Bad Air Quality in the US Could be Hurting Many People


As humans continue to pollute the air everyday, it is having many negative affects on us in the US. Within the past few years, air quality has gotten worse because of things like burning of fossil fuels and we are not doing a good job at fixing the pollution. The bad air quality may be the cause of thousands of premature deaths. The bad air quality can also be costing us billions of dollars to fix the damage it is causing with things like increased wildfires. It is terrible that the pollution of the air has got this bad and we continue to let it happen. All of us could help fix this issue, by using alternate energy forms. I hope that we all come together to fix this before it gets even worse.

    Unfortunately, I am not surprised by this, as we have had bad pollution for years now. I am surprised though that more isn't being done due to it causing health issues as well as billions of dollars in damage.

    I think it is interesting that the burning of fossil fuels and air pollution can cause so much more damage than just bad air quality. Since it is causing so much destruction and death to our environment, I agree that more people should step up and try to work towards a better solution for this issue.

    I think this article is very fascinating and that we need to understand the harm that we are causing to not only the air but the people who have to breathe it in with the chemicals we are releasing. Therefore, we need to change our ways by using alternate energy forms to stop premature deaths from occurring and we need to do it quick before it effects the population more than it already has.

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
