Air pollution

Air pollution is a common term describing the extent at which physical, biological, and chemical substances may contaminate natural air condition. Introduction of particulates with the potential of causing harm is one of the simplest ways of describing air pollution. The processes leading to contamination of clean air mainly consist of natural and human activities. Nonetheless, the presence of harmful chemical substances categorically described as pollutants always present unhealthier conditions capable of triggering diseases to human life. It is because of this demanding concern that the topic of air pollution must addressed  based on the cause and effect perspective.  The cause and effect study of air pollution is best achieved through analyzing the indoors and outdoors pollution sources while focusing on the enormousness of how the effects alters natural conditions.

Artificially, a number of human activities are responsible for air pollution. One of the most common sources pertaining to this is combustion of fossil fuels. As substances such as coal and petroleum products burns, treacherous gases are released into the atmosphere. In particular, these gaseous compounds amount to enormous destruction such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides with carcinogenic effects. Equally, agricultural activities such as application of insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides to firm crops are among the serous causative agents of pollution (Wang, Lawrence K, Hung and Pereira 238). Industrial operations qualify as human sources of pollution based on degree and composition of effluents that depletes high quality atmospheric air. A substantial amount of pollution is also caused by mining operation whereby in this case dusts and minerals suspend in the atmosphere.

Naturally, pollution amounts from uncontrollable activities such as biological processes. Natural catastrophes leading to air pollution are often unpredictable and unquantifiable from catastrophic events like volcanic eruptions that produces gases and immeasurable quantity of smoke. Similarly, the same occurs from natural anthropogenic anaerobic respiration that sources greenhouse gases namely ammonia and carbon monoxide. Conversely, .............

Air Pollution

Since Industrial revolution began over 300 years ago there have been numerous negative effects on the environment.Pollution,which is the introduction of foreign products or substances into the environment,has almost become a norm with which most countries have to deal with.There are various types of pollution these include;Air pollution,water pollution,noise pollution and soil pollution.Among these types of pollution the one that has caused the greatest environmental problem is air pollution.

Air pollution refers to the contamination of the atmosphere or air that disturbs the natural chemical and composition of air .The air we breathe normally has very exact chemical composition in which 99% of it comprises nitrogen,oxygen,inert gases and water vapor.When air pollution occurs these percentages are either reduced by combining with other gases to form harmful gases or other emissions are added to the atmosphere. Air pollution was not a problem in the 1950’s and 1960’s although it existed but due to its steady increase over the years, it has been a global concern. This paper seeks to answer the question how human activities in an increasingly industrialized and globalized world are the main reason for the main cause of environment degradation.

One of the major reasons isindustrialization. The rapid growth of industries across the world has increased the levels ofartificial emissions from the production of various goods.It is also important to note that air pollution does not occur due to a magnitude of emission but by concentration of emission in areas where people live and work.This emissions increase as the use of energy in the industries increases.Most industries used coal but this has reduced as new legislations came over the years to regulate the emissions by various industries, this though still has not reduced the emissions as petroleum is still being used.Coal and petroleum products contain sulfur compounds and their combustion emits sulfur dioxide,sulfur oxide when released into the air will cause an imbalance and certain reactions that may result to acid rain.This then means that since more countries are becoming more and more industrialized the chances of the environment even being affected more will increase if strict legislation is not passed.(Rao,1989)

There has been rapid economic development in most countries over the last century.This has been greatly been characterized by a better transport system in most countries.This then means that more fuel is bein.............
