Phoenix Tries to Reverse Its 'Silent Storm' of Heat Deaths

This article is about Phoenix experiencing a major climate change and the way that it is affecting the people who live there. The temperatures are rising and so is the heat-related death toll so Phoenix and its citizens are trying to come up with new ideas about how they can reduce the temperature.

This article directly relates to Environmental Science because the changes in the environment are what the article is about. Due to global warming, the heat in Phoenix is drastically changing and the citizens bodies are not able to handle this. This is extremely important to learn about because the heat in the environments in which we live in contributes to our health. It is essential to recognize when the climate is changing and take action in doing whatever is necessary to keep everybody safe, especially when lives are being taken because of it.

    I wonder if this is happening in other traditionally warm cities as well...

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
