The most recognized depletion is the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. Pollution has caused this and has been reason for the increase in human health problems. Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world’s worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World’s Worst

Water and Air Pollution Analysis When doing the research for this project I was actually very surprised just at how much air pollution that there actually is in Bourbon County. I have always heard things like "we live in a bad community" or similar remarks because there are two big factories that put out harmful pollutants in the air. Those factories are CMC/CLA and Mallinckrodt. After reading the report that was put out by scorecard.com I realize that my community may be in more danger.

Does air pollution have an impact on society? Air pollution is a worldwide problem. It’s the introduction of harmful substances or products into the environment which can occur naturally or artificially. The first major cause of air pollution is car exhausts which lead to about 45 to 50 % of the total air pollution. It is produced by unburned fuel in the form of oxides of Nitrogen and hydrocarbons. One of the hydrocarbons produced is Carbon monoxide which is one of the most dangerous gases resulting

explain some of the relationships between energy consumption and air pollution. Personally‚ when I first started thinking about the topic‚ I thought I already had the answers. The equation was pretty simple and did not take much thought: higher energy = higher air pollution. This thought was incorrect‚ as I quickly found out. The very first website looked at showed that over the last thirty years‚ energy consumption and air pollution do not always go hand in hand. However‚ in some places throughout

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
