Burning of Fossil Fuels: Burning of fossil fuels like coal‚ petroleum and other factory combustibles is one the major causes of air pollution. Smoke emitting from vehicles like buses‚ trucks‚ jeeps‚ cars‚ trains‚ airplanes etc. causes air pollution. 3. Industrial smoke: In mills and factories‚ large amount

Effects of Overpopulation Depletion of Natural Resources: The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first of these is the depletion of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food‚ which is falling short of the current needs. Most of the environmental damage being seen in the last fifty odd years is because of the growing number of people on the planet. They are cutting down forests‚ hunting wildlife in a reckless manner‚ causing pollution and creating

1. Define "global warming." Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere and the ocean due to the depletion of the ozone layer. Describe briefly the theory behind man-caused global warming. Include a list of some of the gases that are believed to contribute to global warming. The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ mainly from industries has increased significantly. The atmospheric concentration of this gas and its

CHAPTER 01 INTRODUCTION 1.1 FLY ASH India produces about 70 million tons of coal ash per year from burning about 200 million tons of coal per year for electric power generation. Coal-ash management posses a serious environmental problem for India and requires a mission-mode approach. Considerable research and development work have been undertaken across the country towards confidence building and developing suitable technologies for disposal and utilization of fly ash construction

These natural resources include Water‚ air‚ sun‚ Oil and Natural Gases‚ other hydrocarbons such as coal‚ Plant kingdom etc. All of these play an important role in the life of the mankind. The replenishment of these is not possible. Increasing consumption and demand of these resources has embarked a danger of depletion of the reserves of such natural resources. Also‚ to maintain the ecological balance and avoid the earth from global threat of the reserves being

people still use Non-Renewable Natural Resources even though they have many issues. Explain with some examples. Non-Renewable Resources are the resources that cannot be reproduced/grown/generated or used scale which can sustain its consumption. Eg: Coal because it gets exhausted and long time to reform. When we use them and some other examples are LPG/nuclear/natural gas and fossil fuel are natural gas and nuclear energy. Although there has been many issues‚ people still use Non-Renewable Resources

Due to air pollution‚ the composition of air is changing all over the world. Most of the gases and air pollutants are produced by burning fuels. Burning of coal produces carbon dioxide‚ sulphur dioxide etc. which are responsible for acid rain. Chlorofluorocarbons are widely used as propellants and as refrigerants which cause ozone depletion. Water pollution adversely changes the quality of water. It disturbs the balance of the ecosystem and causes health hazards. Water becomes polluted by the presence

Example: Oil reserves in the US are estimated to have 29 billion barrels of oil. The oil reserve will be depleted in 13.2 years based on the production rate of 6 million barrels per day. Natural gas reserves are estimated to have 12 years until depletion and coal is the most abundant with an estimated 230 years remaining. The alternative fuels we are investing money into research are wind‚ solar‚ biomass‚ nuclear‚ geothermal‚ ethanol‚ and hydroelectric. 3. Statistic: Since the United states produces

renewable energy Introduction In today’s world the most important thing human’s need is electricity. Without electricity most of the modern equipment would not work. Similarly fuel is needed to power transportation devices. Natural recourses such as coal‚ oil and natural gas are the basis for producing energy for all kinds of devices. Due to the extensive use of these resources they now face extinction. These resources are classified as non-renewable resources. In this report we will discuss different
