2009 Research Project Air Pollution 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

Causes of Air Pollution Harm from air pollution was first exposed when fires were built in poorly ventilated caves. Since then pollution of the earth’s surface has dramatically increased. Lately‚ ecological pollution harms have been neighboring and slight because of our own planets ability to take in and clean minor quantities of pollutants. The industrialization of civilization‚ motorized vehicles being introduced‚ and the rapid growth of the population‚ is factors contributing toward the growing

Cincinnati Water and Air Pollution Plan April 1‚ 2007 Air and water pollution has long been a concern in the major cities of the United States but our concern should not end there. Other cities and even small towns are suffering from the effects of pollution. Cincinnati‚ Ohio is a city with very poor air and water quality from pollution so a plan is needed to reverse these effects and restore health to the ecosystem and human life. The term air pollution is used quite often‚ but what

Addressing Air Pollution Threats with Air Purifier We are already in the year 2013 and like many other fields of technology there also has been significant improvements in the field of pollution prevention. Using an air purifier could address problems of air pollution substantially. With the world growing more and more conscious about environmental issues‚ pollution control is taking driver’s seat among various considerations for home‚ office‚ and workshop owners. Many people are turning towards

Air and water pollution affect the biotic and abiotic environment on a global scale. All pollutants affect individuals in different ways‚ but mainly affect those with asthma or underlying respiratory conditions. Transportation and energy consumption are the biggest contributors to pollution and global warming. With world population on the rise‚ carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is also climbing a steep hill. CO2‚ a primary air pollutant‚ is the most major concern amongst environmental scientists‚

People always polluted their surroundings. But until now pollution was not such a serious problem. People lived in rural areas and did not produce such amount of polluting agents that would cause a dangerous situation in global scale.

Along with harming human health‚ air pollution can cause a variety of environmental effects: Acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. These acids are formed primarily by nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned. These acids fall to the Earth either as wet precipitation (rain‚ snow‚ or fog) or dry precipitation (gas and particulates). Some are carried by the wind‚ sometimes hundreds of miles. In the environment

Air Pollution Index (API) is the conversion of ambient respirable suspended particulates (RSP)‚ sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ carbon monoxide (CO)‚ ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration measured at the air quality monitoring network to a scale of 0 to 500. The lower the level‚ the better quality of air we can breathe. If the index is above 100‚ there will be an adverse acute health effect to human. The number of days which had a record of API 100 or above keeps increasing these years‚ which
