Air pollution is killing us

It's not a secret that air pollution or any type of pollution is harmful to our health. Scientists have been studying a certain pollute called PM2.5, which instead of being exhaled, when inhaled it can then travel past your body's usual defenses and cause irritation and inflammation. In long term affects, it can cause respiratory issues and even cancer. A study shows that 107,000 deaths were caused prematurely back in 2011 due to poor air condition.

    Wow I knew that air pollution was a problem but I did not know it has lead to that many deaths.

    still can't believe our president thinks global warming isn't an issue.

    Be careful and try staying in your house. Large parts of the Country are suffering from tremendous amounts of snow and near record setting cold. Amazing how big this system is. Wouldn’t be bad to have a little of that good old fashioned Global Warming right now!

    I knew air pollution was very bad obviously, but I had no idea it killed that many people back in 2011. This goes to show that we need to find ways to decrease the harmful chemicals being released into the air.

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
