Aws Alwattar Ms. White AP Biology May 19, 2015 Pollution, a silent death Imagine a world without pollution. A globe that’s free and open with clean and fresh air. Now this may sound like the perfect world to many, but to others it sounds impossible. It takes a lot to make it happen and there are many steps before reaching that perfect world. Pollution has many factors, from litter, garbage and plastics to oil spills, urban air and greenhouse gasses. Things like this cause natural disasters and environment hazards such as hurricanes, floods, avalanches and storms. The sad truth is that no matter what nature does it’s going to survive, humans are the ones in danger and they have do something to save the future generations. To start off,†¦show more content†¦While our bad decisions damage our water and animals, it could deflect and get us back. Urban air doesn’t only harm the economy it also kills us. Billions of people are exposed to air pollution, it’s everywhere. Urban air led up to one millio n premature deaths and one million pre-native deaths every year. Many conditions led to these outcomes, humans are not being wise with their choices. Factories and vehicle emissions are big problems that spread greenhouse gasses. Those gasses bring natural disasters that harm humans and the world. People don’t think too much of carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane and nitrous oxide could make a difference in the world. From burning fossil fuels, carbon dioxide goes into the atmosphere making the worlds temperature much hotter than it should be. Global warming then melts the arctic and makes the ice thinner. Since 1979, the size of the North Pole shrunk by twenty percent, the polar bears are drowning. If the ice melts global flooding could occur and humans might not survive. People might not understand the relationship between factories, vehicle emissions and the melting of the North Pole. Sadly, there’s a limited amount of fossil fuel in the world. Humans need to consu me it in a smart way. Instead of using it for factories or transportation, they have use it as minimum as they can. Humans use products that are made from fossil fuels, plastic is made of plants and oil or natural gas, which means it’s
