Pollution

Extreme environmentalists will hurt their cause by creating unreal pollution issues. There certainly are many, very valid, problems with pollution, including the rising use of plastic bottles and chemicals we use every day.

Pollution is a serious problem.
Erosion can be man induced and can be a problem.

When the two are added the issue become foolishness as pollution is not a cause of erosion. This is a sad political use of the term pollution.

This is a very difficult to estimate.

The most directly impacted was the fishing industry. This includes commercial and recreational fishing. I could not find an estimate of how many workers were laid off. Wikipedia gives an estimated economic impact. Many in the fishing industry were hired by BP to use their boats to skim oil, making it difficult to determine the number of lost jobs.

The tourist industry was impacted. People cancelled vacations because beaches were closed. Restaurants reported people feared eating seafood. The number of jobs lost is not easy to calculate, because the country was in an economic recession, and so many tourist spots were going to see fewer customers because of the economy.

Also, the numbers of lost jobs is difficult to determine, because temporary jobs were created to clean up beaches and in other areas.

Finally, jobs were lost as the US Federal Government refused to permit deepwater exploratory drilling. I don't consider this a direct result of the spill, but what the government thought was necessary to avoid further accidents. Some of these jobs will be lost for a long period, as rigs leave the Gulf of Mexico to drill in other locations.

A lot of estimates of the economic impact of the spill on the economy, have been printed in the media, typically in the tens of billions of dollars range. See related link.

Though there is no mandatory rule to get arrested after polluting land, but to check or control the ever expanding land pollution this can prove a very good measure. Fine can be another such measure to reduce land pollution if followed seriously..

Air and water containing substances that are harmful for us and our environment is said to be polluted and the harmful substances are known as pollutants.

Temperature inversions trap pollution when a layer of warmer air sits above cooler air at the surface, preventing the normal upward movement of air. This situation typically occurs during stable atmospheric conditions, often at night or in the early morning, especially in valleys or urban areas. During an inversion, pollutants emitted from vehicles, factories, and other sources accumulate close to the ground, leading to higher concentrations of smog and poor air quality. These conditions can be exacerbated in winter months when temperature inversions are more common.

The Ixtoc I oil spill was a spill resulting from the drilling of an exploratory oil well in the Gulf of Mexico in the Bay of Campeche, on June 3, 1979. The blowout lead to the third largest oil spill in history, (currently larger in volume than the BP Deepwater Horizon spill of 2010).

The clean air act was made law to try to reduce dense smogs caused by smoke from household coal fires and industrial pollution becoming trapped by low laying fog. In Liverpool, my home city, I remember in my youth, dense winter smogs that were actually yellow!

Iv'e heard it can travel over 50 miles depending on how much pollution there is in the air.

we should discourage the use of polythene bags as they are not biodegradable and thus cause pollution..

hairspray ruins our ozone layer and the ozone layer is almost gone so try not to use hairspray that much. or use it inside. our ozone layer is thin and we need it. it is the only thing keeping us not direct with the solar system. it surrounds the earth.

It will be come over poluted. (fact) We could all die.(not sure)

Air pollution cannot entirely stop anything, but it can bring ill effects to the world such as acid rain. This is being cleared but so far there is nothing to say there is air pollution that stops things.

You really should ask how long it takes for a milk carton to decompose. Milk bottles are made of glass, and they do not decompose, ever.

well one solution to stop land pollution is by recciclng.

Water pollution is caused by emission of domestic or urban sewage,agricultural waste, pollutants and industrial effluents into water bodies. Nowadays, its main source is the wastematerial discharged by industrial units. Waste materials like acids, alkalies, toxic metals, oil, grease, dyes, pesticidesand even radioactive materials are poured into the water bodies by many industrial units. Some other importantpollutants include polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compounds, lubricants and hot water discharged by power plants.The pollutants unloaded into the water bodies usually dissolve or remain suspended in water. Sometimes, they alsoaccumulate on the bottom of the water bodies.

Any corporation dealing with radio active material must ensure that such waste be handled in the most secure way as possible.

Most industries use a lot of toxins such as green house gases. These gases sometimes make way into the air and then turned into acid rain. Acid rain goes into fresh water sources such as rivers, lakes, etc. It even can be transfered through ground into those water supplies. This is called acid rain run-off..

The best way is to stop using coal. If we ignore the pollution (and that is what we have done up till now) coal is a cheap and efficient way to generate electricity. Now that we are realising the cost of the carbon dioxide that coal releases into the atmosphere, we are seeing that the true cost of coal is much higher than we thought. If we want to stop using coal we have to quickly find better and cleaner ways of producing electricity.

It is very difficult to prevent the pollution that comes from mining, transporting and burning coal. Filtering and capturing the carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, sulfur oxides as well as soot particles adds immensely to the cost of the process. In fact nobody is doing it, as it is too expensive.

There are various trials around the world with "clean coal". This is where the carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas that is causing global warming, is captured and then stored somewhere safe underground, perhaps in old oil mines or even coal mines. Again this is very costly and there is little hope of success, but countries with large reserves of coal are reluctant to abandon them.

Every person engages in some form of consumption of resources, with some pollution being produced as a byproduct. Some people consume much more than others, of course. Some people ride cars with internal combustion engines, and others ride bicycles. But there was still some air pollution produced by the factory which made the bicycle. It follows mathematically that the more people there are, the more pollution will result. This is unavoidable.

All Kinds Of Transport Like Buses, Cars and Trains Come Under Electrical Gadget Range Only Because Some How Or The Other These Are Being Helped By Electricity And so They Cause Pollution.

Air pollution puts too much CO2 in the atmosphere. The Ozone layers can't handle so much CO2, and gaps start to form. With the Ozone slowly evaporating, the Sun's rays are more direct. The rays of the sun escape through the gaps and warm the Earth's atmosphere, known as Global Warming.

The Ozone layers can repair, but we keep polluting Earth. The layers never get a chance to do what they need to. The Ozone layers protect us from various materials from space. Without it, we are vulnerable to harmful space bacteria.

Most water pollution happens in the oceans, where ships dump garbage. Pollution also accumulates in the oceans as a result of runoff from rivers.

Radiation pollution is the increase in natural background radiation. There are many sources of radiation pollution such as research laboratories, nuclear power plants, etc. The worst case of the radiation pollution was the Chernobyl disaster , which occurred over a century ago, but the effects still linger on today.

No good ones. The few I've seen all stink.
