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

In this assignment I will be talking about air pollution and noise pollution act legislation relating to the aviation industry regarding legal compliance‚ also how it effects people that works within the industry and what impact it has on the consumers and staff and also penalties in failure to comply with these legislations that are set by the government. Air pollutions is known to have a damaging effect on health depending on the level and type of pollution‚ aircraft engines release pollution

the waste products are not managed properly‚ it will cause a lot of bad influences to humans. The effects of improper waste management to humans are contamination of soil‚ floods‚ extinction of plants and animals‚ air contamination and depletion of ozone layer. Firstly‚ the improper waste management will bring up contamination of soil that will bring harms to humans. Normally waste products that can be recycled will be buried underground‚ so that they could contaminate the soil surrounding it. Carcinogen

logging. The smoke exhausted by vehicles‚ factories‚ and open burning cause the air pollution. The chlorofluorocarbon released by air conditioners and refrigerators; and the nuclear weapons used during wars cause the ozone depletion. More ultraviolet rays from the sun can pass through the ozone layer. These cause the rising temperature of the Earth‚ which is also called global warming. Global warming caused the icebergs on the Earth to melt and made the sea level goes up. As a result‚ more floods

one of the most serious problems in the modern world. Global warming means there is gradually increasing temperature on the earth‚ and consequently climate changing. Global warming is the result of human actions. The atmosphere is changing‚ and the ozone layer is under the threat from chemicals that people use on the earth. The amount of using fossil fuels‚ such as oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ and deforestation produces carbon dioxide. The global warming‚ as a result of man- made pollution‚ will increase not
