Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer
924 wordsA. Who makes up most of the pollution B. Who and what is harmed by pollution Conclusion: We need to use renewable resources and finding uses for waste products instead of creating pollution by throwing them out. Our environment is a crucial part of our lives, and we must learn how to treat it correctly. Without it we would not be living. We need to become more aware of the circumstances that are going to take place if action is not taken. We need to stop making emphasis on what will make us more...

Acid Rain Air Pollution
457 wordsA form of air pollution, currently a subject of controversy because of widespread environmental damage it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to make sulfuric and nitric acids, which then can be carried long distances from their source before they are released by rain. The pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain h...

Parts Per Million Shortness Of Breath
1,183 wordsSmog has been around for a pretty long time, people just knew it as something else. Smog comes from the word smoke and fog, and that's practically what it is. It was a serious problem before, before nature and humans went unharmed in the presence of smog but now it's serious. What does all of this polluted air do to the body? The answer depends on the situation. How long a person is exposed to pollution, the type and concentration, the place, time and day, temperature, weather and more. But one ...

After President Carter introduced tougher toxic dumping regulations for corporations, there was a huge increase in illegal midnight dumpings. Soon, exporting toxic waste to the Third World became a sudden growth industry. While it is true that the Carter administration vetoed these kinds of exports for toxic garbage, the ban was soon withdrawn by the...

Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Gases
827 wordsCarbon dioxide is a gas comprising less than 0. 04 % of the atmosphere. It is used by plants to make, directly or indirectly, all of the food that we eat. Increases in the concentration of carbon dioxide generally increase the growth rate of plants and decrease their water use. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing, mostly as a result of burning of coal, oil, gas and forests. Its concentration may double by the end of the next century. Carbon dioxide also significan...

Acid Rain Acid Deposition
561 wordsWhen thought of acid rain, some people may think of green, burning acid falling from the sky, destroying everything in sight. This may be a bit ridiculous and hard to believe, but as absurd as it sound, it is not far from the truth. Acid deposition has long been a subject of debate because of the widespread environ-mental damage it is responsible for. As one of the major results of air pollution, acid rain can corrode metal and limestone structures, leach important minerals, decreased fertility ...

Sulfur Dioxide Fossil Fuels
346 wordsThe outermost layer of the Earths living environment is the atmosphere, a mixture of gases surrounding the planet. The atmosphere contains a thin layer called ozone, which protects all life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. For most of human history, people had very little effect on the atmosphere. For many thousands of years, humans routinely burned vegetation, causing some intermittent air pollution. In ancient times, the smelting of ores, such as copper ore, released m...

Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide
566 words"Acid rain" is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground, it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees,...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Global Climate Change
772 wordsBush Wont Regulate Carbon Dioxide Updated 7: 30 PM ET March 13, 2001 By SCOTT LINDLAW, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Backing off a campaign pledge, President Bush told Congress Tuesday he will not regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. The decision, outlined in a letter sent to a Republican senator, came after furious lobbying from the coal industry. It was a blow to conservationists who see curbing emissions of such greenhouse gases as key to reducing global warming. The...
