Link between air pollution and increased risk for miscarriage

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181205152206.htm

A team examined the risk of a miscarriage during a 3 or 7 day window following a spike in the concentration of 3 common air pollutants: small particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. The team found a slight increased risk in miscarriage for women exposed to elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide.

Reading all these articles about air pollution is crazy. Everyday scientists are finding something in air pollution that can harm humans. I wonder if instead of putting all this time and effort into researching all the things air pollution can do to you, they will do something about it.

    I can see how air pollution could lead to miscarriage because the chemicals the mother breathes in go to the baby and could affect their lungs.

    I think the problem with taking action is lots of companies and other groups who cause the air pollution don't want to clean up their act/the air because that would probably mean spending more money or changing something that they don't care enough to change.

    A lot of people say they're concerned for infants, but none of them are really sitting down and thinking about their actions are hurting little ones. Companies aren't going to be concerned for how they're polluting the air and the people they're hurting as long as they're putting money in their own pockets.

    If this doesn't change humans' actions on pollution, I don't know what will. Pollution puts harmful chemicals in our bodies, but the fact that it now causes more miscarriages in pregnant women shows that pollution is killing living things as well.

    The amount of negative affects that air pollution has on humans is crazy, and the fact that people still refuse to acknowledge it and do anything about it is unbelievable. This is another reason as to why we need to fix air pollution before there's nobody left.

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
