...English 26 November Pollution in the Environment Introduction A major problem that is being globally faced by the people of the twenty first century is the fight against pollution. Pollution can be defined as, “the introduction of man into the environment of substances or energy liable to cause hazards to human health, harm to living resources and ecological systems, damage to structures or amenity, or interference with legitimate uses of the environment” (Holdgate 17). So technically human beings are reaping the fruit of their prior mistakes i.e. the gradual spread of pollution after the...

...of Chernobyl, without waiting to critically analyze the facts. Fukushima-the Facts On 11 March 2011, Japan was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 9.0, accompanied by a devastating tsunami. One of the major fallouts of this calamity was the tragic accidents that took place at the Fukushima nuclear plant. This disaster involved a series of equipment failures that took place in a close succession, resulting in the release of the radioactive material into the surrounding environment. The Fukushima nuclear plant was managed and administered by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time when the earthquake hit Japan, the reactor number 4 had already been...

...Air Pollution Cause and Effects The term Air pollution refers to toxins permeating the atmosphere due to industrial and vehicle waste emissions. The tons of pollutants being pumped into the air every year result in destructive effects that are severely harming the health of people and the earth. The direct effect is evident to anyone who has lived in or near a major city. The skies are off-color and ozone warnings are common. People who are susceptible to lung-related issues such as asthma or are elderly are warmed not venture outside on those days. It’s not healthy for those who are not sick or old too and the problem is not getting any better. Air...

...quantity of natural energy sources. Today, nuclear energy is also used commercially to meet the fraction necessity of electricity energy demanded. This energy is produced through chemical reactions, where neutrons from uranium atoms collide with each other to release nuclear energy. Correspondingly, the environmental effects imposed when producing nuclear energy has become a majorly debated topic in the recent era. The primary concern related with the nuclear energy has been the negative effects of radiation and water pollution at elevated temperature during the nuclear energy production. The radiation caused from the...

The document on air quality standards tells about the extent to which the policies are made regulated so that there is no or minimum pollution caused by non natural entities. The Environment Protection Agency promotes the construction of green buildings through which we can understand that this stream of engineering offers a great advantage to environment. A research paper on Capacity planning for waste management systems tells us about the application of engineering concepts to solid waste management. By studying different research papers we can understand the application of engineering principles to these areas of...

...important form of poisoning that affected the people was arsenic poisoning which was caused by the arsenic dust from the mines, causing breathing illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis. With the increase in the number of waste pollution issues, the government decided to make some drastic changes, making strict efforts to curb pollution. In this paper we will discuss the waste treatment plans that have been implemented, its benefits and those that are in the process of implementation.

...Pollution & the Environment Pollution may be defined simply as the introduction of substances that may contaminate the environment causing it to be unstable, disorderly, harmful or uncomfortable to the ecosystem (Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, 2002). Water pollution therefore is the contamination of groundwater, oceans, lakes, rivers and other water bodies. Water pollution affects the flora and fauna that live in the water bodies and in many cases damage the populations and species as well as biological communities. The pollution happens when agents of pollution are indirectly or directly discharged into the water before they have been treated adequately to remove chemicals that are harmful.
Sources of water... ...
