Breathing Polluted Air

https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/24/health/polluted-air-counties-lung-association/index.html

American have been breathing in air that could possibly kill you. 141 million live american live in areas where the air pollution is unhealthy and increasing. The main cause is particle pollution. Particle pollution is comes from dirt, dust, soot, smoke. It is produced by coal and natural gas fired plants, cars agriculture, and unpaved roads and construction sites. Wild fires are also a major contributor to pollution.

Particle pollution is a major thing that that contributes to climate change. Climate change takes a major toll on the environment. the climate change makes animals and plants change and act different and produce at different times a year. it will also change the way the weather is.

    From previous stories and events, pollution seems to be a reoccurring issue that needs to be tackled and reduced. We, as people, need to have more caution for our actions as they could in fact be making our environment unhealthy and creating unnecessary issues that could be prevented. We need to do a better job and make the environment good again.

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
