Chemical Haze Drifts Ashore

This article is interesting as this haze is seeming to be more harmful that the usual gas cloud that western countries are used to seeing. This haze is very telling because of how it is actually physically affecting people in a negative way. Just like smog, this gas cloud is composed of gas produced from industrial smoke. Advancement in technology can cause an advancement in pollution which is what I believe is occurring. This is worrying because if this trend continues, gas clouds created by man can become even worse.

    I also read this article and found it interesting as well. It's astounding that something that has previously occurred in the past still has no explanation only some theories to back it up. Without further looking into the area I can't really say it's 100% from the factory, however it is a strong possibility in my eyes. I also agree with you're statement " This is worrying because if this trend continues, gas clouds created by man can become even worse." because with the world depending on so much industrialization, things like this may become more and more common. However, I also believe with that comes a solution that "experts" will come up with.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
