vehicles release a great amount of pollution into the air which contains carbon monoxide‚ nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide which all cause smog as seen in Los Angeles which unfortunately cause a lot of respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer which is the layer that protects us form the harmful rays of the sun which means by these holes being created with all this air pollution we are exposing ourselves to the sun’s harmful rays which can also cause skin cancer. There is also factories

Chemical Report The chemical I will be writing this report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat

"Pollution affects two essential aspects of our planet: air and water. Although their pollutants are emitted in different ways‚ they both harm all living organisms. Air pollution is predominately emitted through the exhaust of motor vehicles and the combustion of fossil fuels‚ whereas water pollution is the result of industrial waste and environmental accidents. Our society knows that pollution is harmful and a serious problem for Earth but generally people don’t care. Nevertheless everybody needs

Different pollutants released from the vehicles would cause different impacts to the human body. The first one is Nitrogen oxides (NOx). When the fuels are burning at a very high temperature combined with the electric sparks in the vehicles causing the nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere combined together but then the formation of nitrogen oxide will react with the oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide(NO2) rapidly. If people inhaled a low level of NO2‚ the gas will irritate your eyes‚ nose‚ throat‚

One of the most important parameters required for the description of the characteristics of water is the lifetime value of ozone. The lifetime of ozone is characterized by direct laboratory experiments and it is extremely sensitive to the chemical composition of the water (Hoigné and Bader). There are also characteristics included in analysis of water quality that complicate the results

Environmental and Community Health International agreements are necessary to set out the ground work to protecting the environment and health of the communities from potentially harmful substances. The agreements are important to protect our ozone‚ water sources and control air pollants‚ dangerous chemical usage‚ storage of those chemicals‚and greenhouse gases. The agreements allow Canada to have involvment over pollutants that originate from other countries‚ then enter into the Canadian environment

with chemicals. Pollution of the atmosphere and the air around us is air pollution‚ and this is becoming more "popular" everyday. There are several main types of air pollution that include smog‚ acid rain‚ the greenhouse effect‚ and "holes" in the ozone layer. The types are extremely harmful to the environment and could result in serious damage. There are many causes of air pollution and there are many to blame. The first type of air pollution is smog. The word smog came from a newspaper article

Mercury : Due to mercury being extremely close to the sun‚ causes its planet to have no atmosphere. If any air was ever around Mercury‚ it would have been within its early years and from that point to now‚ it is gone because of all of the heat being given off of the sun. Mercury has crazy weather issues because of the lack of atmosphere‚ which includes a drastic weather change within day to night.Whenever the sun touches the surface of Mercury‚ that is when the climate reaches its highess at

IMPLICATIONS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Environment can have a major impact on all areas of the society‚ including Business Organization as well as Personal Life-Styles. Two of the major issues that I want to discuss are Global Warming and Acid Rain. Global Warming is also called the greenhouse effect‚ is believed to be caused by changes in the earth ’s atmosphere as a result of industrial processes. Rising global temperatures are expected to raise sea level‚ and change precipitation and
