Due to water pollution, the marine eco-system is affected adversely leading to a drastic decrease in the life expectancy of the marine organisms. Accumulation of Waste is probably the most visible form of pollution, with over a billion metric tonnes of solid wastes being disposed off each year. If left unchecked, the accumulated solid wastes start decomposing leading
Water Pollution Introduction: Water pollution is an ever growing concern within our environment. We as human are the main contributors towards water pollution, which is ironic as we depend on water for our very survival but yet we still take it for granted. Water is basically life. What is water pollution? Water pollution is referred to as the contamination of water bodies such as oceans, rivers, lakes, aquifers and groundwater. This occurs in water when pollutants are either indirectly or directly
Secondary pollutants are not emitted directly to the atmosphere but are formed when primary pollutants react in the atmosphere (Green Facts, 2004). Unlike the primary pollutants that are emitted directly to the atmosphere, secondary pollutants are a combination of gases with oxygen and sunlight. The secondary pollutants can be classified into different forms of pollutants. The examples includes: Ozone, acid rain, photochemical smog, nitrogen dioxide, sulphuric acid, these are discussed in the essay
Mexico or Iraq, still has 90 cases of oil spill since 1987(GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY AND TRADING CO.,LTD). The most remarkable case is the ship accident between Formosa on Liberia ship and Petrolimex 01 ship at Gianh Roi-Vung Tau bay. It caused pollution to an entire marine ecosystem in Vung Tau. Those evidences show that oil spill can happen anywhere that carelessness of human operation exists. 3:What causes oil spill?(DEPARTMENT OF NATURUAL RESOURCES ANDENVIRONMENT OF BINH DINH PROVINCE) a.

Background What is soil erosion? Soil erosion is one of the most important environmental problem in the world because it associated with agriculture in tropical and semi-arid areas. Erosion can lead to environmental damage through sedimentation, pollution and flooding. Furthermore, eroded soils may lose about 75-80% of the soil carbon content and this eventually will cause emission of carbon to the atmosphere (R.C.P Morgan, 2005). This environmental effect has been environmental concern such as in
There are people in the world that make efforts to save the environment, but their efforts aren’t enough to solve this global issue.
