Global Environmental Problems Organization

Introduction

Since the beginning of the industrial age a few years ago, companies blindly believed in the doctrine of exponential economic growth, which was based on the unlimited possibilities of the Earth to sustain economic growth.

But today we know that our planet is not indefinitely withstand the current international economic order that natural resources are not unlimited and that the real solid, liquid or gaseous our lives involve a serious risk to the health of the planet, logically including man.

The negative performance on the environment that has characterized the production systems was exerted from different levels, for example:

Overuse of non-renewable natural resources.

Issuance of the environmental non-degradable waste.

Destruction of natural

Accelerated destruction of plant and animal species (Sandler, 68-87).

Environmental Impact Assessment

The concept of Environmental Impact Assessment can be defined as a set of techniques that seek fundamental purpose of management of human affairs so as to enable a way of life in harmony with nature.

Management environment involves interaction with multiple sciences, and there must be an inter and trans-disciplinary to address issues as environmental management, has to do with the social sciences (economics, sociology, geography) With natural sciences (geology, biology, chemistry), with business management (management).

Finally, it is possible that environmental management has two basic application areas:

A precautionary area: Environmental Impact Assessments are an effective tool.

A corrective area: Environmental Audits make the methodology for analysis and action to address existing problems (Speth, 51-63).

Global Environmental Problems that Organization are Facing Today

"Greenhouse Effect" and Global Climate Change

Greenhouse is a piece of land, isolated from the environment clear plastic or glass. How does he work? The sun's rays heat the earth, from her heated air. If the film was not, the warm air, being lighter, would rise up, and in its place went cold. As a result of such mixing would establish some average temperature. The film does not give mixed air, cold air does not enter the greenhouse, and the temperature inside is higher than outside.

Ozone Hole

The ozone layer is a layer of the atmosphere (the stratosphere) with elevated ozone. It begins at an altitude of about 8 km above the poles (or 17 km above the equator) and extends up to 50 kilometers up. The concentration of ozone in the layer is very low, and if it stand out in pure form and compressed to the density, which is the air at the Earth's surface, the thickness of the ozone layer will not exceed 5 mm.

The presence of ozone in the troposphere, accelerates the destruction of rubber products, textiles, paints, etc., reduces crop production, slowing photosynthesis in plants and weakens them. Thus, according to experts, the annual loss to the U.S. corn, wheat, soybeans, and peanuts caused by ozone, ranging from 1.9 to 4.5 billion.

Acid Rain

Acid rain called all kinds of weather (rain, snow, hail, fog, rain and snow), the pH of which is less than the average pH of rainwater is 5.6.

The effects of acid rain are observed in almost all countries of the globe. It has a negative impact on ...
