Assignment 3: Environmental Issues and the Industrial Revolution * Identify three of the most environmentally negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution and justify your choices. Air Pollution: According to the reading Hiwarale, 2015, said, “The pollution that has resulted from factories involves not only airborne emissions but land and water pollution as well. The primary issue resulting from pollution and carbon emissions is that of global warming. As the temperature rises, the glaciers are melting and oceans are rising. More animal species are becoming endangered or extinct as a result of global warming.” “The carbon emissions, pollution and human health problems that have resulted directly from the Industrial Revolution’s accomplishments have only been disastrous for the world environment.

Genetics is the biggest role in the make-up of redheads. The pigment of their skin tends to not darken with sun exposure.
The Co2 becomes warm waves of air, which are then warming the globe. The car exhaust travels up into the atmosphere and leads to depletion of the ozone layer. In years to come, global warming will melt glaciers and the water level will rise and cause flooding. Warmer temperatures could decrease the fish population. Animals that depend on fish for food, like polar bears and penguins could starve.
What is a climate flip-flop? Climate change is popularly understood to mean Greenhouse Warming, which, it is predicted, will cause flooding, severe windstorms, and killer heat waves. But warming could lead, paradoxically, to drastic cooling -- a catastrophe that could threaten the survival of civilization. As William H. Calvin writes in “The Great Climate Flip-Flop”, https://www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/issues/98jan/climate.htm”. We should be concerned about this phenomenon because we never know when the climate may change again it may be cold one minute then next it may be so hot that it may be unbearable to stand.
- The overexposure to ultraviolet radiation is “the primary environmental risk factor in the development of UV-related adverse health effects, which include diseases of the eye, immune suppression, and skin cancers” (Goddard News, n.d.). All of the effects have a high level of importance, because two of them can lead a person to death if they are not treated properly and detected soon. UV radiation can also cause premature skin aging, making skin more wrinkled and rough. People need to understand that if a person overexposes to UV
2013).Pharmaceutical companies sometimes place active chemicals and waste into groundwater sources, in which almost all of the groundwater may be untreated which most likely cause contamination. (Herber, 2002). Abstract: Increase in the emissions of carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuels is the largest cause of environmental down grading resulting not only in global warming but also causing acid rain which alters the pH balance of ground water. Water is a universal solvent; however, its dissolving properties are very sensitive to changes in temperature and pH. Global economic growth has, unfortunately,
The economic growth has put too much stress on the nature. There are many types of environmental damage, and Mckibben examines climate change in the chapter. He points out that climate change is not some future specter and it’s already emerging as the biggest problem the world faces. He also insists that the richer people get, the dirtier the air is, and this is indeed one of the environmental destruction that he described in the chapter. Another destruction that he talks about is the global warming.
Industrial decisions, such as the addition of lead to paints, dyes, and gasoline, have created an epidemic of lead poisonings. Lead is a naturally occurring substance and can be found in organic and inorganic forms. Lead is a reproductive toxicant detrimental to human semen quality. Decreased sperm count, motility, acid phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase, fructose, surface reaction of sperm head DNA besides increasing abnormal sperms was reported in occupational exposure of lead in printing press workers in India. Higher lead level lowers sperm’s ability to bind and fertilize the egg.
If a human inhales ground-level ozone it can cause chest pain, throat irritation, and congestion. It also affects the wild life as the animals that eat certain leaves and plant which can have problems producing food. Chlorofluorocarbons are normally found in Freon, halons, methyl bromide, methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. The damage CFCs causes to our ozone layer is very dangerous especially since the ozone layer protects us from ultra violet radiation from the sun. If we continue to dispose of these chemicals in correctly it will continue hurt us especially by affecting the brain, eyes, heart, kidney and the reproductive system if large amount is exposed to
Examples of these changes he mentions are the “Arctic ice cap is melting”, Greenland’s glaciers are “thinning”, the oceans are becoming more “acidic” and “warmer” which is lowering the survival rate of several species such as coral. A higher temperature in the earth’s oceans means “the greatest storms on our planet, hurricane and cyclones, have become more powerful.” (McKibben 12-45). This is what people need to take notice in because this is what will affect us humans in an extremely negative way. Yes chemical can be harming but changing our environment to what we depend on can cause
