Identify two forms of global pollution?

Answer 1

noise pollution and air pollution

Noise pollution is excessive, displeasing human, animal or machine-created environmental noise that disrupts the activity or balance of human or animal life. The word noise comes from the Latin word nauseas, meaning seasickness.

The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly construction and transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise.[1][2] Poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution, since side-by-side industrial and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in the residential area.

Indoor and outdoor noise pollution sources include car alarms, emergency service sirens, mechanical equipment, fireworks, compressed air horns, groundskeeping equipment, barking dogs, appliances, lighting hum, audio entertainment systems, electric megaphones and loud people.

Air pollution is a release into the atmosphere of any substances, ex. chemicals or airborne particles, which are harmful both to the human and animal health as well as the health of the wider environment.

Atmospheric pollution occurs because the release of air pollutants takes place at a rate much faster than they can be accommodated by the environment and removed from the atmosphere without causing serious harm.

Pollution had been known to exist for centuries, but it became an issue of serious concern only in the last 200 years or so, mostly due to the industrial revolution.

Atmospheric pollution originates from all the parts of the world and travels around knowing no borders.

Air pollution' is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth's ecosystems.

Indoor air pollution and urban air quality are listed as two of the world's worst pollution problems in the 2008 Blacksmith Institute World's Worst Polluted Places report.

Answer 2

1. Water Pollution. When a toxic substance leaks into water, it can cause animals to die, it poisons water that can be used for drinking, and it destroys the aquatic life in and surrounding the water.

Examples: cans, bottles, plastic, garbage, gasoline, etc.

2. Air Pollution. When harmful chemicals enter the air, it causes health problems, environmental problems, and sometimes damage to property.

Examples: smoke, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, chlorofluorocarbon, etc.

Answer 3

smoke from electric producing plants.

human waste in water.

Three forms of pollution include air, sound and light pollution. All are more prevalent in urban areas than in suburban or rural areas.

Answer 4

Two forms of global pollution includes gases released into the atmosphere and chemicals that are carried by water into a watershed.

Answer 5

Air pollution, water pollution, ground pollution, light pollution (interferes with observing the sky at night; is caused by unshielded artificial lights), and noise pollution.

Answer 6

Natural sources of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides include release from volcanoes, biological decay and forest fires.

Answer 7

Smog, acid rain, CFC's
