Amazon Wildfires is it affecting Earth's oxygen supply?

     
       It's been all over the news and social media are the Amazon wildfires truly destroying Earth's oxygen supply? Not even the slightest bit,most of the oxygen is produced through photosynthesis one third of land oxygen is produced by tropical forest. A small amount of oxygen is produced in the ocean due to algae feeding on organic matter causing the matter to fall down to the sea floor. since the algae that is alive produces the smallest amount releasing it into the atmosphere. According to scientist we have plenty of oxygen in the atmosphere to last for millions of years to come. All in all the Amazon wildfires don't threaten the oxygen levels in the atmosphere.

    Check out Mrs. Johnson's reply to Aaron's post. While oxygen may not be threatened, we could have issues with carbon dioxide.

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
