The effect of air pollution is heavier on the country itself. The effects of air pollution to the Filipinos and the Philippines are as follows- One is the health of the Filipinos, two the global warming and three is the depletion of ozone layer. As pollution gets higher the ozone layer gets thinner, and all of these consequences are made by humans. The Filipinos also need to know where does pollution came from.
Moreover, the second biggest contributor to the bad air pollutant in the Philippine atmosphere can be found in big or small factories across the city of Metro Manila. Here in the Philippines, other countries are starting to build different kinds of factories because of the growing population of the Filipinos thus more demand of supply.

To summarize everything that is stated above, Air pollution is the worst enemy of all countries in the world. It is one thing that the countries cannot avoid it but they can lessen/reduce it. Reducing the contamination in Air will take up loads of adjustment to the Filipinos. By adapting a new lifestyle and embracing the problem of what air pollution brings to the Philippines will have a better understanding on how to fix this economical problem. Being a knowledgably Filipino will go a long way to serve the Philippines. Preventing short and long term illness that brought upon by bad air will reduce if the Filipino people will cooperate to the suggested simple ways on how to lessen omitting air pollution in their surroundings. The Philippines is a country full of heavenly body of waters, with tall mountains, and healthy provinces which consist of full bloomed trees/plants. Having to just destroy it because of omitting numerous gas emissions from vehicles and factories that blasts smoke will destroy the environment of where the Filipino people are living. The fact that the Filipino people can do little things one step at a time will bring a huge impact to the Philippines such as recycling and commuting. Moreover, the faith of the environmental pollution lies on the hands of the Filipino people. Certain values must be adapted in order to change the mentality and behaviour of the Filipinos. In all together, it will bring awareness and Filipino people will act on the
Many people are unknowingly exposed to air pollution and have no idea. Some common causes of air pollution are automobiles, factories, landfills and toxic materials. Air pollution destroys the environment; it causes climate change because it greatly affects the greenhouse effect and it causes acid rain. Acid rain contaminates water and destroys animal’s homes. Air pollution has many effects on people it causes coughing, elevates your risk of asthma, wheezing, it can cause diseases and birth defects. It’s estimated “that seven million people died prematurely in 2012 from exposure to air pollution and that air pollution can cause cardiovascular diseases. The use of incinerators has caused protest movements from the Chinese citizens because they are becoming aware of the air pollution that is being given off from the burning of their trash and the effects it has on their health. There have been many reports of premature births and stillbirths of pregnant women that live near garbage incinerators”( Professional Safety, 2014, p.
Residents living closest to manufacturing plants and factories reap the most adverse health affect, however, hazardous air pollutants effect the ozone layer which effects everyone.
Pollution is affecting many individuals and life, as we know it. We need to do something about how it’s affecting our world. That’s why I urge the issue that more people should realize that pollution is an issue that needs to be prevented because of its negative consequences. Which are health affects, the total destruction of environments, and the death of animals and plants. More awareness must be brought up amongst the people and they must realize the long-term benefits it has for the world.
The factors of production include land, labor, capital, and enterprise. Sweatshops must extract natural resources during the production process, which refers to one the factors of production: Land. Land not only including soil, but also means gas, river, oil, coal, and so on. Running a factory must involve all those things. When a country has plenty of factories, then the natural resources in that country will be overexploited. Moreover, heavy industrial will cause air pollution because they combusted large amount of coal. Usually factories occupy huge place, therefore company will cut down all the trees in the forest. For example, Shanghai has very serious smog problem. According to “Aqicn”, a real-time Index of air quality website for over 60 courtiers, the PM2.5 index in Shanghai is between 100 to 169in the last two
...and production is thought to be one of the leading causes of this pollutant in the atmosphere. Taller smoke stacks on factories manage to carry the pollution farther away from nearby populations, but in doing this they also manage to carry the pollutants to a much wider range. The chemicals can be carried high and far into the atmosphere and can be deposited in areas far from the initial source of the pollution. (5)
Air Pollution in Mexico City Mexico City adds an estimated one million new residents each year, resulting in one million new additions to the city’s already abominable air quality (Collins, 119). Over the span of a generation, Mexico City’s air has gone from being one of the world’s cleanest to one of the world’s most polluted, as well as the most polluted in its country. The average visibility in the city is down from almost 100 km in the 1940s to only 1.5 km today, removing the once beautiful landscape of the surrounding snow-capped volcanoes (Yip, 1). More significantly, however, Mexico City’s air problems have resulted in a notable decrease in the health of its residents, particularly its children. There are a variety of reasons for the decline in air quality, including factory emissions, suspended particles, vehicles, as well as problematic geographic hindrances.
Air pollution is known to affect human and animal life. Plants are also affected indirectly as air pollution is known to cause acid rain, an even deeper detriment to plant life than most. Lung related diseases are among the most important features that the world have come
There are many kinds of air pollution. The ones I want to talk about are the ozone, acid rain, carbon monoxide and toxic air contaminants. Ozone is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide react in sunlight. Therefore, ozone is at its peak during hot summer days. Exposure to high levels of ozone can have serious consequences on your health. It can cause respiratory disease, loss of pulmonary elasticity, and premature aging of our lungs. Next, is acid rain, which occurs in the atmosphere in the form of sulfur and nitrogen oxide. These pollutants can have serious damaging affects on aquatic, forest and wildlife ecosystems, as well as deterioration of buildings. Carbon monoxide is another form of pollution. It reduces the blood?s ability to carry oxygen. If a human is exposed to higher levels, it can cause chest pains, angina attacks or even death.
One of the most dangerous environment issues Southern California is facing today is air pollution. This includes the burning of fossil fuels and natural disasters. Los Angeles is one of the most polluted cities in the world, and the most polluted city in the United States. I will research information about the causes, the effects, and the history of air pollution in the Los Angeles. For my research, I have relied mostly on, the school’s database and library, as well as current events.
Until 10 years ago, air pollution was thought to be just an urban or local problem until it was discovered that the pollutants could move across continents and oceans. Air pollution is the fundamental factor that causes greenhouse gases, hence climate change and global warming. Air pollutants are the waste products generated from industrial and other processes. They usually come in gases, though aerosols (particles suspended in air, emitted as or formed by transformatio...
Air pollution is caused by many things such as car fumes, burning of fossil fuels,
Not only are human beings affected but also animals and plants. Air pollution might be most noticeable around our congested towns but the thin layer of air that envelops the Earth is polluted at several balances. It is contaminated indoors, locally, regionally, and globally. Smog sagging over cities is the most familiar and obvious form of air pollution. But there are different kinds of pollution some noticeable, some invisible that contribute to global warming. Normally some element that people present into the atmosphere that has harmful effects on humans and animals and the environment is known as air pollution.(Sarah
Air pollution according to the Wikipedia << is the introduction of particulates, biological materials, or other harmful materials into the Earth’s atmosphere, possibly causing disease, death to humans, damage to other living organisms such as food crops, or the natural or built environment>>. Therefore, human being should be aware of the facts that the environment and all living creatures are dying. They need to understand the importance of natural items, the nature, etc…
One of the most popular effect of air pollution in the world is global warming. With increased temperatures worldwide, the increase in sea levels causes melting of ice and this causes loss of habitat have already signalled a disaster if something for preservation or normalization is not done it will affect the world even more. Species that stay in the ice area, they will be in the verge of extinction. The Paris Agreement is an international treaty, under which all countries in the world have agreed to do their best to reduce gases that cause global warming. The following are the major effects of air pollution:
Every other day a new industries are being set up, new vehicles on roads and trees are being cut to make way for new homes. All of them, indirect way lead to increase in CO2 leads to melting of polar ice caps which increase the sea level and pose danger for the people living near coastal areas. Pollution can have an impact in our health not only affects people with impaired respiratory system such as asthmatics, but very healthy adults and children too. Exposure to pollution for 6 to 7 hours, even at relatively low concentrations, reduces lung function and induces respiratory inflammation and, healthy people during periods of moderate
