It also have some very harmful effects on humans and nature. It creates large amount of pollution, destroys the nature and also increases the diseases in human societies. As in documentary about “The Ethics of Fracking” by Marleen troy PhD (Environmental Engineer), Bernard Prausak and Rabbi Mordechai Liebling.
Carson feels strongly and passionately about the environment and we can tell this when she says “Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life” (Carson 752). With her strong beliefs she tries to make people understand that the chemicals that they use to kill certain pests exceed that; not only do they reach other animals but they can also reach our human population. “They should not be called insecticides, but biocides” (Carson 752). Carson connects
West Virginia Chemical Spill Effecting Our Environment Industrialization has greatly impacted our Earth. In the article Federal Grand Jury Investigates West Virginia Chemical Spill, the authors, Drew Griffin and David Fitzpatrick, emphasize the damage the chemical spill did to our planet. Many people were left with no water to use and the environment was greatly damaged by the spill. Chemical plants allow our society to develop some service such as water, electricity or disposal services. Conversely, Chemical plants can contaminate the pure water or create harmful diseases to humans and the Earth.
Atmospheric Pollution Environmental Science SCI 275 University of Phoenix July 29, 2011 BY Reigard U. Brown Sr. The paper that I am writing will be about one of the problems we have in the world is Atmospheric pollution. Atmospheric pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter that cause harm or discomfort to humans and living organisms in our atmosphere. There are many different ways that air pollution can be omitted into the air we breathe like pollution that comes from house cleaning products, older model cars, energy plants, and forests fire.
Such remedies such as recycling, purification, treatment, and management of wastes can diminish the issues of a detrimental environment. Air pollution is also caused by technology and human influence. Similar to water damage, air pollution is derived from chemicals and toxins which are released into the atmosphere. Thus, the toxins begin to reveal the depletion of natural resources. Fuel combustion and automobile transportation are two large factors of air pollution.
The wind blows these acidic gases into building, cars, homes and trees. Water that runs of these buildings adds acid to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than regular rain. Acid rain is measured by a pH scale, the lower the number, the more acidic, Vic versa. The effects of acid rain are, damages of forest soils, fish and other living organisms, it also affects lakes, streams and causes aluminum to be highly toxic to species and aquatic organisms. In North America acid rain affects the Adirondack and the Catskill Mountain in the state
Many of the aquatic invertebrates are responsible for keeping the ecosystem clean by feeding on litters. Extinction of theses invertebrates would totally disrupt the balance of the ecosystem. The aim of this study is to bring awareness about the harmful impact global warming has on the local aquatic invertebrates and on the ecosystem at a global scale. The hypothesis for this study is that the biotic diversity of the slow moving water and fast moving water are driven by abiotic factors. To support this hypothesis, three predictions were made.
When he got more and more involved with the tribune during these times as a police reporter, Riis worked and wrote about the some of the most dangerous slums of the city. “The slum is the measure of civilization”, he said. Jacob Riis believes that the slums of a city is what defines it, and measures out the potential that the city had; the worst the slum, the worst the civilization. Through his own experiences in the poorhouses, and witnessing the conditions of the poor in the city slums, he decided to make a difference for them. Jacob Riis wanted to show the world that the United States had
SO2, sulfur dioxide effects our trees and water systems and is the prominent cause of acid rain. Mercury- when Mercury enters our water systems it becomes harmful to our ecology (fish, plants, animals etc) and effects anyone who consumes part of the food chain. Nitrogen
Abstract San Francisco Bay Area water pollution is a serious problem. The sources of pollution include mercury contamination, pesticide pollution, and storm drain runoff. Water runoff is causing oil, trash, pesticides, and murcury to travel from urban and industrial areas into the bay. Mercury is a harmful neurotoxin that is harmful for developing fetuses and young children. Pesticides are used to kill unwanted pests, but are polluting the water with toxic chemicals that can have large halflifes, which means they stay in the water many years causing harm to plants and animals who depend on fresh water to survive.
