Air Quality
We know air pollution is one of the most worrying problems for us. This problem started during the industrial revolution, which brought about many positive changes to the world; better transportation, cheaper product, and a better life. However, these beautiful changes led to pollution on other hand. At the beginning of the industrial revolution, no one paid any attention to the problem of pollution on us earth. As the science progressed, people started to realize this problem. Each year, air pollution is the cause of millions of human deaths, and even larger numbers of respiratory, circulatory, and cancer- related disease occurrences air pollution arise from many sources. The most common and widespread air pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter. These air pollutants have been implicated in a number of adverse health problems including reduced lung functions, exacerbating problems, such as asthma, increasing risk chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and aggravating acute respiratory infection ( L E pg439).
The burning of gasoline in automobiles produces harmful gases and incineration of products. From various factories come millions of particle that are carried off in the air. Chemical plants produce gaseous by product that is toxic when their concentration is high enough. As parts of the world become more industrialized, air pollution has generally increased and new health hazards have developed. Air pollution can also result from other causes that we cannot control. For example, forest fires, dust storms, Coal underground fire, and volcano.
The Term Paper on Air Pollution 16
... will nevertheless still bring important health benefits.” “Solutions to outdoor air pollution problems in a city will differ depending on the relative contribution ... household cleaning products or painting supplies, over the counter insect/pest killers, fertilizer dust emit harmful chemicals into the air and cause pollution. In ...
Now, The most air pollution happen in develop countries, the countries such as China, Mexico, Brazil, Indian and eastern Europe are facing substantial air pollution problems as they strive for industrial growth in the absence of vigorous air pollution control policies ( L E pg402).
Recently, we know China facing very heavy air pollution in their urban area and some smile cities. The government does pay attention to control pollution in their country. They just focus to develop economic and neglect environment protect. So they have earned another starting superlative: the highest annual incidence of premature deaths triggered by air pollution in the world. From WHO report estimates that diseases triggered by indoor and outdoor air pollution kill 656,000 Chinese citizen each year, and pollution drinking water kills another 95,600, mostly people death by heart disease and lung cancer. (Chinese Air Pollution deadliest in world).
In China smog filled cities are ringed with heavy industry, metal smelters, and coal fired power plants, and critical to keeping the growing economy going even as they spew tons of carbon, metals, gases, and soot into the air. The air pollution and smog in Beijing and shanghai are sometimes so bad that the airports are shut down because of poor visibility (Air Pollution in China).
But Chinese government still neglect to control or prevent air pollution five years ago.
For example, there are many lead’s factories building at my hometown in China. The lead pollution make lots people have kidney problem in my hometown. I went to back last year to visit my parent, when I got my home and have smell very strange of taste in the air. My mother tell me this is lead make air has strange taste, also this taste make people headache, nauseating, and dizzy. We know lead is a poisonous metal that can damage nervous connections and cause blood and brain disorders, also it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and is believed to have adverse effects on the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, kidneys, and the immune system( lead effect).
The Business plan on Airline Industry In China & The Analysis Of Air China Limited
Introduction * This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of Chinese airlines industry and deep analysis related to Air China Limited (how leadership delivered competitive advantage). In terms of overview of Chinese airlines industry, there are four major parts are touched in the following content: market definition, research highlights, market analysis, and theoretical analysis (SWOT). ...
The lead poisoning typically results from ingestion of food or water contaminated with lead. I know there are most field can not plan any crops now, because the lead make crops cannot grow up, for example, there are corn, wheat and bean grow very short, also there are crop contain lead and people cannot eat. There government didn’t do anything to prevent or control, and they just want to make money and building tall builds. The most governors get lots benefit from lead factories, and they try to cover those lead factories, also they do not allow any body to report or complain about this area of air pollution by lead factory. So there are most people move to other town or other province this ten years.
In China, there is still having others very heavy pollution. Coal is the number once source of air pollution in China. The electricity’s energy most comes from coal in China, so much of it polluting high sulphur from coal. Around six million tons of coal is burned everyday to power factories, heat homes and cook meals (pollution in China).
There have many places still burn large amount coal underground in China. The underground coal fires are consuming 20to 30 million tons of coal a year, pumping tons of ash , carbon dioxide, methane , carbon monoxide and sulfur compounds into the atmosphere. Some of the fires have been burning for centuries. By one count there is 56 underground coals fire currently burning in China (Environment in the People Republic China).the coals fires produce huge amounts of harmful carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The fires produce as much carbon monoxide each year as all the cars in the United States. So underground coal firs are spew fumes and smoke that pour from cracks in the earth. The largest coal fire underground in Mongolia, and have other few coal fires burn there too, those underground coal fire spew lot acrid clouds of sulfur dioxide , carbon dioxide methane into atmosphere. Recently year, there only have 10 percent of coal underground fire are being found. There has a coal underground fire in XinJiang had been burning for 60 years, it had spread to more than 900.00 square meters and consumed 10 million tons of coal a year (Air Pollution In China).
The Essay on China Environmental Pollution Control
Report overview: Research Beam adds a report titled “Environmental Pollution Control Equipment Markets in China” that provides latest market trends and opportunities. The report offers detailed analysis of the Environmental Pollution Control Equipment Markets. China’s demand for environmental pollution control equipment has grown at a fast pace in the past decade. In the next five years, ...
The other pollution in China is cement plants, cement plants are among the biggest air pollution producers in China. They produce lots of dust in air, most cement plants come from coal. The cement plants production generates huge amounts of heat that is released into the air, and become warm for clime. The cement making produce high levels of pollution , it become grayish color of the air and the layer of dust on threes and the road , also cement plants can follow wind move to other place, it just desert area sand , but cement is light than sand. It is harm of material. Cement makes health problems including reduced lung functions, exacerbating problem. Such as asthma, increasing risk of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and aggravating acute respiratory infections. Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide , and particulates have also been shown to contribute to cardiovascular disease(L E pg439).
Sum of all , China has highest air pollution on this world now. I wish Chinese government should spend more money and work to control air pollution of root. They should find out good plan to crush out coal underground fire. I advise use water and cut off oxygen of way to crush out underground fire. The lead factories should close from my hometown, because lead is a poisonous metal that can damage nervous connections and cause blood and brain disorders, also it is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and is believed to have adverse effects on the central nervous system, the cardiovascular system, kidneys, and the immune system. I hope Chinese government should concern Chinese citizen of health.
