Pollution, everyone complains about it. So what is it pollution? It happens when impurities contaminate the natural environment; which causes about changes that affect our day to day lifestyles negatively. Pollutants are the main elements or components of pollution which are usually discarded materials of different sorts. Pollution disrupts our ecosystem and the balance in the ecosystem. With modernization as well as growth in our lives pollution has reached its top; resulting in the rise to global warming and other dangerous human illness.
Pollution occurs in different forms; from air, water, soil, radioactive, noise, heat/ thermal and to light pollution. Every type of pollution has two sources of occurrence in nature; the point and the non-point

It occurs due to contamination of undesired chemicals in the soil due to human activities. Application of insecticides and pesticides incorporates the nitrogen compounds from the soil making it unsuitable for plants to obtain nutrition from. Discharge of industrial waste, mining, as well as deforestation, are other human activities that pollute the soil because plants can 't grow in the right way and cannot hold the soil and this results in soil erosion which is the major form so soil pollution.
The forth form of pollution is Noise pollution. It occurs unpleasant sound stirs our ears and results to psychological problems such as stress, hypertension, hearing impairment, etc. The primary causes of soil pollution are loud music and industrial noises.
Radioactive pollution, though rear, is the most dangerous form of pollution when it occurs. It can be caused by nuclear plant malfunctions, accidents, improper nuclear waste disposal, etc. most of its effects are a severe and long term in nature and include defects at the time of birth infertility, blindness, cancer, can affect air and water as well as sterilizing
Now we can see that the more land the farmers use with heavy mechanisms like tractors, the more soil and dirt is exposed. With the grass gone and dirt open, wind and dust will carry it up in the air and collect more and more when time goes
Combining the Rhetorical Modes Pollution occurs in the world naturally as well by the hand of humans. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. For example, when a cow passes gas a large amount of methane gas is released into the atmosphere. Methane is twenty one times more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide, this results in the global temperature increasing. Humans contribute to pollution as well, for example, a person drives to work everyday in a car that runs on gas, the gas burning in his engine causes carbon monoxide to be released, increasing the global temperature.
The serious threat to the health of the IRL is the reduced water quality due to the manmade hydrologic changes, non-point pollution, loss
Introduction Nuclear waste is produced at every stage of the nuclear fuel cycle, from uranium mining and enrichment, to reactor operation and the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Much of this nuclear waste will remain hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving a poisonous legacy to future generations. The global volume of spent fuel was 220,000 tonnes in the year 2000, and is growing by approximately 10,000 tonnes annually. Despite billions of dollars of investment in various disposal options, the nuclear industry and governments have failed to come up with a feasible and sustainable solution.
1 Fracking and Natural Gas Fracking in the United States is a good idea because natural gas is widely used to fuel vehicles heat businesses and homes, and as energy for kitchen stoves and other appliances, natural gas; however, it is extremely flammable and has a tendency to be exceedingly destructive. Natural gas has been widely used all over many states, Texas, Louisiana, Wyoming, Oklahoma, and Colorado use natural gas and the percentage has increased by about 7.5% in 2011, the total of natural gas being used in the U.S. has increased by 65%. Many, if not most, of these states use natural gas for their vehicles, their heating and many kitchen appliances. Manufacturers offer factory built, natural gas trucks, vans, Public buses and school buses, there are
Around the globe every minute a child dies because of water-related disease, Women spend hours walking to collect water, it has been estimated 1 in 9 people lack access to safe water, hospital bed spaces are occupied majorly people related to water-borne diseases. Clean water is essential for both mental and physical development. Lead in tap water causes many birth defects. Thousands of contaminants are present in tap water which are even poisonous. For every spent on water and sanitation there is a double return to the economic.
Pollution in California and World The world should be consider about the one of embarrassing problem in the world it is pollution, many contries have that problem. Pollution impact on human life and causes dangeros diseases and affect the animals and plants. Pollution is risk to human and make our life difficult and it give us serious diseases. We must save our life and next generation live.
Health problems and loss of human life can be additionally be caused by poor water quality. The drought will not just pass; serious actions need to be taken with the participation of
Pollution is the presence into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects. Planes can fly at fantastic speed with no apparent effort, carrying thousands of pound of aluminum and consuming a massive amount of fossil fuel. They dump that amount of fuel and dangerous pollution over our homes and in our atmosphere every day. And this problem will only continue to grow over the years that came. The author Jesse Haff, from the article “Issue Briefing: Impacts of Airplane Pollution on Climate Change and Health”, admitted that airplanes”have three major problems- they are inefficient, really big, and run on toxic fuels.
Pollution may be a threat, but it can be solved in our
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
One of the greatest issues that we face towards the environment has been an increasingly difficult problem over the last few years. Earths climate is changing at rapid paces and solutions are needed as quickly as possible to replenish natural ecosystems and cultures that depend on the environment. Climate change not only affects the animals in our ecosystem, but us humans as well. With the human population increasing every year, climate change is only getting worse. Many argue that the effects of climate change towards the environment are due to other extraneous factors, however, I myself am a strong believer that the problems such as rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and natural disasters are all due to both natural causes and human activity.
• Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicles exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy Metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins for pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill, acid rain, urban runoff; air pollution is caused by various gases and toxins
Environmental issues began to be discussed and debated only towards the end of the 20th century. Since then significant amount of literature has been penned down raising awareness about issues of pollution, deforestation, animal rights and several others however it has failed to result in major changes, ideas or even actions to save the environment. Several species of animals have become extinct; pollution level is at an all-time high, global warming is leading to severe climate changes all across the globe but these problems do not seem to alarm the decision makers. Leydier & Martin (2013) also states that, “despite the increasing expression of concern in political and media debates about issues such as climate change, pollution and threats
Focusing on reducing air pollutants in the Earth’s atmosphere, it creates an environmentally healthy place to live in and encourage people to work together for a common cause, thus making the world a better place. In order to solve such a problem, a strong understanding is needed. Air pollution is one of the various forms of pollution. It is the presence of foreign toxic substances or pollutants into the air.
