Noise Pollution Caused by Cars Name: Institution: Course: Tutor: Date: Noise from vehicles may be caused by vehicle repairs, alarms fitted in cars, hoots and refrigerators parked in vehicles. There are a number of strategies that are employed to reduce the effects of noise pollution caused by vehicles and promote a positive behavior while using vehicles. This includes: legislations on high noise levels that aim at reducing noise and taking stern actions on those who violate the laws. This is done
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
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Nigeria has been suffering the negative environmental consequences of oil development since oil was discovered in Nigeria (Badejo and Nwilo 2008). The growth of the country’s petroleum industry combined with an increasing growth rate in human population and a lack of enforcement of environmental regulations and commitment on the part of government has led to substantial damages to Nigeria’s environment, especially in
Noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology, which could use to obtain the basic necessities, to a modern development of complex technological. This has resulted to noise pollution from various anthropological activities especially in the city area. Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting
Account of Urban Sprawl and its Environmental Costs and GHG Emissions Introduction Today, population growth has never been increasing so rapidly. Hence, there has been a continuous urban population agglomeration growth. Particularly in the Global South, many researchers have been projecting the world's total urban population would double by 2050. Consequently, challenges arise as urban growth increases. It is important to consider many aspects such as air and water pollution, providing adequate services
at an exponential rate, from 1.7 million tons in 1950 to 311 million tons in 2014 (Kwon, et al., 2018). Plastic pollution in the marine environment initially started to gain attention in the 1970s (Xanthos & Walker, 2017; Karlsson, Arneborg, Broström, Almroth, Gipperth, & Hassellöv, 2018; Čulin & Bielić, 2016). But it was only until more recent decades that the issue of plastic pollution has been identified and regarded as a global problem. Due to its ambiguity of potential harm, scientist and civilians
Air has been a constant factor that all living beings are dependant on, but while there seems to be an almost limitless amount of the clean air that surrounds the environment, it has slowly contaminated from pollution. Throughout history, air pollution has been a health concern that continues to plague the globe. One of the most significant examples was the Great Smog of London. According to the History Channel, In London, on December 5, 1952, fog within the city began to mix with sulfurous fumes
Over the past decades noise pollution has received increased attention and Studies has reported that noise pollution is one of the environmental hazard affecting human, the effects ranges from annoyance to difficulty in falling asleep, which latter leads to high blood pressure (WHO 2005; Ugwuanyi et al., 2005; Den Boer and Schroten 2007; Tetreault et al 2013 ). Although, noise pollution has been one of environmental concerns as early as the inception of civilization when man was introduced to technology
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
