Pollution and Sea Turtles

   Pollution effects many different ecosystems especially the ocean recently. As many people know, pollution has been causing a lot of controversy with the sea turtles recently. Many people have been hearing about straws getting stuck in their noses, and bottle rings getting caught around their necks. Within this article, you can find information about how pollution is actually causing the turtles to contract diseases! In order to prevent this from happening in the future, and to lessen the issue, we need to come together and stop using plastic materials and work on coming up with more effective and biodegradable materials.

    I really like how this is about pollution and sea turtles, because that is a big topic in today's society and it would be nice to clean up the ocean, so that these creatures aren't being harm and it won't eventually lead to extinction.

    I agree that this has recently been a large controversial issue. Especially turtles being an important part of out ecosystem, we don't want them to start going extinct, because this would threaten other species.

    This is an extremely interesting topic because I think too many people focus on one side of the pollution problem and are not fully educated on the issue.

    I agree that this is an important, controversial issue that needs to be controlled. Turtles are beautiful creatures and it would be a shame for them to no longer be with us because of irresponsible humans.

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
