the maintenance of life. A complex relationship exists between meteorology, air pollution and associated human health outcomes. Recently published report indicated that the number of the people suffering from lung cancer have increased to 10-11 from 8 people per one lac of the population in New Delhi (SAFAR, ITM, New Delhi). The growth in civilization and industrial activities has caused a number of environmental problems. For decades, large quantities of pollutants have been discharged into the environment
This paper discusses whose responsibility to protect the environment. Environmental pollution has become increasingly worse. Certainly, individuals have the right and ability take action to resolve these environmental problems. On the other hands, government had authority to protect environment, to support their citizen to keep the environment cleaner. The paper concludes by strongly affirm both governments and individuals must play their part in looking after the environment. It is not the government’s
Introduction Pollution is an unwanted change in the environment caused by the introduction of harmful materials or the production of harmful conditions (Botkin & Keller, 2014). Urban air pollution is basically the collection of pollutants created by cities (http://en.cyberdodo.com/files/cyberdodo-and-urban-pollution/1.html). Air quality in cities is the result of a complex interaction between natural and anthropogenic environmental conditions. Air pollution in cities is a serious environmental problem especially
different between four models. Based on their belief, there would be differences on their values towards nature, resources use, and policy making. First of all, according to Kirkpatrick, nature is only valued on what it advantage to human in the pollution control approach level. This model focus on market-led growth, and exploit the resources for develop. In this level, it
who depicted the problem of environmental pollution in China, which the country is facing in the recent times. Though at first my topic was on to compare China's economy to other big economies in the world. On my first consultation with my teacher, I changed my focus and formulated the question differently, since it would have been difficult to compare the economies of two different countries in such a short time. I knew that China has been having a lot of environmental problems, as I had read many
POLLUTION 1. What do you think is the biggest problem facing our environment nowadays (in Spain/in the world)? In my view, currently, the biggest problem facing our environment could be the pollution, the air contaminated. This is produced, in general, for the fumes from cars, factories, etc. 2. Is pollution a problem here in Spain? Yes, above all in the big cities such as Madrid or Barcelona, and, in general, in the north of Spain where there are many factories because this is an industrially
lot of havoc in the coastal environment of Nigeria in particular and has been the major source of environmental air pollution in Nigeria. Oil exploration, production, and refinement in Nigeria has also resulted in various environmental and ecological problems that range from oil spills, gas flares, habitat destruction, air and water pollution, and land degradation. Also, a major cause of oil pollution in that same region is also to a great extent, from the activities of illegal oil bunkering and illegal
water pollution in India comes from three main sources: domestic sewage, industrial effluents and run off from activities such as agriculture. Major industrial sources of pollution in India include the fertilizer plants, refineries, pulp and paper mills, leather tanneries, metal plating and other chemical industries. Levels of solid wastes increased in rivers and lakes and other water systems are also heavily polluted due to the intrusion of solid wastes. Largely because of widespread pollution, access
On daily basis we are constantly being bombarded with chemicals; from the food we eat, water we drink and especially the air we breathe. The latter is due to air pollution. On a larger scale the atmosphere is the planets respiratory system; major pollutants from the earth are captured and held in the atmosphere. The atmosphere has other functions such as; protecting earth through absorbing dangerous ultraviolet solar radiation, although most of the solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface is
Factory, Gatitu Tea Factory, Githambo Tea Factory just to mention a few. Before any tea factory is put up, its significance to conduct environmental impact assessment and impact management. Its aim is to identify potential environmental impacts associated with tea factories and try to reduce or/and prevent the occurrence of such impacts. 2.2 POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL
