main reasons of this problem is human activities; they pollute their surrounding environment like noise‚ land‚ water‚ and air. This essay will illustrate three important ways to cut down air pollution. The first necessary way to solve this problem is to reduce the using of vehicles. People should change from travel by their own car or motorbike to travel by public transportation such as taxies‚ buses‚ or trains. Likely
