Light Pollution? Light Pollution Light pollution is artificial or outdoor light that creates glare and intrudes with the nighttime setting and the natural night environment. The artificial light that is produced by urban centres/ areas‚ diminish the view of stars and planets. These artificial lights can be seen all the way out in space! Satellite images show light pollution as well lit and glowing regions on a map at nighttime (see image below). These well-lit regions are mostly cities (urban)

Reducing noise pollution. Noise pollution occurs when noise reaches levels harmful to health and the public peace. The noise is an undesirable‚ or to man unpleasant sound. The intensity of sound is expressed in units of sound pressure‚ or decibels. A very low whisper is about 10 dB‚ while a conversation in a normal tone is about 60 db and the sound of a rock concert reaches about 100 db. The main sources of noise are: means of transport such as cars‚ buses and motorcycles; industrial activities;

Causes of air pollution There are many different chemical substances that contribute to air pollution. These chemicals come from a variety of sources. Among the many types of air pollutants are nitrogen oxides‚ carbon monoxides‚ and organic compounds that can evaporate and enter the atmosphere. Air pollutants have sources that are both natural and human. Now‚ humans contribute substantially more to the air pollution problem. Forest fires‚ volcanic eruptions‚ wind erosion‚ pollen dispersal‚

utNowadays pollution is becoming more and more serious problem‚ particularly air pollution. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution‚ the chemical elements of the atmosphere have changed. Along with the development of industrialization‚ air pollution has spread and now it is a global issue. There are many kinds of air pollution‚ one of them is smog. Smog can come from many areas‚ particularly factories and transportation systems‚ but there are some differences between developed and developing

Environmental Pollution Scenario SCI/256 June 26‚ 2013 University of Phoenix Pollution Scenario Cleveland Hts. Has a budget in the amount of $4.4m. The city is requesting a bike lane within the city. The purpose of the bike lane is to discourage residence from driving their car and to become environmental sociable. With pollution on the rise‚ the board felt biking could slow down the process. We can view below Cleveland budget and hope both parties can come up with ideas slowing the risks

Smog pollution in Beijing Smog pollution has been around since the start of industrialization‚ and there are many cities that suffer from its consequences. Among them‚ Beijing is singled out as the hotspot these days. In the past winter‚ an unprecedented amount of smog cloaked Beijing‚ filling the city with noxious air and causing convulsive coughing among the local residents. Not only does smog cause inconvenience in transportation by reducing visibility‚ but also‚ according to a study at

Environment pollution is a much-talked topic of the present time. Our life is so deeply and invariably related to environment that any pollution of it causes dangers and brings about different disasters. In fact‚ a sound environment is the precondition of a sound living. However‚ our environment is being polluted in a number of ways. In Bangladesh‚ the level of environmental pollution has reached high and it is high time we checked environment from being spoilt. Environment pollution by business:

Nonpoint source pollution is land runoff from drainage‚ rain‚ and seepage and hydraulic modification. It is caused by rain or snow melt that moves through and over the ground. When the runoff moves‚ it collects and picks up manmade and natural pollutants and ends up spilling into lakes‚ rivers‚ streams‚ and coastal waters. Nonpoint source pollution can include things like motor oil‚ toxic chemicals‚ animal droppings‚ trash and even insecticides. Our drinking water needs to be protected. It takes
