Term traffic pollution refers mostly to the form of air pollution coming from vehicles (excessive traffic), though it sometimes can also refer to noise pollution coming from cars and other vehicles.Traffic pollution still continues to grow, even despite the cleaner vehicle engines. This is because there are more cars on the roads as the result of growing human population.One of the U.S. cities

Air pollution is not only huge environmental threat but also huge threat to human health that has particularly negative impact on children. Young children are much more vulnerable to air pollution than adults, and exposure to air pollution in early years can cause long-lasting health problems. People who were in their childhood exposed to severe levels of air pollution also often have lower IQ

The increased levels of noise pollution in our oceans and seas are becoming a very serious environmental issue. Among the most affected marine animals are dolphins and whales because they heavily rely on sound for their daily activities such as hunting.The effect of noise pollution on marine life isn't the same in all seas and oceans and varies based on the proximity of the animal to the activity

Pollution control refers to different measures that have a goal of controlling the introduction of certain pollutants into given environment. Since pollution is constantly growing around the globe it has become quite clear that current levels of pollution control are anything but enough to keep our planet clean and healthy for years to come.What this world desperately needs is a very strict

Many people still fail to realize that indoor air quality is of equal (if not bigger) importance as the outdoor air quality. This is because we spend majority of our time indoors.Indoor air pollution is mostly the result of inadequate ventilation. The most common indoor air pollutants are volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Solvents such as paints and protective coatings are the major source of

Each day, a large quantities of chemicals and different other pollutants are being dumped into our oceans and seas. The marine pollution is on the rise because human population is constantly growing, and with it also grows the amount of different pollutants that make their ways into our oceans and seas.It has been estimated that around 60% of people in the world live in coastal areas.

China is the world's biggest polluter and world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, and the main reason why China has become a symbol for pollution is a rapid (but unsustainable) economic growth. To put it simply, China is sacrificing its environment to please its economy. Such policy is definitely bringing short-term economic benefits but is also doing huge environmental damage to one of world's

Marine pollution refers to pollution of our seas and oceans. Ships are big sources of marine pollution, and this issue still isn't getting enough attention on global scale.Ships can pollute our oceans and seas in many ways. Most people will probably first think about oil spills when talking about the marine pollution from ships.Oil spills are extremely difficult to clean up, they kill many marine

Pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems but still many people do not take pollution problem seriously as they should be. Many people still think that we can dump our garbage all over the planet without any consequences which is not true. Since the start of industrial revolution we have been continuously heavily polluting our planet, caring only for economic development, and not

The story about Black sea pollution starts like almost any other pollution story. Once, not so long time ago, about half decade ago, Black Sea had very rich and diverse marine ecosystems. It also had major economic benefits in form of millions of tourists coming from all over the world, not to mention the abundant fisheries.But in 1990s, all beauty has vanished, and this important natural

Hungary's massive spill of red sludge is one of EU's worst environmental disasters in the last couple of decades. The river Danube, Europe's second largest river, could be under great threat, and according to the latest reports red sludge has already reached the Danube. Hungarian officials insist this is still not a major problem for Europe's second-longest river, claiming that the drinking water

In order to define the littering we need to define the litter first. The litter refers to different waste products such as containers, papers, and wrappers that have been disposed onto streets, countrysides and remote places, meaning that the simplest littering definition would be pollution of our environment by different litter waste.Littering is much more serious problem than some think it is,

The pollution has taken heavy toll on Chesapeake Bay, nation's largest estuary. The Bay is filled with the large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus coming from sources such as runoff from city streets, fertilizer-laden waters from farmlands and outflows from sewage-treatment plants. One of the latests studies suggested that this heavy pollution of Chesapeake Bay (and its tributaries) presents

Most scientists agree that air dust has certain impact on our climate, but they still do not know how big this impact is. In order to put more light on this interesting topic scientists at The University of Alabama in Huntsville will spend the next three years studying the climate impacts of about 770 million tons of dust carried into the atmosphere every year from the Sahara.As scientists

First of all, I would like to point out that is impossible to list all forms of pollution, so throughout this article I will only list major forms of pollution. I'll start with the most talked about form of pollution - air pollution.Air pollution refers to introduction of different contaminants into the atmosphere that cause damage to living organisms and environment. It is also important to

Wastewater treatment includes different methods and processes that are used to clean wastewater from certain contaminant(s). The most common form of wastewater treatment includes large wastewater treatment plants that use different physical, chemical and biological treatment processes to clean up wastewater. Other forms of wastewater treatment in United States include On-Site Sewage Facilities

In order to properly define ozone pollution we first need to define ozone. Ozone is molecule of three oxygen atoms bound together (O3), and it is highly unstable and poisonous. We also need to know that ozone is not always bad, and the ozone that is responsible for ozone pollution is ozone at ground level, while there is also so called "good ozone" in the upper Earth's atmosphere that protects us

Many scientists around the globe will agree that noise pollution in oceans is very serious environmental issue that could cause serious damage to marine food chain. Ever increasing noise pollution in our oceans has increased dramatically in the last couple of years, and fish and other marine species are finding it very hard to separate natural sounds from artificial sounds.What this means is that

China is the world's largest polluter with large share of this pollution coming from dirty coal power plants that do not satisfy modern emission standards. China is well aware that its current economic growth can only be supported by coal but by the current looks of it, not at any price. The latest proof to this is order from China's government to shut down more than 2,000 highly polluting,

In order to keep our seas and oceans clean we need to have some advanced monitoring systems that would give us an early warning signs for all types of pollution so we can prevent the worst. Our oceans are experiencing many different forms of pollution: ever-increasing climate change impact is having a major negative effect as warming water is provoking fish migrations, while a rising level of CO2

The enormous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is still very hot topic, mostly because the recent cleaning efforts proved to be inadequate to cleanup the huge environmental mess. Some scientists suggest different approach and are saying that doing nothing to clean this oil spill would be much better option compared to current aggressive "gung ho" cleaning tactics.British scientists from the

In order to define waste management we need to include several different processes such as collection, transport, processing, recycling, disposing, and monitoring of waste. Without proper waste management we are not only harming a beauty and health of our environment but we are also reducing negative effect that waste can have on our own health.Waste management significantly differs for developed

Pesticides are also a significant cause of pollution that is happening on our planet. Pesticides create the pollution of not only land but also water, and the main reason for worry is the fact that pollution cause with pesticides is on the rise, since the number of pesticides farmers use has increased heavily in the last few decades.Many recent studies have confirmed that traces of different
