According to this article, the number of diseases relating to the air pollution levels in the world had been heavily rising due to the high levels of several different types of pollutants in our atmosphere. Even now we are still seeing the backlashes of the high levels of pollutants due to the hole in our ozone and the sight of smog in certain cities although, the laws and regulations are changing drastically to try to bring the pollution levels to lower levels.

    I think there needs to be more regulations for pollution coming from at least factories. People know what the problems are but don't bother trying to lessen the usage. The amount of technology we have i'm sure there are at least some simple solutions.

    It's incredible the impact that pollution has on society yet people are still not doing enough to change it or stop it. It definitely can not be dealt with over-night, but starting to put regulations on factories would be a start. Especially since there are now diseases that are related to air pollution, i think that might be another push for something to finally be done.

    I think its incredibly sad that people had to die in order for our government to see that the regulations we had on industries were not doing their job. I'm glad that at least now they have started to place stricter laws but it could be too late now for some places.

    I find it ridiculous that these things are happening and there is scientific proof that these things are occurring but many people think that it isn't a big deal or that it is not even a real thing. This problem isn't going to be solved in a month and probably not even in a year. But each day will help over time especially if a lot of people are. It is not that hard to minimize your pollution habits, it is sad that people do not realize. If we want to live on our earth we need to take care of it.

    I agree with Mackenzie. The fact that people had to die for the government to start taking action is awful and devastating. By taking action now, we can work together to hopefully stop pollution over the next few years. The smallest changes in our everyday lives could benefit and save the Earth we live on.

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
