Environmental_Pollution


 * 1) most responsible for the pollution probolem today?
 * 2) Would you support laws that __require__ citizens to take action against pollution (i.e. only drive hybrid cars, recycle, etc)? Why or why not?
 * 3) Would you support a law that required businesses to take action against pollution, even if it means prices would rise on certain products? Why or why not?

1. When i researched the different types of pollution i found 3 different types. The first is sound pollution which is probably the last one that would come to mind. Sound pollution is defined as unwanted noise in the air.The second type is Wa**Environmental Pollution & Acid Rain**

It is also the result of air pollution. Acid rain is bad because many of the chemicals being produced are harmful to humans and the environment. http://www.ypte.org.uk/docs/factsheets/env_facts/acid_rain.html > 3. The main three chemical pollutants found in air pollution are carbon monoxide, particular matter, and nirogent oxide. Alot of chemical polution comes from an over show of sun light. Some other secondary pollutants include ozone, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide. [|http://www.ace.mmu.ac.uk/eae/Air_Quality/]Older/Air_Pollution_Chemistry.html > 6. There are many poisons in the enviroment that can affect your body in many different ways, these poisons go directly to your lungs and damage them,even your brain can be affected. http://eco-web.com/editorial/060130.html > 5. Some effects of environmental pollutions are that environmental toxins can actually effect the reproductive systems of humans, plants, and animals. Studies have shown that in recent years the environmental pollution has gone up and toxins in the air are lowering the sperm counts in males. And there has been an increase in genital cancer.

I would most likely support a law that required businesses to take action against pollution. It would depend on what would get raised in price and how much it would be. I'm sure that if some law got passed raising the price of gas to $6 a gallon people wouldn't be happy. I'm also sure that people would be happy about pollution being stopped though. So, that is kind of a 50-50 thing. > > 7. I think that some of the people in the world are responible for the pollution today.Because they either don't care or don't relize how them throwing things in the water or ground could effect the earth. > 8. I would support this law because it can help people live longer lives and also be new ways of life. People need to take action asap because the pollutin is getting worst and worst. We need to not litter, recycle, create machines to stop pollution and just improve the world. > > 8. I would support the laws that require citizens to take actions against pollution. I would support it because I want clean air to breath and not as much trash in the streets. Driving a hybrid car would decreese air pollution. If you recycle then it will be easier to seperate and can be reused. > 7. I know that people are part of the reason forpollution today and they need to take action. They can try to make new ways to do things that cause pollution. A development is needed > 9. I would most likely support a law to make businesses act against pollution because even if the prices on products were higher, it would be worth it in the future. The earth's lifespan might even end up being longer. > > 7. I think that everyone in the world today is responsible for pollution. Everywhere you go, there is always going to be pollution whether it be people driving around, someone smoking a ciggarette, or factories giving off smoke. > > 6. The effects of pollution can be lessened by people starting to take responsibility and doing something. If we began driving electric cars there will be less chemicals released into the air which is causing most of the pollution in the. > > 1. There are many types of environmental pollution. The first is water pollution which is where fresh or ocean waters are filled with chemicals, physical or biological matter material that degrades the quality of the water and it hurts all the organisms that live in the water. There is also thermo pollution which is the discharge of heat via energy into cooling water or nearby waterways. The main source of this thermo pollution is fossil fuel and nuclear electric generating facilities. Another type of pollution is land pollution which is degration of Earth's land surface like litering and mineral exploition. The last type is air pollution which is caused by power and heat generation, burning of solid waste, industrial process,and transportation. his pollution endangers human health and other living organisms.
 * 1) What are the different types of environmental pollution?
 * 2) What is Acid rain and what causes it? Why is it bad?
 * 3) What is the chemistry of pollution? (i.e. Why is pollution harmful to the environment? What types of chemicals are involved?)
 * 4) In what ways are the different types of pollution made?
 * 5) What are some of the effects of environmental pollution on humans? On animals and plants?
 * 6) How can the effects of pollution be reveresed or lessened? What can humans do to solve the problem?
 * 7) Who do you think is the ste/Water pollution. This is caused by people throwing their trash in ocean, lakes, and rivers. It makes for an unsuitable environment for us, as well as the aquatic life. The third and final type is Air pollution. It causes health problems and a deterioration in the o-zone layer. All of the causes of air polution are not human caused. Dust and smoke from the environment can also be natural causes. http://www.paryavaranmitra.com/pollutiontypes.htm
