...New Jersey is recognized for getting their energy from coal-fired power plants. However, this does not only pollute the air that New Jersey residents are breathing in, but also pollutes the earth’s surface in general by making vegetables and fruits harder to grow in the areas that they are built in. Along with damaging the environment by the method that New Jersey gets their energy from, the state has not taken much time or energy to fix this specific problem. Power companies in New Jersey have been known for turning off their “pollution control” equipment, a legal practice that saves the power company more money, however, it also causes massive amounts of air pollution in the surrounding areas. New Jersey over the past decade had many high ozone days: days where the ozone layer is a toxin its self. Ozone is a gas made up of three oxygen atoms, which eventually end up as an ozone layer. The ozone layer is supposed to protect the planets surface from the suns harmful rays. These high ozone days are extremely brutal for children, the elderly, and people who have asthma.

...“Is Air Pollution a Belief?” Winter-Koger’s essay “What on Earth Are We Doing?” discusses many environmental problems, e.g.: ozone depletion, global warming, overpopulation, deforestation, air and water pollution, topsoil loss, and coral reef destruction. While it is difficult to isolate one problem to discuss, as they are all equally, important environmental problems; I have decided to research the effects of outdoor air pollution. I am interested particularly in whether the United States has made any positive changes for cleaner air, or added to the negative impacts on two of six different types of air pollution-ozone(smog) and particle pollution (particulate matter) since Winter-Koger’s essay (2004). Air pollution is one of the many environmental problems faced each day around the world. Man has always been a solid contributor to environmental pollution, a problem passed on from generation to generation. Air pollution is not a belief that one has; but a real problem that absolutely does exist. Many people have dedicated their lives to finding a solution to the detrimental effects of air pollution. And many people, unknowingly, and some ignorantly, have dedicated their lives to contributing to air pollution. To better understand the effects of air pollution, one must first understand the definition of air pollution and how it is caused. You may disagree and feel you know the definition of air pollution; but ask the person next to you to define air pollution, and...

...ESSAY WRITING STEP BY STEP “Write an essay? But I don’t know how!” If you are unnerved by the thought of writing a college essay, remember that this task can be accomplished in the same way as any other—one step at a time. An effective essay is the result of careful thinking, planning, writing, and revising. If you work hard on the first two steps, the last two will be much easier. Your goal is to produce an essay whose content is focused, well-developed, and clear. THINKING (Many decisions must be made before you actually write anything down.) 1. Consider purpose: The general purpose of your essay will usually be determined by your instructor. To be sure you know the specific purpose of your particular essay, complete this sentence: “The purpose of my essay is to ….” Example: General Purpose: Describe in detail an important characteristic of a person you know well. Specific purpose: The purpose of my essay is to describe my mother’s kindness toward her family, friends, and co-workers. 2. Consider audience: The identity of your audience will determine how much background information will be necessary and what terms need to be used or defined. For example, an essay written for nurses on care of the elderly will include less background and more technical information than an essay written for the general public on the same topic. Unless directed otherwise, you should write for an uninformed audience. Even if your...

Increase in production, manufacturing, the use of motor vehicles and basically dumping waste into the environment. This has brought about different types of pollution, each resulting in negative effects due to reducing quality air and other environmental features. If things keep going down this road, the future generations may not have a clean environment to come to, and it may even signify the end of our world. Some of the major environmental pollutions include air pollution, sound pollution, soil pollution and water pollution. Air pollution occurs due to some dangerous gases being released into the environment in large quantities. If the gases are released in small quantities and over a long time, the environment has ways of cleaning itself out, but due to the increase in development and population, this is not possible. This threat for the future world has become a world issue which requires a quick and fast measure taken against it. Otherwise, we might just destroy the only thing that rejuvenates itself and supports our ecosystem. It has been clear though from the past that this issue will not be gotten rid of so easily. This is because even the problem itself...

...environmental pollution. Especially, air pollution is one of the serious environmental pollution problems because of the impact it has had on organisms on the earth. For this reason, it is necessary for governments to spend more money in order to stem this pollution. In this essay, I will explain about this point of view. Firstly, people struggle to live with the severe diseases which are caused by air pollution. Respiratory and cardiovascular diseases are representative diseases. In East Asia, For example, 130,000 premature deaths and 50-70 million incidents of respiratory illness occur each year. Moreover, according to research, the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death are associated with the long-term exposure to air pollution. For these reasons, it is clear that air pollution has a harmful effect on human’s health. Another reason is that air pollution has resulted in serious complications in the natural environment. For instance, global warming, which is caused by greenhouse gas in turn caused by air pollutants, increase the average temperature of Earth’ atmosphere and oceans. Acid rain is caused by air pollution, it makes manmade structures, rock formations, forests and other natural landmarks quickly deteriorate. It also causes fish kills and other detrimental effects to aquatic environments. Therefore, air pollution brings significant problems to the natural environment. Finally, governments should spend more money on solving the problem of air pollution. Governments...

...affected by air pollution. People exploit billions of tons of coal, petroleum, gas and expel into the environment a large amount of toxic waste annually. Nobody all over the world wants to breathe in such dirty atmosphere. However, it is very difficult to find a place which is not polluted. This essay will argue that governments around the world need to spend more money on ways to purify the air in order to reduce air pollution’s negative effects on the human life and biodiversity. One of the main reasons why it can be argued that governments around the world need to spend more money keeping the air clean is that air pollution has a serious impact on the human life. Air pollution influences people’s health and even can kill many living organisms including humans. For example, in recent years, people release into the atmosphere toxic gas such as CO2, NOX, CH4 and CFC causing the greenhouse effect. If people do not take effective measures to reduce greenhouse gas emission, global temperature will raise from 1.8 to 6.4 °C in 2100. Besides, according to WHO, the global warming will be likely to cause more than 150,000 deaths and 5 million people are infected with various diseases. The above figures could increase twice in 2030. For this reason, protecting the air is an urgent issue that needs doing right now. Another reason why governments around the world need to concentrate on protecting the air is that air pollution has negatively affected biodiversity. Air pollution can break...

...Pollution of the environment in general is an issue in the area that I live in. There seems to be a trend of pollution just in general by the population of people. There are traces of trash, chemicals dumped, waste not properly disposed of, and pollution in the air due to vehicles with improper emissions. Pollution like this can find its way into important resources like water supply, food supply, and the very air the population breathes. In this essay, I'm going to describe the issues of environmental pollution, and the problems that could be tied to them. Pollution of the environment is an issue that is an issue throughout the country. It is one of the greatest challenges to combat due to the fact that it takes the participation of all citizens in order to deal with the issue of environmental pollution. Some people are not even aware that environmental pollution could be the catalyst in many different diseases that some have come across. Unfortunately, what people don't know, they can not take action against because they do not understand the problem. When the subject of the environmental health comes up especially with regards to a small town, one of the main concerns that could come about is the quality of the water if there is pollution. Water is an essential source to all forms of life, so if it is polluted, that means that it has access to contaminate any forms of life. It should be said that the water quality is extremely important to human...
