The main objectives in reducing the production of waste

This includes household waste collective containers at recycling centers, less distance from home, selective multi-material collection by voluntary contribution, selective single-material collection in voluntary contribution (glass), selective multi-material collection in door to door operations, iIndividual bins (one or several bins) to proximity to home, and selective single-material collection in door to door planning.

Implemented over a 10-year period, the plan has for main objectives of:

– Decrease production with, for example, composting in the garden and harmfulness of discharges. Individual composting is a very interesting way to reduce household organic waste. Certainly it cannot represent a full-fledged solution for the management of organic waste insofar as it only partially solves the problems of disposal garbage.

It does, however, make it possible to reduce the costs of managing waste while raising awareness among residents of the waste issue. Indeed, they are at the heart of the industry; they decide and operate on their own account. The community is there to encourage them to get involved. Through this incentive, they become actors in the management of their own waste. Consequently, any global reflection on the management of waste must include an “individual composting” component. Also, the individual composting has started in all the Communities of counties.

– Add value to waste that can be recycled. It is about recovering some raw waste products or materials for reuse, recycling. Recycling, as its name suggests, is therefore defined in recovery waste to transform it into new products. But it is necessary
that a real recovery sector is set up at the local level. Gold, today the infrastructures on which such a program could support are insufficient.

Indeed, the region is only in its infancy in this area; only a few small businesses dismantle end-of-life vehicles and recover damaged items value. For batteries, the local factory processes them and plastic recovery is guaranteed by the plastic factory. Regarding sorting, three companies located in the area manage the problem;

– Encourage the participation of the population, with the establishment of a phase awareness campaign focused on individual and collective communication, with users, the educational community, the professional community of waste (caterers) and organizers (local elected officials, for example).

In this meaning, the state actively participated in this communication; these various actions are based on an information and
awareness raising which takes several forms: exhibitions, dissemination of television spots.

– Reserve landfill sites for ultimate waste only, which cannot be neither treated nor valued;

– Effectively fight against “wild” anarchic landfills which disfigure landscapes and unauthorized polluting discharges.

In short, the objectives of the departmental plan for dumpster rental in Concord are first and foremost to reduce the production and harmfulness of waste. It is also a question of enhancing them by recycling. We must therefore give back to the earth what it produced by transforming matter
organic in compost and finally produce energy by burning waste in incineration plant.

This is why the region must be given a real disposal and recycling infrastructure in order to bring it into compliance with
federal standards by 2025. But heavy investments are necessary, furthermore, the total cost of this new policy is estimated at $250 million.

Indeed, the installation of this equipment receives aid from from several sources. It is the federal budget with the main tool
financing the Regional Development Funds which will cover 70% of investments required for this project; the Modernization Fund for
Waste management; municipalities and groupings of municipalities; the general board of the environment, whose financial support amounts to 10% of the amount of these investments.

It follows that the state has endeavored to provide technical and financial support to municipalities and communities of municipalities for setting up projects aimed at reducing the production of household waste, sort and value them as much as possible.

We can cite here the aid to municipalities for purchases of compost bins, financing of operations aimed at developing sorting selective, setting up waste collection centers, composting platforms for green waste, sorting centers, waste transit stations, and finally aid for the creation of large structures such as an incineration plant or a
composting of garbage.

Dumpster Rental in NJ

One problem in New Jersey that happens is dumping.

Walking down the road next to our property last night, we found four empty buckets of roofing tar. Thanks to whoever dumped this! We’ve been meaning to haul off some stuff to the land fill, but we didn’t need anymore to make a load. In this county (with a large and expanding suburban population) it seems like everybody and their brother is some kind of building contractor, and apparently someone doesn’t like visiting the landfill any more than I do.
 
Since the spot where the dumping happened is not visible from the house, there isn’t a heck of a lot to be done that’s easy, either. Well, since this is our first time for this sort of thing, I decided to try a little experiment to see if it might discourage repeat offenses.

I took the buckets, blasted a hole in each one with a shotgun, and lined them up along the road with an empty shell on top of each one. Maybe they’ll make the point. Not to overly defend city folk, but we are buying a rural farm and find that it’s much harder to get rid of trash in the sticks. Growing up in a rural area, there is no trash pickup.
 
We will have to recycle what we can (there’s a recycling center a few miles away) and find out where the landfill (called “the dump” when I was growing up) is located so we can haul the rest there.

In the city of Trenton we have unlimited trash pickup, just toss it out on the sidewalk on trash day, and presto it’s gone by 9 am. In fact, we will be renovating the farm house on weekends and bringing the trash back here to the city to dispose of with Trenton dumpster rental services!

That is indeed strange – last year we discovered several bags of trash along our private dirt lane. Inside, along with other household refuse, was a fair amount of mail addressed to a resident of the nearest town – about 5 miles away. I took all of the trash in my pickup back to his place and dropped it (not gently) on his front lawn. I cannot imagine what possessed him to drive all the way to our place to dump garbage that the town would pick up at his curb for free.

We have not had a repeat. There was not enough time to repair all of the damage before the current shift had to leave. The operators coming on shift did not know the actual state of the safety mechanisms. Running the plant at low power had allowed a build-up of Xenon. Increasing the activity of the core to overcome the Xenon should have been moderated by a defeated safety system, instead the desired change came too quickly and resulted in a critical excursion, followed by an explosion and fire.
 
The biological shield that prevented plant workers from being irradiated and sat on top of the core was held down purely by the force of gravity. The coolant ran through pressurised tubes, so there was no pressure vessel. There was no steel reinforced, concrete containment dome. There was no containment. Certain peculiarities in the control rods made the problem even worse, as they were non-uniform and had regions of water and graphite. When the graphite entered the problem area at the bottom of the core, it sped up the reaction, and things got bad.
 
The region near Trenton went prompt critical, and the resultant explosion hurled the entire atomic pile out of its reactor pit, which allowed oxygen to contact most, if not all, of the graphite moderator. If the problem had been at the top of the pile, many of the cooling channels might have survived, and the fire would have been a lot smaller for lack of surface area. While far from a technically accurate description of the problem, this is correct enough to show that some containment would have gone a long way.

There surely are lots of bad things that can be said about ‘city-folk’, but I’ve found them (at least those who move to the sticks) to be much more conscious of respecting their (and others’) property than many of the ‘locals’. I’ve personally encountered quite a few ‘been here all my life’ types tossing their empty beer cans etc. on my neighbor’s property.

So I don’t think all evils can automatically be chalked up to urban refugees. That said, it is difficult to dispose of trash in the sticks. Once you know where the landfill/dump/transfer station is you have to be able to get there during the very limited operating hours. In some cases you have to go to different places for different types of disposals.
 
Part of the reason I think is inconvenience is cheaper than convenience.

Most of the people in my neck of the woods are self employed and can take an hour on a Wednesday to do this stuff instead of waiting in a big line on Saturday. The more inflexible your hours are, the harder things like get- ting rid of trash will be.

Doesn’t excuse tossing it for everyone else to deal with, though. Around here, the price of dumping at the landfill is getting pretty high, mostly because of additional cost for dumping things like water heaters, refrigerators, mattresses, tires, etc.

‘Guess what, we see dumped beside the road here? I’m not advocating the practice but our over-regulating the landfills are adding costs and that motivates some people to dump on “other places”. For example, my last well tank and water heater that I dumped cost me $35.00 to take to the dump.

Storm pollution: How much it affects the environment?

Does sewage water pollute our environment?

The answer of the question “How much it affects the environment?” can vary from man to man. But it is obvious that storm pollution is affecting the environment a lot.

For example, motor oil is used by billions of people all over the world. This burned oil is being mixed up into ocean by storm drain pollution or by some other ways. When a quart of burned oil is being mixed up into river or ocean it contaminates 250,000 gallons of pure drinking water.

And guess what, in every year over 350 million gallons of burned oil is dumped into the ocean. Which is directly polluting the environment & destroying the under water life.

Not only this, wildlife is also being threatened by this kind of pollution. By drinking the water full of germs, chemicals, virus and burned oil these animals is getting sick.
 

What can we do?

Actually we can do many things. But matter of sorrow that we usually do not do anything special

Just think, it takes 42 gallons of crude oil to create 2 and 0.5 quarts of lubricating oil. The same 2 and 0.5 quarts are often created with 0.5 the maximum amount energy from only 1 gallon of recycled oil. It could be one way to reduce pollution.

We also have to recycle plastic or aluminum products and paper also. Cleaning the under water can be another solution. Because trash poses a threat to marine animals as they fight to eat it or get trapped or tangled within the debris.
 
People living in the city area are more responsible for pollution rather than rural/village people.

Storm is a natural calamity. It affects everyone living in town or village area. After storm there is a huge amount of pollutants or disturbing elements in the earth surface which are directly responsible for storm pollution. Pollution is must after any kind of natural disaster & when it is storm then it is guaranteed to storm water pollution or storm drain pollution.
 

How this pollution does happen?

Pollution can be happen from anywhere.

Even the cleanest cities in New Jersey and elsewhere in the nation are contributing to the pollution. City people are producing various kinds of wastes which are known as pollutants. This harmful element does not just vanish. They stay on the surface area and when storm or any other natural calamity occurs, these pollutants wash away with the water. The polluted water mixed with various water source and finally the get mixed. Not only this, there are more….

Burned Motor car oil directly dumped into the river or ocean which causes serious damage to nature. Human & animal waste is polluting water source directly or (in developing countries) washed away as the after effect of storm.Dangerous chemical & epidemic germs being spread by storm water which is more likely to storm drain pollution. Though these sensitive elements used to keep safe by professionals.

Let me tell you a personal experience of mine about visual pollution effects. Once I was going to a long drive. I was on the car and watching the road side view. The car was moving first. Suddenly advertise of a company drew my attention. The advertise was colorful & eye catching.

I looked at to the advertising and thinking about that. Than a thought comes to my mind. These colorful banners & posters doing marketing for sure but they are also responsible for pollution. This kind of pollution is causing for human. The interesting thing is that the pollution is causing for this is not causing psychical damage. This pollution is causing mental pollution.

Here is one of the visual pollution pictures.
 
In this point many of us will think that mental pollution will not harm much. But I will say that don’t underestimate this. This kind of pollution may not harm you directly but in the long run you will be sufferer.

In this stage one question will come to your mind “how can visual pollution harm us?.

For answering this we have to use our thinking power, our imagination. For visual pollution many problems may happen. I am discussing the most common ones, visual pollution blocks your view.

Its creates pressure on the brain. It reduce your power of thinking. In several times it creates depression among us.

Visual pollution causes for billboard is also responsible for air pollution because it prevent fresh air to enter your home. In many street various kind of electric cable is causing visual pollution. Not only that it also creates accident several times.

Natural vegetation and animals can be physically damaged by visual pollution. Visual pollution can harm us in many ways. We generally take visual pollution lightly. As a result we are unaware of the negative effect of visual pollution most of the time.

Visual pollution blocks our thinking power these why many artist go outside of the city in order to get rid of visual pollution to create something creative & useful.

What Is Solid Waste Management ?

The term “solid waste” is used to describe a wide variety of rubbish materials, including those that result from animal  human & activity but are ultimately thrown as undesired and pointless. In any given location, residential, commercial, and industrial activity will all contribute to the accumulation of solid waste, which can then be managed in a number of different ways.

As a consequence of this, landfills are often categorized as either sanitary waste sites, municipal waste sites, construction and demolition waste sites, or industrial waste sites.

One method for classifying waste is on the basis of the material it is composed of, including such plastic, newspaper, glass, metal, & organic waste. The potential for hazard is another factor that can be taken into consideration when classifying wastes as radioactive, combustible, infectious, toxic, and non-toxic.

The origin of the garbage can also be a factor in the categorization of waste into several categories, such as industrial, residential, commercial, institutional, or building and demolition debris.

Solid waste should  managed in a methodical manner in order to guarantee that environmental best practices are followed, regardless of where it came from, what it contains, or how dangerous it could be. Since the management of solid waste is an essential component of environmental hygiene, it is imperative that this component be incorporated into green infrastructure.

What Does It Mean To Manage Solid Waste?

The discipline that is associated with the control of the generation, storage, collection, transport &  transfer, processing, and disposal of solid waste materials in a manner  best addresses the range of public wellness, conservation, financial, aesthetic, engineering, &  other environmental considerations is known as solid waste management.

Planning, administration, financial management, engineering, and legal responsibilities are all included in the purview of Solid waste management. Complex inter-disciplinary connections between subjects such as public health, city & regional development, political science, geology, sociology, economic, communication & conservation, demography, engineering, & material sciences could be part of the solution.

Practices for managing solid waste can vary depending on whether the garbage was generated in a household or industrial setting, in an urban or rural setting, or in a developed or developing nation. In metropolitan regions, it is the responsibility of the local government agencies to manage the disposal of waste that does not contain dangerous materials.

On the other side, the management of hazardous waste products is often subject to local, national, &  even worldwide authorities. This is because individuals who generate the trash are typically responsible for its disposal.

The Waste Management System Consists Of The Following 6 Functional Components

Waste production refers to any activities that are involved in locating items that are no longer useable &  are either gathered for the purpose of systematic disposal or are discarded.

On-site handling, storage, & processing refers to operations that take place at the location where garbage is generated and make collection simpler. This makes it possible to collect waste more efficiently. For instance, waste bins are positioned at locations that produce an adequate amount of waste.

The placement of waste collection bins, the collection of waste from those bins, and the accumulation of trash in the area where collection trucks are emptied are all actions that are included in the waste collection phase of waste management, which is an essential phase of waste management. Even though transportation is included in the collection phase, this is often not the step that constitutes the bulk of the waste transportation process.

The process of moving garbage from the places where it is collected locally to the area where it is disposed of regionally involves a number of actions, including waste transfer and transport. Large waste vehicles are used for this movement.

The term “waste processing and recovery” refers to the facilities, equipment, and methods that are utilized in order to recover reusable and recyclable materials from the waste stream &  to improve the efficiency of other functional parts of waste management.

The very last step in waste management is the disposal stage. It includes the operations that are aimed at the methodical disposal of waste material in areas such as landfills or facilities that convert waste into electricity.

Does smoking pollute the air

It is easily understood how smoke pollution effect the air.

Yes you guessed it right; when a smoker smokes he is inhaling the smoke in & out. The chemical smock that has been created by burning of tobacco is causing the air pollution. You already know that cigarette contains more than 4000 harmful chemical elements which easily cause smoke pollution.

Some harmful elements that pollutes air, carbon monoxide, DDT, maltitor, formaldehyde,tar, methoprene, sulfuric acid, geranic acid, cyanide, freon, nicotine, hydrogen cyanide  and many more.

These all are dangerous for our health as well as our environment. Danger of smoking is wider than we thought. These elements burns and create smoking air pollution which will directly affect the atmosphere.  Our climate is changing rapidly so we have to be more conscious.

Smoke pollution

The answer of the question “does smoking pollute the air” is easy. Yes, it does. But the problem is we don’t know how much it pollutes.

It is generally thought that cars can do great harm to air pollution. No one would think that a small cigarette can do harm to environment then a car. I mean, think normally that a small cigarette vs a huge car. No match, isn’t it? But guess what: smoke affect the environment ten times higher than the car smoke which runs by diesel.

In a recent survey, scientists has found that smoking is one of the causes for destroying ozone layer on our atmosphere. By now you obviously know that how important ozone layer is for our environment. The layer of ozone is protecting us from harmful sunbeams and some of us is destroying this layer of protection very slowly. There are some chemicals on cigarette which destroy the ground level ozone layer.

I think I can make you understand that ozone layer is good for us and smoking is destroying that. Now matter of fact that ozone layer is destroying for some other reasons also, so why smoking is so special? Ok, think about that the ozone layer is protecting us from many defective cosmic rays which usually filtered by ozone layer.

The dangers of smoking

Because of the position of ozone layer is not near of us and the bad effect of cosmic rays is not rapid, we cannot feel the problem all the time. Here is the dangerous part of cigarette smock comes near. By smoking people are destroying the Ground-level ozone layer.

The effect of this is so far reaching & effective that we could easily understand the consequence of this bad habit.
Now let’s discuss about another reason of smoking bad effect. When a smoker inhales a cigarette, he does several tasks. He create pollutant call smoke, burns tobacco, it also burns oxygen.

Smoke creates 7-24 milligrams of pollutants all over the world round the year. While inhaling a cigarette a smoker also burns oxygen with every breath the take. It seems simple to hear but what would be your thought if I would tell you that 1.1 billion smoker burns oxygen while smoking only in United States?

Are you serious now?

Then please be informed that the statistics that I gave before was for the year of 1998 in this air pollution essay. At present what would be the number have you ever imagined?  Whatever the number is but the matter of fact that smoking is causing serious air pollution for sure.

Waste Disposal Methods

In general, trash ought to be subjected to either the recycling of its components or thermal treatment. After receiving the appropriate treatment, the trash is then dumped in a landfill in the event that it is not possible to do so for technical reasons or if it cannot be done at a profit.

Recycling

The term “recycling” can refer to both the direct reuse of used products (such as used clothing and functioning parts deleted from used vehicles) as well as material recycling, which is the recovery of raw materials from waste.

Direct reuse of used products includes things like used clothing & functioning parts removed from used vehicles e.g. production of new glass from fragment, the melting of scrap iron &  the production of recycled building material from construction waste.

The term “downcycling” refers to the process of converting garbage into materials that are of a lesser quality than the substance that was initially used.

Incineration

In municipal trash incineration plants &  waste wood furnaces, combustible waste from houses &  waste wood which is not suitable for reuse is subjected to thermal treatment. The heat that is produced throughout the process is captured and utilized in order to create energy and to warm up buildings.

As just a substitute for fossil fuels, industrial plants like cement mills can employ waste that has a high calorific value but a low rate of pollutant contamination in place of traditional fuel sources.

Waste that contains organic contaminants goes through a different thermal treatment process e.g. in hazardous waste incineration plants. Flue gas treatment systems are required to be installed in incinerators. The composition of the waste informs both the needs for the flue gas treatment system and the specifications for the incineration apparatus.

Companies that specialize in the disposal of garbage treat the waste in  manner that is compliant with the specifications of  incineration plant. This decreases the likelihood of an accident occurring while also ensuring that the gasoline will be of  high quality.

When liquids are combined, the corporations make certain, for instance, that there are no unfavorable reactions that take place. Crushing the waste materials  which  are going to be utilized as alternative fuels in cement plant and getting them to a consistent calorific value needs to be done in advance.

Cement Plants

Both chemical-physical treatment and biological treatment have the same overarching goal, which is to make it possible to either remove pollutants from trash or safely dispose of garbage in landfills. Wastewater and filthy material that has been excavated are two kinds of waste which  are typically managed in this manner. After undergoing chemical and physical treatment, the contaminants can then be disposed of in a concentrated state in facilities that are designed specifically for this function.

Landfills

Landfills that are in compliance with the regulatory criteria receive the residues that are left over from the incineration of waste or waste that is not appropriate for the recycling of materials or thermal treatment. It is necessary to pre-treat the trash in the event that it does not meet the criteria for disposal in landfills.

The Gathering And Organization Of Landfills

In the field of waste management, there are a wide variety of actors with specialized roles. Their responsibilities include the gathering of garbage at its origin (in industries such as industry and commerce as well as in households), the storage of that waste at intermediate locations, and the transfer of that waste to operations that deal with waste disposal. A series of increasingly specialized plants is frequently used in the process of waste treatment. In every scenario, effective waste management requires streamlined logistical operations as a necessary prerequisite. Documentation of the handover is required by the Ordinance on Movement of Waste for any situation involving the transfer of waste classified as hazardous.

Air pollution

This is a video about pollution.

To be more specific, it is a video about “air pollution”. In this video we have tried to highlight on problems that’s have been creating for pollution & why are these causing. This video has been made for the better understanding  about what is air pollution, what are the bad effect of its, why it causes etc. 

We have discussed it widely in our previous articles. This video is only a part of that article. This is about “Air Pollution” but there are lots of different type of pollution in our environment which we have mentioned early. We would love to make more videos on environment pollution in future if you give us full support.

Water pollution

One of the most important things is that you are not drinking polluted water when you want to drink it. In this article we will discuss about water pollution. Water pollution can caused for many reasons. One of the most dangerous water pollution is arsenic pollution.

Among many water pollution causes arsenic pollution is serious problem. You have to make sure that the water you are drinking is free from arsenic in order to protect your health from serious health injury. You have to be sure that you water purifier is able to purify arsenic from water.
 
Water is an important element of the human body.

Almost 65% of a human body is water. We cannot quench our thirst without water. Now think that what will happen if you are not able to ensure safe drinking water. Many things can happen when you will fail to ensure safe drinking water. Chemical contamination in drinking water is one of them. Arsenic contamination in one of them. In fact it is the leading one.
 
Contamination in drinking water is an age old problem.

Arsenic contamination is a recent problem though the chemical element “arsenic” has been discovered in 1250. Arsenic as a pollutant on water is not much older. It mainly cause for the industrial waste dumped into water or other contaminated element dumped into water directly.

We know that soil can filter any kind of elements. When these pollutants drops down to earth, it definitely cause land pollution. But that’s not the end, soil filter those pollutants and distinguish the contaminated elements from it. Surface water is a great source of pure drinking water. But when those contaminated elements reach to that source than water pollution causes.

Arsenic poisoning

 
Arsenic poisoning is harmful to human health; there is no doubt about it. But there is a measurement. Certain amount of arsenic in not that much harmful. When this level is exceed than arsenic poisoning symptoms appears.

It’s very threatening when you find arsenic in your drinking water. What would be your thought when you will be informed that your source of drinking is contaminated by arsenic? A minimum amount of arsenic in water is acceptable. But when the amount exceeds the limit than it became life threatening.

Presence of arsenic in drinking is direct threat to your health and life also. Several life threatening disease can cause for arsenic contamination. In a resent survey it has been found that several negative effects on our body can happen due to arsenic pollution.

One of the greatest arsenic poisoning symptoms that can happen from arsenic Contamination in drinking water is cancer. When the amount of arsenic is high on the source of water and a person is drinking that from a long period of time, than he or she can suffer from cancer.

Types of cancer can vary from person to person & country to country. Amount of arsenic and consuming time of drinking water should also be listed. There may be various types of cancer for arsenic contamination, such as bladder cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer and kidney cancer.

Many scientists believe that arsenic pollution causes birth defects. Arsenic pollutants slowly poison our body and cause serious damage of our peripheral nerve system. It creates harmful layer between our nerves and blood vessels. There are many other types of arsenic poisoning symptoms.

The main problem of arsenic pollution is that it could not easily detected. The process of arsenic contamination is very lengthy process. In several case studies it has seen that arsenic contamination is detected after a long period of time as 6 or 10 years.

Suppose you are drinking arsenic contaminated water for two or three months. It’s not enough to detect arsenic problem. Even the effects of arsenic pollution are not visible in many cases. This is why arsenic contamination is one of the dangerous water pollution causes.

So it is important for us to be aware of arsenic contamination. For that we have to be conscious about our drinking water. We should know what we are drinking. It should be remembered that water is vital element to live & other members of my family is also drinking it. So we should stay safe & make other members of our family protected from arsenic contamination.

What is Indoor air pollution

I am pretty much sure that you have clear concept on pollution, especially on air pollution.

You know what is air pollution and for what reason it happens. We all know what air pollution is but many of us didn’t know that we can categorize air pollution into two parts.

1. Indoor air pollution

2. Outdoor air pollution.

To common people air pollution only happens in the open road/area. They have no idea about indoor air pollution. They cannot even imagine indoor air pollution as pollution. In this topic we will try  to discuss about:

  • What is indoor air pollution?
  • Why it causes?
  • Who/what is responsible for it?

 

Now come to the first point, what is indoor air pollution?

The answer is very simple. When air polluted by those destructive and harmful elements/pollutants that comes from those equipment which we generally use in home for our daily comfort.

I am not telling that all the home equipment’s are bad. But there is some high configured machine that is causing air pollution. We are using those for our personal benefits. It is also true that indoor air pollution doesn’t cause for only the equipment, other things are responsible too.

The causes of air pollution

 
It’s time to talk about second topic, why it causes?

If I want to answer this in simple the answer would be easy. It’s our ignorance which is mainly responsible for it. Besides that the other elements are also responsible. We have to remember that those elements are used by us. So directly or indirectly the responsibility comes to us.

Another reason may be culture and trends of society. The culture of any developed country or mega city. The people in Australia, Canada or New York get used to with this kind of pollution because of their social trends.
 
The last topic of this article is who/what is responsible for it? I kind of answered this question before but now I would like to focus more detail. Let us think it like a story.

Mr. jone lives in New York. He come back from work & starts the air conditioner to heat up the room. Then he fires the stove and makes a nice cup of coffee. Than he sit in front of the TV set & enjoys his coffee with a cigarette. No traffic noise can disturb him because the window was closed.

This is a common matter in those cities. What we can get from this? There are some regular activities of jone which is quite normal but if we can look deeply there are some problems. Some activities of jone is causing indoor air pollution. Now you will ask me which one is causing pollution.
 
Let’s take a close look.

Air conditioner of jone is creating CFC gas.When he was making coffee then the stove was burning oxygen and producing other harmful gas.Smoking of jone is producing lots of harmful chemical gas.By closing window jone stops all kind of flow of air.

We have an analysis on the topic and tried to understand about air pollution (indoor). Air pollution is a great problem. Indoor air pollution is only a part of it. Indoor air pollution can easily be stopped or reduced. How we can solve the indoor air pollution will be discussed in next post.
 
If you are a smoker than this article might hurt your fillings because I will try to discuss about the bad effect of smoking. Let me tell you that my approach will be different than your thought. Many of you will think that I will tell you “smoking is bad”  “don’t smoke”  “it’s bad for your health”.

I won’t tell you that because I know that you already know that. Infect all the smoker do. Today my point will be “smoking is harmful for health, but it is also harmful for environment”. Yes smoking does create harmful effect on environment.

It’s a common thought of almost every smoker that “I know that by smoking I am doing harm to my health. So what? It’s my choice”. If you really think like this than please let me say that you are not right at all. Doing like this also affect others heath also.

What do you think; environment means only air, water, land and sky? No, human are also important part of environment. By affecting them you are also affecting the environment. It is just one side of a coin.

The story of other part of the coin is that by smoking a smoker is contributing harm directly to the environment.  There are some points that the smoker should know before they smoke. I will discuss those points in other article but a smoker should remind himself one thing very clearly that they are not only causing harm to their self but also they are contributing harm to the environment.
 

Water pollution

 
Raindrops are falling on my headand just like the guy who’s feet are too big for his bed,nothing seems to fit those, raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling…

Many of us have heard of this song. This song is so classical that whenever I listen to this song, my mind fills up with joy. It’s obvious that Rain plays an important role in environment. It’s an important part of environmental cycle. Rain also tunes our emotion. It’s a symbol of romanticism. When it starts raining we feel great pleasure like a cord of piano. Rain has helped human to create great literature.

But what will happen if the Rain turns in to horror. What if the symbol of romanticism threats you of your life? Can you imagine that rain drops could be a cause of death?

If the dangerous situation described above are true then what will happen? Unfortunately rain can cause dangerous damage when the rain drops turn into acid instead of water. Acid rain was first discovered in 1852 by an English chemist & the name of the chemist is Robert Angus.

What is acid rain?

Now i will define acid rain. Acid rain means the precipitation of rain drops that is toxic by harmful elements such as hydrogen ions (which contain low level of pH), harmful gas carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxides & nitrogen oxides.

These elements pollutes total atmosphere. Particularly this cause water pollution.  Mainly these occur from nitrogen & sulfur dioxide released from cars or other types of vehicle. Industrial chemical waste that is dumped into water is also an cause of acid rain.

Point to be noted that acid rain could be precipitated anything such as water, snow, hail, fog & pieces of ice. Among these entire elements one thing will be common – they all will be acidic.

We can learn from this acid rain essay is that there are two way of acid rain:

  • Dry or non-wet deposition

    •                   

  • Wet or liquid deposition

Now these term refers should be explained. These are also the causes of acid rain.
 

Dry or non-wet deposition

There are many area where the climate is dry in nature & here the dry deposition occurs. Chemicals from industrial factories transferred into dry dust or may be smoke & than it mixed up into ground through non-wet deposition. This dry deposition is polluting not only ground but also other materials.

These dry deposited gases and particles can be washed from these surfaces by rainstorms, leading to increased runoff. This runoff water makes the resulting mixture more acidic. About half of the acidity in the atmosphere falls back to earth through dry deposition.
 

Wet or liquid deposition

It is easily understandable that these kinds of depositions are not solid. Some example of Wet or liquid deposition are snow fall, heavy fog & rain.

There is no doubt that all the elements will be harmful. When local area is polluted by acidic chemical then it’s quite possible that the acid rain will fall in the form of those elements (acidic rain fall, heavy fog & snow).  

In wet deposition mainly the weather is wet in nature. Let us think deeply about this matter, acid rain or acid pollution is creating from the very land that we are living on and after traveling atmosphere it is returning back to our ground.

These polluted elements are being mixed into the soil. It is not only polluting the structure of soil but also the plants & animals are being harmed by it. Of course the effect is different from land to land. The measurement of pollution to fish in the water, animal on the forest would also be different.
