There are so many picture of pollution such as: Air, Noise, Water, Soil, Radioactive, light and visual pollutions etc. Pollution phenomenon is a serious environmental disaster that has a lot of causes and effects in every field of the human’s life, its dangers couldn’t be known so
Pollution “Ours, a water planet. The ocean covers 71 percent of the surface of the globe, and it constitutes over 90 percent of all habitable space on Earth. It’s total volume is around 300 million cubic miles and its weight is approximately 1.3 million million million tons. No wonder that Arthur C. Clarke, scientist and writer, once remarked that it was ‘inappropriate to call this planet Earth, when clearly it is ocean.* * (Mulvaney 28). Ocean pollution is growing out of control, and the
The Government’s Ethical Role of Regulating Pollution and Environmental Degradation The vast economies, better living standards and the fight against poverty would not have gone this far were it not for the industrial growth and its pollution in general. The government as the main driver of social change should play a key role in ensuring the environment is not polluted, and resources are well taken care of. The environment we live in is gradually changing for the worst, and the government
particles and gas contaminates available in the earth's surface. In addition, air pollution is categorized in two parts indoor and outdoor air pollution. The indoor air pollution includes household products, gasses, lead, formaldehyde, asbestos, etc. Similarly, outdoor air pollution involves carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, tobacco smoke, etc. Moreover, there are different sources of air pollution such as "Stationary Sources" which involves the power plants, dry cleaners, factories
Introduction Pollution is the contamination of air, land, or water by the discharge harmful substances (EPA, 2014). This refers to unwarranted volumes of waste that contains very harmful toxins/poisons that are released into the environment affecting air, water, soil, and animals. Humans cause majority of the pollution. Industrial factories that make items that we use in our day-to-day lives also produce waste. With the population nearly doubling in the 1800s early1900s and the introduction of the

The ocean is very mysterious, there is much knowledge that the world does not even know about the ocean. Historically, ocean pollution has always been a tremendous problem but each year it increases drastically. Trash is really hurting not only the ocean but also ocean life environment. Ships can release oil spills into the ocean that can drastically hurt animal life. There are many of organizations attempting to help stop all of this trash from affecting more the world.

Salt Pollution As awareness for pollution increases, other forms of pollution are defined. Almost everyone knows about toxic waste and carbon dioxide pollution, but not many people have heard of salt pollution. Salt pollution has been on the increase since the evolution of the automobile. With more pressure on government agencies to keep the highway clear and safe, an increase in the use of salt has developed. It is important to understand why salt is used and how it work as well as the environmental

Light Pollution The innovation of man brings with it both positive and negative impacts to the environment. However, in most cases, it is when the negative consequences become apparent that creativity of humans is called into action. The discovery of energy-saving LED lighting was a masterstroke that increased the durability of light bulbs while only using a fraction of the amount of energy used by the orange sodium lights. However, the steady increase in the use of the blue-white lighting is causing
Pollution is a growing issue in the world and is the major cause that contributes to many environmental problems. What is usually classified as pollution, what kind of pollution is present in the world, and what the people are doing to deal with this pollution issue in the world. There are several problems with world pollution that are associated with global warming and include waste disposal, water pollution, and air pollution. These things are usually caused by people on the planet who produce
the ocean. That's why the issue of ocean pollution is so important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in our life, without it we would surely become extinct. People seem to think that since the ocean is so large and vast, we can dump as much waste as we'd like into it and it will never have an effect on us. However, since we've been polluting the ocean as far back as Roman times, the evidence of ocean pollution becoming a major problem is all too clear
DID THE HUMAN BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RIVER POLLUTION IN MALAYSIA? INTRODUCTION In Malaysia, rivers are the main sources of the water supplies to the human. Water quality is focused to the chemical, biology and the physical of the water body. In fact, rivers are biologically productive and diverse environment in the natural form.

Dahr Jamail’s “Ocean of Pollution” first appeared in the magazine Aljazeera on June 18, 2012. In this article Jamail reports with various marine biologists, oceanographers, and others who study the oceans about their research and experience with ocean pollution. This article aims to convince the readers that there is an ocean pollution controversy in this world that goes unnoticed; and, it really focuses on making people aware of this particular crisis by providing information and statistics.

Pollution is referred to the presence in the atmosphere of any chemical, physical or biological agents that can be harmful to one’s health, well-being, animal, or plant life.(Vallero,37). As a whole in the United States we are the causes of pollution in this country. There are many things we can avoid doing in hopes of living in a cleaner environment. This degradation of the environment by an external contaminant can cause damage to the everyday life of human beings and alter the conditions of survival
countries such as Korea, Japan, and China’s pollution directly correlates to the effectiveness and direction the government turns. The Korean government has taken many progressive steps in order to lessen the pollution over the years. While the Japanese government in response to the nuclear crisis after the 2011 tsunami, dumped 2 million gallons of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean (Yang 23). The Chinese government has not done much to stop pollution and is named by World Bank in 2007, 16 of
