AIR POLLUTION The major pollution caused by factories or industrials’ activities is air pollution. According to the Engineers’ Joint Council “Air Pollution and Its Control”‚ air pollution means the presence in the outdoor atmosphere of one or more contaminants‚ such as dust‚ fumes‚ gas‚ mist‚ odour‚ smoke or vapour in quantities of characteristics and of duration‚ such as to be injurious to human‚ plant or animal life or to property or which unreasonably interfaces with the comfortable enjoyment

The planet earth for millennia have offered mankind natural resources for its use. However‚ with the growth of the human population‚ resources have been used at a speed that is faster than it would take for it to be replaced. Such consumption has lead to many dangerous environmental effects. Problems like oil spills‚ loss of rain forests and acid rain are just some of the effects of such misuse of the earths natural resources. But‚ to bring about significant change to clean up oil spills‚ or to avoid

of the topic about the causes and effects of air pollution to our environment. The term air pollution is a mixture of natural and manmade substances in the air we breath such as fine particles produced by the burning of fossils fuel ground level ozone‚ which is a reactive form of oxygen that is a primary component of urban smog and noxious gases such as sulfur dioxide‚ nitrogen oxides‚ carbon monoxide‚ and chemical vapors. The health effects of air pollution have been reported in research studies

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 or addition of inorganic‚ organic or biological substances. Noise is also

The Governments contribution to regulate air pollution The United States Government has enacted many polices to help recognize the major causes of air pollution today and what people can do to help clean the air. People finally have the ability to understand more reasonable responses to environmental contaminants and they provide a window into the impacts that the human race is having on the earth. One of the main causes of air pollution is manufacturing due to particular matter and chemicals

Layers of the Atmosphere The envelope of gas surrounding the Earth changes from the ground up. Five distinct layers have been identified using... • thermal characteristics (temperature changes)‚ • chemical composition‚ • movement‚ and • density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics‚ chemical composition‚ movement‚ and density occur. Troposphere The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20

Most plastic is produced from oil. The world is gradually running out of oil. Scientists are now developing plastics that are made from vegetable oil and other organic matter. This means that the plastic is more likely to be degradable‚ so it will

If we just litter all around the place and cut down the forest we will never be able to regain what we have lost. 3.) Also we have been rapidly destroying the ozone layer of the earth with the wanton emissions of fossil fuels and other pollutants. With the continuation of this destruction we will be exposed to deadly UV rays from the sun and solar flares which will lead to the death of the planet earth! But don’t
