AIR POLLUTION

Air Pollution in America

Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of “air pollution” in a holistic context. The main focus of the research is on “air pollution” and its relation with “America”. The research also analyzes many aspects of “air pollution” and tries to gauge its effect on “America”. Finally, the research describes various factors, which are responsible for “air pollution,” and tries to describe the overall effect of “air pollution” on “America.”

Air pollution in America

Introduction

Air pollution exposure is the atmosphere of chemicals or particles of material or biological compounds cause damage and harm to humans and other organisms, or may cause damage to the natural environment. In addition, the atmosphere is a system of natural gas reactants and complex that are essential to support life on planet Earth. In this report, we will discuss the concept of air pollution in America and the possible causes of air pollution in America (Coleman 2011).

Discussion

There is a sizeable amount of evidence that air pollution has the potential to make a very huge impression on the health status of amenable people in a society, like small children, elderly people, and people with pre-existent diseases. A number of air pollutants come up from a broad array of reservoirs like traffic, industry, and many of them are omnipresent in our environment. We can classify air pollutants into two major types, i.e. primary air pollutants and secondary air pollutants.

The pollutants of air pollution are released at once into the environment from explicit sources like motor vehicles and industries. Different factors like light, pressure, heat, and other chemicals like oxygen, and nitrogen can make an effect on these pollutants after these pollutants have reached air.

According to an estimate, air pollution causes hundreds of thousands of deaths each year worldwide. Although there is still some debate as to the seriousness of the problem, many scholars have calculated that even standing with the approval of the Federal Law for the Protection of Air from the U.S. (or U.S. Clean Air Act) (Coleman 2011).

The results of a new study by Italian researchers and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology show a link between the days of high air pollution and hospital admissions for heart attacks. Those most affected are the elderly and those with respiratory or cardiovascular problems.

When we burn fossil fuels or wood, the fine particles are released into the air. In fact, the exhaust of motor vehicles, home heating systems and power plants all contribute to disseminate this kind of particles (McBoyle 1973).

Environmental problems

In general, an increase or decrease in relative humidity over the previous parameters, may result in people developing problems in breathing, allergies and dryness, in the throat, and mucous
