Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment dirty and unsafe or unsuitable to use. This can be done through the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, but the contaminant doesn’t need to be tangible. Things as simple as light, sound and temperature can be considered pollutants when introduced artificially into an environment. Look at any ecosystem and there could be multiple forms of contamination-streams full of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers overloaded with nutrients from farms, trash blowing away from landfills, city skies coverd in smog. Even landscapes that appear pristine can experience the effects of pollution sources located hundreds or thousands of miles away. Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison solls and waterways, or kill plants and animals. Humans are also regurly harmed by pollution. Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top predators can make some species unsafe to eat. More than one billion people lack access to clean water and 2.4 billion don’t have adequate sanitation, putting them at risk of contracting deadly diseases. (Alina Bradford, 2015 )
The pollution that occurs during the process of produce the furniture is noise pollution. Noise pollution is often an issue but it is not given enough attention. Of late, this aspect is discussed in earnest when the
Disease caused by pollution might be caused by water pollution or air pollution, this is when the environment around a person is dirty. Examples are: Rickets, anemia,
What are the large Factories doing to our environment? In the novel Big Burn written by Lesley Choyce Chris and Marina attempt to get the incinerator shut down for polluting the surrounding environment. Chris and Marina decided it would be best after they came across 4 dead merganser ducks on the outer area of the incinerator. After confronting Mr. Gibson (Incinerator Boss) about the pending issue Chris and Marina are kicked out of the building and escorted home by cops. However Chris and Marina’s intentions are only fueled more when Dial Chemical Company attempts to build a second incinerator at Rocky Harbour.
That kind of noises will cause the workers to have a highly chance of getting headaches and cause damages to their ears. In addition, the workers have to work in a room where there are barely any light making it difficult for them to see. “How could she say she could see hardly anything in the morning gloom of the huge, barn like room, the very air a soap of dust and lint?”(63) This shows that the place is very unsanitary for the works to work in, and also they have to work in a place where there is barely any light. Lyddie should sign the petition due to the reason where the environment is an unfit place to work
To ensure the future of the company, as well as the industry overall, Kennebec Lumber Company is also dedicated to sustainable business practices throughout all business operations. As a company that advocates for LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), from forests to the final products, they work diligently to achieve 100% recovery and use of raw materials during manufacturing, including sawdust, chips, and bark, responsible procurement for each facility, and efficient manufacturing processes that reduce waste and encourages
I recognized quite quickly that customers demonstrate specific proxemics and the reality of the equilibrium theory (or during communication people will find or adjust to a desirable space). I noticed all four space managing distances of that Edward Hall, twelve feet or greater being public distance, four to twelve feet being social distance, eighteen inches to four feet being personal distance, and zero to eighteen inches being intimate distance. For instance us employees communicate with each other at a personal distance same when we communicate with customers, but I did observe that customers communicate with other customers at a social distance instead. In regards to the equilibrium theory, with all the noise happening at Home Depot (saws cutting lumber, registers beeping, and forklifts moving) both the customers and employees will adjust or find that desirable space mainly in cause to our momentary loss of hearing or when taking a customer to find the specific aisle or product that
Stan Eales’ thought-provoking diction adds a disquiet feel to the satirical cartoon by having the character make positive references towards pollution while being ironically surrounded by waste. Eales seems to be inferring that the speaker in the cartoon is a wealthy CEO of a business whose corporation is harming the environment. It seems strange that the character is comfortable with what his business is doing to the surrounding area, but Eales insinuate that he is, in fact, not at all comfortable with the harm he is doing. The character shows slight distress by saying: “Think of it not as pollution…”. He looks unbothered but this quote shows that he hides his discomfort by reminding himself that his employment allows him to be prosperous
This could affect the way people do their job as they are being distracted by the noise. As for the chair, it could cause long term damage to the person’s body as they are not seated correctly • The aircon is dripping water: this is dangerous as water could leak onto an electrical cable in the air con which could trigger an electrical shock among an individual in close proximity to the air con. • Audit boxes still in office: anyone could fall over the box as they are walking around the office. • There are a lot of cables from the new computer installation that are getting under people 's feet. Sarah knocked a plug out the other day with her foot: Sara could trip and fall leading to an injury depending on the way she falls down.
The environment I chose to observe was a Freshman residence hall common room within Millenium Hall. The common room has a five piece couch and chair set that can be easily moved and reoriented. During my observation period the furniture was oriented in an L shape facing a 48 inch panasonic television. The specific area would play host to the floor during the NFC championship. The Philadelphia Eagles are playing in the championship game so a large floor gathering was scheduled.
For this reason, the people created for the purpose of this cartoon try to rephrase the negative idea of pollution into a more positive topic regarding prosperity and progress. Their euphemism of pollution only tries to cover up its severe aspects and characteristics and not confront them. All things considered, the cartoonist desired to bring attention to this issue while stating the hypocrisy of corporations as they claim to be improving society when, in fact, they are only bringing harm to nature and to the environment. By creating this cartoon, he has stated his opinion on the matter as he implies how he yearns to stop pollution and the corporations that contaminate the atmosphere with their toxic gases and
Just thinking of the peace and quiet that can occur without these people is already relaxing. The peace and quiet that occurs can make the world an overall happier place. Also, everyone will be in less pain because people will have a fewer number of headaches. The number of headaches that people give just by being loud won’t have to be an issue anymore. Just imagine having a pounding sound of a piercing voice in a person’s everyday life go away.

What is occupational deafness? Occupational loss of hearing is defined as damage to the inner ear when noise and vibrations from work area equipment or other sources reach above the safe levels. Repeated exposure to loud noise or music, over a long time, may cause loss of hearing. How do occupational deafness happen?
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.
• 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
