Individual ethics, morals, values and influences in an environment may influence what is considered an environmental risk. Environmental research in communities, organizations, interpersonal relationships and cultures and his or her relationship with factors in the environment can be complex and often misunderstood. Ambient variables such as lighting, temperature, sounds, building architects, and air quality all have a role in every community. The biggest most often talked about environmental risk is global warming: global warming occurs when carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from pollution such as emissions from vehicles, businesses (e.g. chemical companies), anything basically released into the atmosphere can cause effects on the environment.
The International Headache Society developed a system that classifies migraines as one of two types: migraine occurring with an aura (formerly called "classic"), and migraine occurring without an aura (formerly called "common"). People suffering from migraines may experience a migraine several times a week or once every couple of years. Migraines may be so severe that they interfere with a person's ability to work and carry on normal activities. The precise cause of migraines is unknown. Among the suspected causes are environmental triggers, genetic predisposition, dietary triggers and physiological triggers such as menstruation.

Structures are damaged or destroyed. The loss of trees heightens the risk of significant erosion and landslides. In the short term, fire can adversely affect industry, tourism and property values. However, some of the long-term effects are beneficial for the environment and the animals and plants that live there. To evaluate the impact of wildfires
There are no official autopsy reports from American doctors claiming that victims were gassed. All autopsies showed that were no signs of being subjected to a gas chamber. (thorn 30) Thorn also claims that memoirs of Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower and many other political authorities, never mention genocide or mass killings by the Germans. The gas chambers were believed to be powered by gasoline or diesel fuel. Thorn points out that these fuels produce 7-12% carbon monoxide.
With the ecosystem disruptions, the lands flooded by the dam can often cover sacred lands to American Indians. Even though the United States claims that water use on reservations is a priority dam water usage for non-Indians has caused even greater discontent for American Indians by creating a water shortage on reservations, changes in natural resources used by Indians, a depressed economic state on reservations, limitations on water rights they are entitled to, and the protection of these rights under federal law. To understand the problems American Indians face with dams and water rights one must know what their rights are. The American Southwest water rights battle has been a long struggle for American Indians. These debates began as early as the settlers moving westward.
Furthermore, US scientists have found that ground and surface water are contaminated during accidental spills and leaks. An example of one of these substances is Endocrine-disrupting chemicals, or EDCs, which interfere with the functioning of the endocrine system and can cause infertility,
As I was reading the essay, I noticed the reoccurring theme of information and knowledge. This is perhaps the biggest example of “Cause and Effect” within the entire text. If people knew the harmful impact their actions had on the environment what would be the effect? If people were knowledgeable about our gratuitous consumption of earth’s resources we could provide a sustainable future for generations to come. But until then, we are digging a hole that may eventually be too deep to
The Bp Oil Spill greatly impacted the environment teaching the companies to strengthen the approach to preparedness and response planning. Planning and strengthening the approach to such accidents allows effective response to the situation though the aid of tools and people. Moreover, an understanding of the environmental and social-economic issues builds on response planning. For instance, more than 600 staff from 45 different countries has conducted workshops to better the understanding of environmental impacts and the enhancement of on-site oil spill responsive teams. Thus, accidents such as the BP Oil Spill teach the society to be more prepared and cautious of the impacts hazardous resources pose on the
Carson provides rational examples to show the harm that pollution is causing to the earth and pests. Carson states, “Can any one believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on this earth without making it unfit for all life?” (605). Rachel Carson is trying to prove that spraying chemicals is not relevant because it causes harm to nature and anything else that comes in contact with the chemicals itself. Carson uses this scientific observation to prove that the cycle is continuous; all it is doing is causing more harm. As is it perceived, Carson feels passionately toward the environment and wants her audience to feel the same way.
