Disney Fireworks Pollution? Disney world, the world’s beloved theme park, putting a smile on every child’s face and pulling them into the magical world of Disney fairies and princesses, making people awestruck by the fantastic fireworks show every night, but has anyone wondered how much pollution is caused by these fireworks? I am sure none of us think about pollution when standing beneath the firecrackers bursting in the night sky but the growing problem of air pollution is no stranger to all of us. We keep hearing and reading reports about the depletion of ozone layer and the never-ending problem of Global warming. So why do we still allow these big companies like Disney to have fireworks show every night all year round? Although the fireworks …show more content…

Here are some of the testimonials given by residents of Anaheim: "My wife has asthma, and I have two kids that have asthma," resident Alejandro Robles, told the Titan. "When the fireworks go off, it really affects them and they have to go inside the house." "When the fireworks explode, the neighborhood turns into a wartime movie set," the Titan related. "People start to run for cover as ashes from the fireworks rain onto their cars and homes. Car alarms whistle and scream as dogs yelp and babies cry in the darkness." These are just a few testimonials from the residents of Anaheim. This problem of pollution is also affecting Hong Kong which already has a lot of pollution to deal with. But apparently, in 2002, Hong Kong’s Environmental Department was satisfied with the Disney’s reports which showed that they met the government standards of pollution and environmental effects. Although many refuse to accept this, Hong Kong didn’t pay attention to that. People have started wearing masks that cover their mouth so as to prevent themselves from inhaling the toxic chemicals. All this air pollution finally affects the environment and the ozone layer is getting depleted because of it. Disney may not be the sole reason for this but it is surely a part of

    Los Angeles is one such city that has had some success in controlling its air pollution, with plans that are different from the ones Phoenix is using.   Located in the Sunbelt, LA sees a lot of sunshine like Phoenix.  It, too, has had a large population growth like Phoenix and has had to respond to that accordingly.   Los Angeles has developed a few excellent plans to fight its air pollution, which I believe can also make a difference in Phoenix as well.  I propose that we integrate those plans from Los Angeles to enhance the battle of air pollution in Phoenix.

  • California Drought: The California Drought

    1268 Words  | 3 Pages

    People who work or exercise outside for a lengthy period are also vulnerable. Exposure to air pollution increases sensitivity to allergens, impairs lungs, causes asthma attacks and death (Climate change, 2007). Air pollution can cause short-term respiratory symptoms such as coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath (California’s drought, 2015). The most harmful pollutants in the air are ozone, fine particles, and air toxics. Since the drought causes warmer weather, levels of ozone or smog increase in the air. Ozone is the principal component of smog and it is dangerous on ground level, which affects human health, crops, and buildings. Ozone smog is formed when vehicle and factory pollution react with sunlight and heat (Climate change, 2007). The lack of storms due to the drought eliminates the natural cleansing effect of precipitation. The low levels of precipitation trap fine particles on ground level. Fine particles in the air are harmful when inhaled and can heighten respiratory illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis. Air toxics are the chemicals in the air that can cause cancer or serious health problems. Mercury, asbestos, and benzene are dangerous air toxics and diesel exhaust particulate is the number one airborne carcinogen in California (California’s drought, 2015). Allergens in the air also affect pollution as

    Light pollution happened slowly at first which was several decades ago it was a process that was hardly noticeable. A light here, a light there, burning way into the dark nighttime realm, helping us see in the darkness when people all their our beds fast asleep. The process still continues today, with little thought ever given to what we are stealing away. Our intentions are good but our methods need adjustment, and they needs to be done immediately. In fact, our methods should have been changed years ago, but nearly everyone has resisted, perhaps due to a profound lack of awareness. The use of too many lights at night can cause environmental pollution, known as light pollution. Light pollution can block our ability to see the original shining stars, which can affect people’s discoveries in astronomy. But since the lights are also very important for us at night when we are driving or walking alone on a street, I think there are certainly some solutions for protecting our natural environment while we can also use the lights at the same time. To admire the beautiful stars in the sky instead of looking at it in a picture, we can start to save energy resources by cutting off some unnecessary lights such as commercial building lights, outdoor residential lights, and by using shielded light to reduce the amount of light that we use in certain areas.
