Air Pollution causing Global warming

                Air Pollution causing Global Warming        Global warming pollution harms people, wildlife, and our environment. Global warming, also known as climate change, is caused by a blanket of pollution that traps heat around the earth. This pollution comes from cars, factories, homes, and power plants that burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal, natural gas, and gasoline. It is important to care about this matter because we are the once creating this poor air quality, we are breathing in. We must understand how we contribute to the destruction of the environment.      Global warming pollution knows no boundaries. It enters the atmosphere, spreads across the globe, and traps heat around the earth for 50-200 years after it is emitted. That is why we need to reduce global warming pollution now, because our children, and their children, will still feel the effects of global warming for years to c...

Air Pollution in Africa

                                                                                              Air Pollution in Africa     According to a study conducted by Global Policy, air pollution in Africa is causing more premature deaths than unsafe water or malnutrition and could potentially develop a health and climate crisis similar to those seen China and India. We should care about this issue because poor air quality can kill thousands of people when proper precautions or measures are not taken to reduce its high levels in Africa. It is imperative to find solutions that will help the people living in Africa because the financial cost to lower the air pollution i...

An Increase in Air Pollution During the Pandemic

    An increase in Air Pollution During the Pandemic   The United States has experienced a decrease in the ozone pollution during the pandemic. Car traffic across the nation was reduced by 40%, but ozone pollution has slightly decreased compared with levels over the past five years. Factories, refineries, power plants and diesel trucks are still dominant sources of pollution in many places. Concern continues to grow because air pollution can lead to death. Even though the pandemic helped decrease the ozone pollution yet manufacturing and automobiles are still contributing to the detrimental of our health. We need to care about these problems because our health is and will continue to be negatively impacted if we do not take the necessary steps to change it. The United States is in the middle of an accidental experiment showing what happens to air pollution when millions of people stop driving. We see clearer air, but the pollution declines are not large, according to ...

Automobiles Polluting the Air

                                                                                                                  How Automobiles continues to Pollution the Air            According to the Article “How much Air Pollution comes from cars” by Linda Brinson, Air pollutants emitted from cars are believed to cause cancer and contribute to such problems as asthma, heart disease, birth defects and eye irritation. Emission from cars elevate the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. At normal levels, greenhouse gases keep some of the sun’s heat in the atmosphere and help warm the Earth. Ma...

Subway System Increasing Air Pollution

                                                                                         Subway System Increasing Air Pollution Individuals traveling on subway system in major US cities are being exposed to unsafe amounts of air pollution, with commuters in New York and New Jersey subjected to the highest levels of pollution, according to researchers. This is major issue because the pandemic has not completely ended, and more and more people are risking their live to make ends mean. Secondly, New York and New Jersey are some of the cities that uses the subway system to commute more than most states in the US. This is increasing the air pollution because the name of trips it has to do on a dai...

There are different types of air pollutants, such as gases, particulates, and biological molecules . According to Environment Protection Agency, the clean air act was passed in 1970 because it has caused serious health proble...

The Negative Impact of Air Pollution in Human Health in the U.S.

                                                       The Negative Impact of Air Pollution in Human Health in the U.S Background       Air pollution refers to the release of pollutants into the air that are detrimental to human health and the planet. This is caused by solid and liquid particles and a variety of gases that are suspended in the air. These particles and gases can come from car and truck exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes, and wildfires. The solid and liquid particles suspended in our air are called aerosols. According to the NASA, any particle that gets picked up into the air or is formed from chemical reactions in the air can be an aerosol. Many aerosols enter the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum and wood. These particles can c...
