Air pollution killing many

Everyday 93% of children under the age of fifteen breath dangerous polluted air. In 2016 over 600,000 kids died because of lower respiratory infections. Air pollution can cause problems for children in their developing and can cause problems like asthma or worse problems like cardiovascular disease. I think this is a horrible problem and something needs to be done to treat this problem.

    SO how do we deal with a problem that is not only caused by one country, but many AND our own country is turning back regulations that help?

    I feel like countries that have higher air pollution would have more kids breathing in this dangerous air. These studies are probably from all over the world, but I wonder if the numbers are so high because a majority of the deaths are from high air pollution countries.

    I honestly think it's horrible how the air we breathe is becoming worse and only a bigger problem. Like you said, we need to step up as a nation and find better ways to prevent it from becoming worse. I also, feel like air pollution is becoming one of our major problems and we need to do more about it before it ends up being too late.

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
