Not exact matches

Marshalling convincing scientific data, they tell us that the environmental degradation caused by massive pollution of air water and land, threatens the very life of earth — fast depletion of non renewal resources, indeed of species themselves, the thinning of the ozone layer that exposes all living creatures to the danger of radiation, the build up of gases creating the greenhouse effect, increasing erosion by the sea — all these are brought out through their research.

Some researchers have pinned the blame on indoor air pollution and a study last year showed that when outdoor ozone levels rose, the number of people inside suffering from so - called «sick building syndrome» also increased.

Increasing levels of ozone, in turn, trap more heat, exacerbating the urban heat island effect: Cities are normally about five to 10 degrees hotter than surrounding suburbs because asphalt and cement absorb sunlight, generating a vicious cycle of escalating pollution and heat.

Ozone doesn't just live high in Earth's atmosphere; near the ground, it contributes to smog, and ground - level ozone has gradually increased in most places because of industrial pollution from vehicles and fossil - fuel burOzone doesn't just live high in Earth's atmosphere; near the ground, it contributes to smog, and ground - level ozone has gradually increased in most places because of industrial pollution from vehicles and fossil - fuel burozone has gradually increased in most places because of industrial pollution from vehicles and fossil - fuel burning.

The resultant increase in the ozone pollution has brought all the environmental efforts to a standstill.

The burning of agricultural residue causes severe pollution in land, water and air and contributes to increased ozone levels and climate change in the long term.

Similar negative effects occur with worsening air pollution — higher levels of ground - level ozone smog and other pollutants that increase with warmer temperatures have been directly linked with increased rates of respiratory and cardiovascular disease — food production and safety — warmer temperatures and varying rainfall patterns mess up staple crop yields and aid the migration and breeding of pests that can devastate crops — flooding — as rising sea levels make coastal areas and densely - populated river deltas more susceptible to storm surges and flooding that result from severe weather — and wildfires, which can be ancillary to increased heat waves and are also responsible for poor air quality (not to mention burning people's homes and crops).

Every increase in ethanol use as fuel will increases the amount of ozone pollution in the United States.

Future climate change may cause either an increase or a decrease in background tropospheric ozone, due to the competing effects of higher water vapour and higher stratospheric input; increases in regional ozone pollution are expected due to higher temperatures and weaker circulation.

In addition to causing acid rain, these chemicals are linked with increased water pollution and destruction of the ozone layer.

High ozone levels downstream of pollution sources can cause elevated OH radical concentrations, which in turn increases the concentration of condensable species and thus the potential for nucleation.

Since a large body of evidence links pollution with poor health, and health is an important part of human capital, efforts to reduce pollution could plausibly be viewed as an investment in human capital and thus a tool for promoting economic growth...

The controversy surrounding environmental policy has, perhaps surprisingly, arisen not so much from the issue of conserving non-renewable commodities such as fossil fuels or industrial metals, but from the increasing scarcity or overuse of renewable natural resources, causing problems such as water and air pollution, or damage to global commons such as the atmosphere or the ozone layer.
