Air Pollution is Shortening Your Life

        Air pollution is shortening your life in some cases more than a year, it all depends where you live. The worldwide average is one year but in places such as Egypt it shortens the citizens life span by 1.9 years. Pollutants can come from multiple different sources, more of the obvious source would be things such as car exhaust or truck tailpipes but wildfires and dust storms have a impact on pollution also.

    This is really interesting, I did not know all these things could cause air pollution. I had no clue air pollution had this effect in Egypt, and could shorten your life span.

    This makes a lot of sense, pollution can cause many health problems and bring danger to your long-term life.

    I believe that it is fairly obvious that air pollution is extremely harmful and can shorten one's life. However, I did not know that it was worse in Egypt, and I am curious as to why that is.

    I knew air pollution caused many different problems and was especially bad for people's health, but I was not aware that Egypt had it so bad.

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
