Raw Sewage from 57 Areas Across Ireland is Flowing into Our Environment

http://www.thejournal.ie/raw-sewage-epa-2-4299832-Oct2018/

Last year it has been brought to America's attention that Ireland is not investing quickly enough in infrastructure that is needed to treat waste water. This sewage is flowing into rivers, lakes and coastal waters. In the last few years Ireland has not had a effective way of managing sewage waters. If this gets bad enough it could effect us extremely.



I feel like this is disgusting because there will literally be poo and pee in the ocean, and it may get bad enough to migrate over to us. I don't feel like swimming or drinking human waste or trash filled water.

    This is a very interesting article , and some people might not have even known about this issue.

    No one ever takes the issues in the environment seriously until it's too late.

    This issue isn't something you see everyday, but this is an issue that needs to be fixed quickly.

    There's probably already tons of poop and pee in the oceans you swim in. But, this more so effects our drinking water than anything. Ireland should've done something about it while it was happening and not just ignore it.

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
