By the late 1980s it became clear that global atmospheric
pollution causing both the greenhouse effect and the hole in the
ozone layer had become critical threats to life on earth (Henderson - Sellers & Blong 1989).
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.
The increased wind speeds seem to be a result of cooling in the upper atmosphere,
caused by the hole in the
ozone layer above the pole, which is of course the result of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)
pollution.
Increases in global temperatures could
cause associated increases in premature deaths related to worsened
ozone and particle
pollution.
Traffic - related
pollution and sunlight can combine to promote the production of
ozone — a powerful asthma trigger — and the stagnant, humid air of heat waves traps particulate matter and other pollutants,
causing them to hang in the air and become more concentrated.
Phloretin CF features a patented synergistic combination of 2 % phloretin, 10 % pure vitamin C (l - ascorbic acid), and 0.5 % ferulic acid for enhanced protection against atmospheric skin aging — environmental damage and premature signs of aging
caused by free radicals from UVA / UVB, infrared radiation (IRA), and
ozone pollution (O3).
PREVENT visible signs of aging with antioxidants which neutralize the damage
caused by atmospheric aggressors, like UVA / UVB, infrared, and
ozone pollution.
This activity includes information about natural and human
caused air
pollution and the effects to our
ozone layer and environment.
Furthermore, trees and bushes planted near schools can be a
cause of natural air
pollution themselves, such as pollen and
ozone.
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.
Increases in global temperatures could
cause associated increases in premature deaths related to worsened
ozone and particle
pollution.
Fred Singer, a true «scientist for hire» who has also claimed that second hand tobacco smoke is not harmful, acid rain is not
caused by
pollution, DDT poses no threat to environment, and CFC's are not affecting the
ozone.
Heartland has also denied
pollution's role in
causing acid rain and the depletion of the
ozone layer, and taken strong stances against the Endangered Species Act and president Obama's healthcare reform.
It found this month significant progress in just four: eliminating chlorofluorocarbons that punched a hole in the Earth's protective
ozone layer; the removal of lead from gasoline that
caused human health problems; improved access to clean water; and boosting research to reduce ocean
pollution.
As the climate has become warmer, weather patterns change, contributing to higher levels of air
pollution like ground - level
ozone that can «
cause premature deaths, hospital visits, lost school days, and acute respiratory symptoms.»
The researchers calculated that calcite could not only reflect light into space and cool the planet, but actively repair the
ozone layer by neutralizing the acids
caused by
pollution that kick off harmful chemical reactions.
In addition, climate change will increase
ozone pollution, wildfires, and allergens, which exacerbate lung diseases such as asthma and can
cause breathing difficulties even in healthy individuals.
Power plant emissions that
cause acid rain, water
pollution and destruction of the
ozone layer may actually be made worse by capturing the CO2 and pumping it deep underground, a new study reported online and in an upcoming International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control suggests.
However, when nitrogen oxides are present in high concentrations as a result of human -
caused pollution, VOCs react with these pollutants to produce more
ozone and methane.
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.
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.
