Reducing CO2 in China to Save US Lives

Air pollution goes beyond national boundaries. According to Chinese studies, 55,000-94,000 premature deaths could be prevented by China's decision to reduce emissions starting in 2030. Sixty percent of these premature deaths are said to be caused by PM2.5, a tiny particle inhaled into the human body. Being that China emits the most CO2 in the world, this could be a major step in reducing the amount of pollutants released in the atmosphere. Neighboring countries to China would be receiving less deadly air pollution, as well. This decision could possibly inspire other countries to assist China in cutting down their emissions and possibly do so in their own country.

    This is a very informative article and can open the yes of people across the world to the danger of air pollution. Putting it into a perspective that people can understand such as premature death there is a new sense of reality that is understood.

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
