A survey done on the water of Long Island found out that the levels of 1,4-dioxane were so high in the water supplies, and that this generates heightened risk on the population that consumes the contaminated water. The measurement levels of this chemical when measured in a survey revealed that even though the chemical takes years before its effect is felt in the general population, its widespread presence in the water of Long Island is peculiar and raises a concern and need of addressing this issue from the relevant

Due to free radicals attack biological molecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, the oxidative stress has been defined as dangerous. On the contrary, oxidative stress also has a functional role in regulation of intracellular signal transduction and in physiologic adaptation. Thus, the suitable definition for oxidative tension may be as “a state where oxidative force exceeds the antioxidant systems due to loss of the balance between them” T. YOSHIKAWA and Y. NAITO. The generated excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to unrestrained oxidation leads. The major function of lycopene is in oxidative damage of DNA and lymphocytes and short term improvement in LDL oxidation point out from the diet based on therapy (Butt, et al.، 2014).

Introduction Pollution has been around since Ancient Rome and is described as the contamination of our natural environment that is caused by chemicals and gas (Stromberg). Because of pollution in the air, more damaging consequences such as the formation of acid rain are triggered. The largest contributors to pollution are humans through industrial factories that expel foreign chemicals into the atmosphere and cause the formation of acid rain. This topic was chosen to explore the effect of man-made acid rain as a result of pollution in the air on plants, human health, and much more. The effect of pH on oxygen (O2) consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) production is worthy of investigation because human-caused acid rain is at large at many countries and may give clarity to other events that acid rain triggers.

Thirdly, human problems resulting from jellyfish blooms, Stings from pelagic cnidarians because discomfort and sometimes medical emergencies for swimmers and waders primarily in warm marine waters worldwide (reviewed in Fenner & Williamson 1996, Burnett 2001). When pelagic cnidarians occur in great abundance, stinging can occur at epidemic levels. As human populations and recreational activities continue to increase along the coasts, stinging is projected to become an increasing problem (Macrokanis et al. 2004). Fourthly, Cultural eutrophication, Eutrophication is considered to be one of the major global pollution problems (e.g.

The ocean acidification is probably the most important issue on our planet today. I think the ocean acidification is the most important issue today because ocean acidification affects all life on earth. For me, counter the ocean acidification needs to be a priority now because it was directly connected with the last few mass extension. If we succeed to stop the ocean acidification, we are going to resolve a lot of problems who are going to be linked with this issue. I’m sure the cause of the ocean acidification is that we are changing the environment very quickly and now, we are converting hundreds of millions of years of fossil fuel, burn it, and turn it into carbon dioxide.

These are the most pollution making places that create the CO2. With the production of the CO2 the ocean is the place where most of the CO2 ends up. Its one of the biggest carbon sinks there is. Now with the ocean being the largest carbon sink it comes with problems if there is too much absorbed into the ocean. This also creates another problem and that is raising the pH of the ocean by 30% since the industrial revolution.

Aggie Bistakis Professor Stoepker English 2 March 1, 2018 The influence Climate Change Has On Coral Reefs The world around us is always changing, however it is not always for the better. Climate change is a very prevalent and controversial issue in today 's society. While politicians argue about whether or not climate change is just another hoax, the effects of global warming continue to cause damage to ocean life and marine habitats around the world. One species that has seen a great deal of devastation due to global warming are the coral reefs. Increasing water temperatures and pollution have resulted in coral bleaching and the destruction of coral reefs across the globe.

Moreover, the total amount of toxins and debris discharged by human beings is incredibly increasing in today 's world. Most of the waste produced on land is either intentionally or unconsciously discharged into the oceans. Marine pollution and aquatic debris can utterly destroy the oceans causing extinction of the marine creatures. Innovative techniques should be implemented in the law to prevent the marine environment from any further damage. In order to improve the marine environment, the government and the Environment Public Authority of Kuwait should take immediate actions that can influence the society and help in minimizing aquatic debris and pollution.

One of the most important causes of Nile contamination is discharging of industrial facilities (Mohamed et al., 1998). Factory waste contains heavy metals such as, Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb) and Copper (Cu), which cause toxicity. In this essay, the discussion will point to Nile contamination as a controversial issue and highlight some health problems which occur as consequences of using polluted water in Egypt. Likewise, the essay will raise some scientific methods to determine the percentage of heavy metal in water supported by example. Then it will suggest some chemical technical solutions to reduce the percentage of heavy metals in Nile and reuse it again for many purposes.
