Toxic waste found in Serbia

In northern Serbia, on a property close by to a farmland and a railway line, 100 tons of hazards toxic waste has been stored in the open and within a barn. last month, authorities found this deposit, along with a second one cement into the wall of a nearby factory. Across Serbia, reports of poorly secured waste deposits have the possibility of causing long term public health and environmental problems.

    This is quite sad, but not very shocking. I mean not many people care about their waste and how it affects the environment and society around them. Hopefully one day we'll have a future where people care.

    I know that many people don't focus on their waste but this is a surprise to me that they are finding actual toxic waste. It is scary to think that waste could be in your backyard

    I'm generally not surprised as this is Serbia, however I hope they change the status of their waste system. Since it sounds like they just dump stuff everywhere and don't care about what happens in the future. It's scary to think about that this is at a farm anyway, since the animals are exposed to it. If eaten, the people who eat those animals could also become sick.

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
