Air pollution is one of the most important issues in our planet. It cul be produced by many factors such as:

GREENHOUSE GASSES: These susbtances are produced by the combustion of vehicles, chimneys and devices using fossil fuels. These gases, such as a methane, carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides trap the heat produced by planet, causing extreme weather conditions, rise in mold, and healt problems.

SMOG: This is a susbtance produced by the reaction of nitrous gasses and volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere, which not only create a brown haze that reduces visibility in our cities, but also may harm plants and lead to respiratory distress in our body.

TOXIC POLLUTANTS: The burning of susbtances such as heavy metals and some organic compounds may lead to environmental and health problems for humans.

It´s accours when harmful ,or dangerous gases or biological molecules are in to the earths atmosphera. It can cause the dead of people

In 2014 -WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION-the air pollution in 2012 could caused the dead of aproximately 7 million people worldwide.

The atmospheric contamination is the presence in the air of risky materials or forms of energy that can negatively affect live forms, this harmful gases or materials could be natural caused, for example volcanic eruptions; but most of our air pollution is man-made substances, such as energy production, waste incineration, transport, deforestation, among others.

Although air is still made up mostly of oxygen (21% by volume) and nitrogen (78% by volume), mankind, through its pollution, has increased the levels of many trace gases. Some air pollutants make people sick, causing breathing problems and increasing the likelihood of cancer. Others are harmful to plants, animals, and the ecosystems in which they live. Some air pollutants return to Earth in the form of acid rain, which corrodes statues and buildings, damages crops and forests, and makes lakes and streams unsuitable for fish and other plant and animal life.

Atmospheric Contamination 2 (Sara Rojas)

2018-10-28 17:12:58 UTC

In order to understand the causes of Air pollution, several divisions can be made. Primarily air pollutants can be caused by primary sources or secondary sources. The pollutants that are a direct result of the process can be called primary pollutants. A classic example of a primary pollutant would be the sulfur-dioxide emitted from factories.

Secondary pollutants are the ones that are caused by the inter mingling and reactions of primary pollutants. Smog (is used to designate air pollution that occurs in some cities as a result of the combination of certain climatic circumstances and specific pollutants) created by the interactions of several primary pollutants is known to be as secondary pollutant.

Some possible solutions for this phenome are by using public mode of transportation,conserve energy, understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, emphasis on clean energy resources, use energy efficient devices; are some of the possible solutions to the atmospheric solutions.

Atmospheric Contamination(Angie Hernandez)

2018-10-28 17:17:48 UTC

The pollutants are classified as primary or secondary. Primary pollutants are usually produced by processes such as ash from a volcanic eruption. Also include carbon monoxide gas from motor vehicle exhausts or sulphur dioxide released from the factories.

Also people are polluting the planet because we do not throw the garbage where it has to be, we throw it in the street, on the beach. Causing the garbage to reach the sea and cause the sea animals to die or reach the garbage to the pipes.
Can further be classified into two sections- Visible air pollution and invisible air pollution. Another way of looking at ir pollution could be any substance that holds the potential to hinder the atmosphere or the well being of the living beings surviving in it. The sustainment of all things living is due to a combination of gases that collectively form the atmosphere; the imbalance caused by the increase or decrease of the percentage of these gases can be harmful for survival.
EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION.
1. Respiratory and heart problems: They are known to create several respiratory and heart conditions along with Cancer, among other threats to the body.
2. Global warming: Another direct effect is the immediate alterations that the world is witnessing due to Global warming.
3. Acid Rain: Harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere during the burning of fossil fuels.
5. Effect on Wildlife: Just like humans, animals also face some devastating affects of air pollution. Toxic chemicals present in the air can force wildlife species to move to new place and change their habitat. The toxic pollutants deposit over the surface of the water and can also affect sea animals.

ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION (Daniella Trujillo)

In my point of view the atmospheric contamination is produced by deforestation, as there are no soils to cultivate, they cut the trees damaging the nature and even animals. The industrialization because it is the production of factories and machines used with fuels. Pesticides also because it harms the floors and produces the accumulation of gases in the air.  Mining because the use of heavy machinery with fuel use (gasoline, ACPM) damaging the air.  Including forest fires and volcanic eruption because they damage agricultural soils and fields. And the most important is the burning of fuels (petrol, gas, coal).

To reduce this impact on the atmosphere we can recycle all recidus (paper, cardboard, glass, batteries, plastic). We can even implement the use of bicycles to reduce the use of fuels. Another alternative that we can use is to increase the consumption of vegetables because livestock produces 14% of Atmospheric Contamination.  We can also recycle our clothes and verify If this are made of natural marterials,  and finally cultivate our own food, because they will not be altered by any chemical.And taking into account this, we can improve our world if we preserve the natural resources recycling it and also taking care of those . Also our organism will be more healthy including animals because the species will be grateful because there will not be a change of climate so the species will be preserved more.

I understand that the atmospheric contamination is when a excessive quantity of substances including gases,particulates and the biological molescules are introduced into the earth's atmosphere .One of the most dangerous causes are us , example the over population , the excessive quantity of industries that produce dangerous gases , it can produce a very critical climate changes, there are different causes of air pollution and in cities, most of them usually come together. One of the main problems detected is the large number of vehicles that circulate in large cities. Although it is increasingly common to find green cars, there are still a large number of means of transport that emit harmful gases ,

HOW THIS CAN AFFECT US?
- Increase in the population that has allergies.

- Development of heart diseases.

- Increase in people suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma or insufficiency.

- Increasingly alarming numbers of people affected by some type of cancer.

And now a very famous topic about it "the green house effect" ( is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere )

Atmospheric Contamination (Nikol Suaza)

2018-10-28 22:26:51 UTC

Atmospheric Contamination cause by the different types of smog have been become the potential enemy for humans.

Countries that depend on coal for energy experience high levels of industrial smog developing gases like VOCs, those compounds easily become vapor and may contain elements, such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen chlorine and sulfur; in union with gases like VOCs and nitrogen oxide reacting with sunlight produce secondary pollutants called PANs.

In consequence of the production of that gases, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight provides the energy necessary to breakdown molecules that contribute to smog formation which make them both are key ingredients in photochemical smog.

Secondary pollutants found in photochemical smog can damage and weaken crops and decrease yield making them more susceptible to insects.

Industrial and photochemical smog combine manmade pollution and the incomplete combustion of gas in motor vehicles release nitrogen oxide make Photochemical smog and airborne particles from vehicle emissions affect many rapidly developing cities.

Yet for decades, smog was seen as he inevitable price of civilization. As a solution Governments are considering a shift to mass transit and away from fossil fuels may allow us to breathe easier.

Atmospheric contamination(Danna Riaño)

2018-10-28 23:13:55 UTC

The atmospheric contamination is one of the biggest preoccupations in these times, these affects the environment and the living beings .It is because of the pollutants, there are two types:
- primary pollutants:contaminants produced by the atmosphere.
-secondary pollutants :substances originating from chemical proceses.
CONSEQUENCES
The atmospheric contamination causes a lot of changes in the environment (climate, water, air),Etc. It could be dangerous to the nature,to us and also to another living beings. Some of the effects that causes the atmospheric contamination are:
~climate changes
~global warming
~deforestation
~forest fire
~fauna and flora destruction
SOLUTIONS
As the atmospheric contamination has causes and cosequences it has a solution, we could reduce these effects of the pollutants in our planet or even stop it. To make it true we have to:
*recycle
*reduce the use of plastic
*save Walter, energy
*protect the environment

ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION (SAMUEL NICHOLLS)

2018-10-29 00:05:38 UTC

Let's start by remembering that air pollution is the presence in the atmosphere of substances, materials or forms of energy that pose a serious problem, danger or harm to humans or the environment
One of the main problems we face as a human being is the survival of the planet, high levels of pollution and poor development practices
The accumulation of gases in the atmosphere has caused the appearance of large fissures in the ozone layer which has generated other phenomena of notable negative impact, such as climate change and global warming
MINING EXTRACTION
Many minerals are obtained thanks to chemical products and the use of heavy machinery that pollutes the air with dust particles and gases. In addition, the extraction generates, in a good number of cases, irreparable damages in the environments.
USE OF PESTICIDES IN AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Insecticides, pesticides, fertilizers and other chemical products are used for the cultivation of food, which causes serious damage to the soil and favors the accumulation of gases in the air.
EXCESIVE INDUSTRALIZATION
The increase of factories and mass consumption are another cause of air pollution. The greater the demand for items, the greater will be the harmful effects for the planet.
BURNING OF FUELS
Conventional means of transport burn a large amount of fuel and turn them into gases, something that also influences the quality of the air we breathe.
DEFOSTERATION
As there are no suitable soils for planting plant species, the number of trees is reduced. And this, in turn, prevents many of the polluting gases that circulate in the air can be neutralized and the air is cleaned
HOW CAN WE HELP?
We can make valuable contributions to help
To recycle waste, products and materials, in this way we avoid that the demand of articles increases and that the factories in turn produce new units
Use of bicycles or other alternative means of transport and, above all, that do not contaminate the environment.
Incorporating vegetarian dishes into the menu, livestock is closely related to the emission of greenhouse gases, more than 14% of gases of this type are due to this activity
Protect the soil, respect the natural cycles of growth, avoid the use of chemical substances or genetically modified organisms.
Grow our own food at home, naturally and without altering natural growth cycles.

Atmospheric Contamination (Andres Rodriguez)

never1andres — 2018-10-29 01:16:27 UTC

The atmospheric Contamination is understood as the presence in the air of materials that are famage for all the living things on the earth,There exist two types of contaminants(Causes)
PRIMARIES
Are ones that emitte directly into the atmosphere such as sulfur dioxide SO2
Which directly damage vegetation and is irritating the lungs
SECONDARY
Are those that are formed by atmosphereic chemical processes that act on primary pollutants or non polluting species in the atmosphere
The principal types of contaminants on the air are:
The gaseous pollutants are vapors and gaseous pollutants appears in different concentrations and the aerosols
Lets took an example in this contamination only in colombia cities like medellin and bogota (solutions)
The solution they used are
-use bicicles like transport
-use electric cars
-reclycle and reduce
-reduce the use of fosils gases(120)
The cities that have more contaminant atmosphere are:
-1 karachi (pakistan)
The reasons are the automovilistic industry
-2 Delhi (india)
The reasons are the quality of the air causes for more than 30 millions of cars at day
-3 beijin (china)
The reasons are the millions of industries that geners pollution air
-4 los angeles (united states)
The reason are the hight level of the global fires and the amount of cars(185)
5 paris (france)
The reasons are the dirt and the automobilistc level increase

atmospheric Contamination(Maria Fernanda Torres)

2018-10-29 01:40:07 UTC

The main causes of air pollution have been increasing thanks to the increase in the burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas, which are mostly produced in road transport.

Of course, energy can be related here because it causes the formation of cars to increase and cause the smoke produced to become a great trigger for atmospheric pollution.

In various analyzes, great culpability has been identified towards private cars, which is why the use of bicycles or electric cars is advised.

Consequences

This can have serious consequences such as changes in climate, air and water. All this will affect the human being in terms of diseases such as:

*Heart disease

*Lung cancer

* Deterioration in the environment

* Various types of cancer

* This can also affect the environment so that:

*Climate changes

*Deforestation

*Global warming

* Destruction of fauna and flora

Solutions

To help the environment we must:

* Recycle and classify each waste so that it has its due process

* Reuse water if possible

* Do not buy plastic bags as these are the most detonating since these can deteriorate the marine fauna

So we have to take advantage and save our beautiful world.

Atmospheric Contamination(Gabriela Mora)

2018-10-29 21:55:22 UTC

I think that the atmospheric contamination is a REAL PROBLEM,but the people prefer to ignore it and expect someone to do something.

The atmospheric contamination consist in diferent airborne substances clasified dusts, fibres fumes, mists, smokes, vapours, gases or biological agents.

Some causes of the atmpspheric contamination are

1. Burning of Fossil Fuels
2. Agricultural activities
3. Exhaust from factories and industries.
4. Mining operations.
5. Indoor air pollution.

We see how every day the environment is polluted even if we do not realize it, even we pollute the environment in our day to day.

Now the effects of air pollution are
1. Respiratory and heart problems: Pollution can create various diseases such as cancer or respiratory infections, millions of people die because of this, whether they are directly or indirectly affected.

2. Acid Rain: Harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are released into the atmosphere during the burning of fossil fuels. When it rains, the water droplets combines with these air pollutants, becomes acidic and then falls on the ground in the form of acid rain.

3. Effect on Wildlife:Animals also suffer from pollution. Toxic gases force them to change habits and exhaust their food.

SOLUTIONS FOR ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION

1. Use public mode of transportation:
Do not use cars, buses, etc. It is better to use another type of transportation such as bicycles, or walking.

2. Understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle: Do not throw away items that are of no use to you. In-fact reuse them for some other purpose.

3. Conserve energy:
Turn off the lights when they are not being used, disconnect the charger when the device is already charged, if possible use solar panels.

atmospheric contamination(juliana neuque)

astridjulianan17 — 2018-10-29 22:00:23 UTC

atmospheric polution refers to air pollution is described as the presence of matter in the air or atmosphere , this can cause difficulties to see, breathe and even multiple diseases.

This affects our health in circumstances such as:
- Increase in the population that has allergies.

- Development of heart diseases.

- Increase in people suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma or insufficiency.

- Increasingly alarming numbers of people affected by some type of cancer.

The causes of these contaminations are :
- Primary pollutants :

Nitrogen oxides
Carbon monoxide
Volatile organic compounds
Sulfur oxides
Particulate matter
Mercury..

- Secondary pollutants :

these are formed from the oxidation of sulfuric acid and nitrogen dioxide.

-Mining extractions
-Use of pesticides in agricultural activities
-Excessive industrialization
-The increase of factories and mass consumption
-Burn of fuels

SOME CONSEQUENCES CAN BE:
- fires and deforestation
- contamination of water
- destruction of flora and fauna
SOME SOLUTIONS:
* do not use fossil fuels
* use renewable energies
* Decrease carbon dioxide emissions
* recycle more
* Walk or ride a bicycle
* enhance and protect natural spaces
* plant more trees
* Ventilate the house and purify the air
* Produce less smoke at home
* Use ecological cleaning products

Organizations that help !!
Thanks to organizations such as the ONU ,the world has been opening its eyes. Scientists show how dangerous and harmful this problem is.This is the case, for example, of the Smog Free Tower, a tower to absorb smog.

Atmospheric Contamination (Andres Perdomo)

2018-10-29 22:41:13 UTC

I am going to start with the first thing, the atmospheric contamination is caused by the non-made and made gases that go to the atmosphere, it is the major cause of the global warming and cancer in the world, half of the american population is breathing this "effect" causing 29.000 deads per year.
I think this is major caused by all the humans in their daily life and we don´t pay attention to this.
Imagine if a normal person go to his/her job with a car and the job is 500 meters away from his/her home, that person is making 244,000 "meters" of gas per year, that´s a lot of gas for 1 person.
My solution to this contamination is using less cars, motorbikes, trains, and using more bycicles, skateboards, skates, and more means of tranportations to reduce the contamination and we will have a healthier civilization.
Other solutions can be reducing the use of use of sprays, don´t burning tires, plant more treesamd if it is possible making an ambiental law that prevent the cration of toxic gases.
We have to take awareness of this situation and save our world, we have time yet

(Alejandro Rivera)
The green house effect gases emitions must be controled by some organization. It´s proved that the world wide powers won´t control their emissions because their manofacturing is based in fossil fuels(emissions of CO₂and CO)that means their economic supply can´t be stopped, which means that unless the humanity finds another energy source the planet earth is condemned to die byn the hands of the humanity and if I could number right now the amount of factors that prove that we are menaging the planet to death I would spend the rest of my life writing this paper but I can name some possible solutions for this problems
1Find another source of energy like clean electricity based on eolic energy and maybe solar energy
2 Stop trying to create a being to supplant us, maybe we are not taking care of our world we also are the only ones that can do something to stop the changes that our world is facing and that we cause. We don´t need a A.I to supplant us. We need the technology yes but we need it to help us to save the planet not to be our succesors over the surface of this planet

(luis alejando s)

problems:
1: Pollution is the process of making land, water, air or other parts of the environment dirty and not safe or suitable to use. This can be done through the introduction of a contaminant into a natural environment, but the contaminant doesn't need to be tangible. Things as simple as light, sound and temperature can be considered pollutants when introduced artificially into an environment
2:
*global warming
*climate changes in the environment
gases emisions in earth and in ozone layer
*deforestation

3:
*types: water pollution
*air pollution
*noise pollution
etc.
4:
causes in the world :
Air pollution is currently the leading environmental cause of premature death.
According to the World Health Organization approximately 7 million premature deaths annually are due to the effects of air pollution.

affect ecosystems, including agriculture ,health in people,cities,industry etc.
In Europe alone, annual crops losses due to ozone are worth several million of euros

Although all plans to minimise climate change depend critically on swift action to reduce CO₂ emissions,and possibles damage in health as cancer and wildlife
5: solutions:
start to use new transports like bicicles,electric cars,reduce the use of gases and aereosol etc

Atmopheric Contamination (Julian Ramos)

2018-10-29 23:05:33 UTC

In my opinion I do not like people to hurt our planet, because this is our area and they harm the environment they are also hurting themselves for not taking care of our planet. CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENT DO NOT DO MORE DAMAGE

What is Air Pollution?

- Pollution is now a common place term, that our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it. It occurs when any harmful gases, dust, smoke enters into the atmosphere and makes it difficult for plants, animals and humans to survive as the air becomes dirty.

- The Ozone layer considered crucial for the existence of the ecosystems on the planet is depleting due to increased pollution.

Causes of Air pollution

- 1. Burning of Fossil Fuels: Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory combustibles is one the major cause of air pollution. Pollution emitting from all the vehicles incluuiding airplanes.
2. Agricultural activities: Ammonia is a very common by product from agriculture related activities and is one of the most hazardous gases in the atmosphere.
3. Exhaust from factories and industries: Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into the air there by depleting the quality of air.

4. Mining operations: Mining is a process where in minerals below the earth are extracted using large equipments.
5. Indoor air pollution: Household cleaning products, painting supplies emit toxic chemicals in the air and cause air pollution.

Effects of Air pollution

1. Respiratory and heart problems
2. Global warming
3. Acid Rain
4. Eutrophication
5. Effect on Wildlife
6. Depletion of Ozone layer

Solutions for Air Pollution

1. Use public mode of transportation
2. Conserve energy
3. Understand the concept of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
4. Emphasis on clean energy resources
5. Use energy efficient devices

Atmospheric contamination (Miguel Huertas)

2018-10-29 23:39:20 UTC

For me the atmospheric contamination are all types of gases that rise to the atmosphere and begin to pollute more and more, damaging the ozone layers and the human body.
There are two types of pollution that are the primary ones that go directly to the atmosphere such as sulfur that damages the lungs, the secondary ones are attracted by chemicals, both pollutants will dry the planet and cause diseases in people.
There are polluting gases such as CFC, Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide, Sulfur dioxide, Methane and Ozone.
effects of such gases: ozone is a form of oxygen found in the upper atmosphere of the earth. The damage to the ozone layer occurs mainly through the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the ozone layer absorbs some solar rays before they reach the surface and this allows life on earth.
some possible solutions for this problem would be to recycle since the garbage in the earth causes polluting gases, to use electric means of transport since the cars produce a lot of gas, use renewable energies, look for alternatives for the main pollutants that are the factories or that come from the oil, prohibit burning of garbage or other objects. These would be for me some solutions for the environment but I also wanted to add to change the way of thinking of the new generations and be able to maintain and save it, not destroy it and finish it.

Thank you

In the cities is the most familiar and obvious place ,where we can find the atmospheric contamination...
doing it more dangerous for us, that live in a city

The Leading Pollutant

Is the carbon dioxide ,that is produced by planes,cars,power plants and anyother activity make by the humans that envolve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas.

FACT
The industrial revolution was when the human started to change the earth, and one of these terrible consecuenses by the human´s fabrics was the atmospheric contmaintion by the burning of fuels like I had said before.
So I think that in the industrial revolution was when we "started" to "kill" the earth.

SOLUTIONS THAT I PROPOSED
WHAT CAN WE DO?

REDUCE ATMOPHERIC EMITION OF CARBON DIOXIDE IN FABRICS.

GENERATE THE RENEWABLE ENERGY.
sometimes this is sadly the lower solution that we can do ... Because It is so expensive and it could not be accesible for media ,poor people ... I hope it could be realised .

REDUCE ATMOSPHERIC EMITION OF CARBON DIOXIDE BY THE FABRICS.
they can use filters for where the smog will be expulsed
eolic energy too, lower use of raw materials

RECYCLE .
In my opinio this is one of the more viable change that we can do,but sometimes we do not know how to do it which is not cool . For that reason I propose classes about recycle , why we have to do it , and how .
But a really explantion, beause I want to help to look after my plannet but I do not have idea ,and my family too .

DISEASES
The most common diseases are of respiratory, which is completly logical.

The WHO had taken some "solutions" or measures about the atmospheric contamination in 2014 ...
~~THE INFORMATION ABOUT _WHO_ WILL BE FIND IN MY FIRST POST .~~

the planet belongs to everyone, so we have to do the change possible TOGETHER...
the change will be possible acquiring the information and

Atmospheric contamination

2018-10-29 23:56:06 UTC

(Daniel cogua)
The causes of air pollution are the result of industrial processes that involve the combustion of natural resources such as coal, oil and gas. These combustions occur mostly in the industrial sector and in road transport, but also to a lesser extent in residential heating and small installations. In all these processes dioxide and carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur are generated among other harmful gases main pollutants of the atmosphere.
If we talk about road transport, the air pollution produced represents 80% of the total issued in Spain. It comes basically from the transport of passengers, of which 90% makes the transfers by road while an irrelevant 5% does it by rail, the rest of the air pollution comes from the transport of goods through the road network, -which although the percentage of heavy trucks does not exceed 10% of all vehicles that circulate, emit between 30 and 40% of the nitrogen oxides and particles in suspension, thus becoming the largest emitters of sulfur dioxide.
solutions:

-Recycling of waste, products and materials. In this way we avoid that the demand for articles increases and that the factories, in turn, produce new units. The environmental impact will be less.

-Prolonging the useful life of objects. This is a measure in tune with the previous one and that invites creativity to be used. For example, old and worn wool sweaters may not work for day-to-day, but if they fall apart and weave again, they can become a mid-season blanket.

-Use of bicycles or other alternative means of transport and, above all, that do not contaminate the environment.
Consuming responsibly. By adopting responsible consumption habits such as buying Fair Trade products or saving on our energy consumption, we will make sure that our consumption - which is inevitable - has the least impact on the planet and also on the human being itself.

-Incorporating vegetarian dishes into the menu. Livestock is closely related to the emission of greenhouse gases. According to Greenpeace, more than 14% of gases of this type are due to this activity. You can contribute to reduce this information in a really delicious way: try some of the vegetarian recipes that you will find in the free healthy food guide of Oxfam Intermón.

-Paying attention to the type of cultivation of fresh foods. Organic farming takes care of the planet: it protects the soil, it respects the natural cycles of growth, it avoids the use of chemical substances or genetically modified organisms.

-Looking at the label of our clothes. The tendency to buy a garment, use it, and throw it away later to buy another one is consuming natural resources such as water. Fortunately, there are more sustainable options for the planet, such as textiles from Veraluna, a Fair Trade brand that uses natural fibers of organic origin, or the company Ecoalf, which makes garments with waste materials.

Thank you!

Pollution is everyone's problem (Juan Giron)

2018-10-30 00:47:57 UTC

This translates into a significant impact in different cities, this is due once more and more people on the planet and this entails a greater consumption of food, appliances, fuels, among others. Our ecosystem has also been affected by deforestation, burning of tires, use of oil, aerosols, plastic bags, among others. This is not only the life system but also the quality of life of people, blood, skin diseases, burns, spots and viruses due to epidemics that occur as a result of the proper handling of garbage. The solution to this problem will be the use of the three R: Reduce the use of water, light, unnecessary plastics; Reuse objects and sea for the same function and another; Recycle in different cans once the elements are separated, so that they can be reused in an appropriate manner. How can we contribute to the care of the environment from our homes? Turn off the tap when you are lathering, turn off the lights when you are not in that place in the house, try not to use sprays, get water on your side and in your thermos to avoid unnecessarily buying bottles of water.

( Daniel Camacho )

Air pollution is an obvious reality in the world, although large cities have the highest levels of pollution. Poor air quality affects our health much more than we can imagine, so we must take measures to take care of ourselves and not suffer from diseases. The people must thing in the future of the world ,what is going to happen to the air in a few years? , we must to start he change now before it´s too late.

Reducing air pollution is everybody's job and that is why in this post we tell you what we can do to avoid pollution. In addition to these small individual actions that we propose, we also have the possibility of breathing a purer environment in our home or workplace if we use systems of renovation and air hygiene.how to take care of the atmosphere of pollution:


- The green areas of cities are like lungs that generate oxygen. We must take care of these spaces and contribute as much as we can to more and more enclosures with trees and plants.

- Use low energy bulbs to get the same amount of light but using energy efficiently. In addition, with this measure you will be able to save

- Try not to waste the water. Showering instead of bathing, using taps to save water or have a double flush system in the toilet are some simple and useful measures to achieve it.

- Avoid using cutlery and disposable plastic tableware or that is not biodegradable.

Atmospheric Contamination (Nicolas Sanabria)

2018-10-30 01:32:09 UTC

The pollution in the atmosphere begins with the creation of factories and the harmful gases this generates a slow but important damage in the atmosphere this can deteriorate

the ecosystems in a bad way in the same way this can be dangerous to the species in the north pole and antarctica this occurs because the heat increases and the ice melt this increases the sea level too if this continue the sea could flood coastal cities. This have a lot of contamination like the

Air pollution: This pollution reduces the air quality in some places the people cant leave without a mask because the air is not pure can damage the lungs in a dangerous way

Another problem of the atmosphere contamination is the damage to the ozone layer this is important because filters the sun ultraviolet rays that are harmful to living beings and the live without this layer could be impossible

The things that we can do to imrove the protection is reducing the use of cars and use the public transport to stop the C02 production improve the creation of electric factories we can plant trees too to replace the harmful gases to clean oxygen

Atmospheric pollution.
(sara Manuela Baez Ramirez)

Atmospheric pollution was created by human beings. destroying nature and animals little by little. Over the years the human being evolved and created products to help and advance, but its negative result was the accumulation of gases in the atmosphere that caused the appearance of large fissures in the ozone layer, which has generated other phenomena of notable negative impact, such as climate change and global warming.

The causes that explain the pollution of the atmosphere are diverse, but one of the main causes is the human being and his actions that have put in danger the place where they live.

It is true that the environment is exposed to danger along with animals, and the human race, but we can also reverse those changes, many will not be informed and others will be asked how?

Well the reason why there are fissures in the ozone layer, are those harmful gases such as:

*Deodorant spray.

* Excessive use of cars and public transport that expel gases and smoke harmful and not favorable for the ozone layer.

* Excessive industrialization.

* Deforestation, etc.

We can infer that some of these causes of damage in the atmosphere can be countered with:

* use more bicycles, and reduce the use of public transportation.

* The recycling of waste, products and materials. In this way we avoid that the demand for articles increases and that the factories, in turn, produce new units. The environmental impact will be less.

* The use of clean and non-polluting fuels.

* Reduce the use of aerosols containing CFC, etc.

These are some of the easiest and most appropriate ways to reduce air pollution.

(Samuel Bernal)

What is pollution and what produces it?

Air pollution is the presence in the atmosphere of substances in an amount that implies discomfort or risk to the health of people and other living beings. Although it can occur due to natural causes, such as volcanic eruptions, unprovoked wildfires or activity of some living beings, most of the current pollution (the most constant and harmful) is due to the activities of the human being, especially to industrial processes and the burning of fossil fuels.

Main polluting substances

The main substances that the human being emits to the air are harmful gases and solid or liquid particles:

The gases. The main ones are sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, ammonia, methane, CO2, carbon monoxide and CFCs (persistent gases in refrigerators, aerosols and air conditioning).
The particles. The most harmful are the fumes and the ashes generated in the fuels, the aerosols and mists that escape from certain chemical industries, the dust from mines or the pollen from the plants .

The acoustic and light pollution:

The presence in the atmosphere of very loud or persistent noises is called acoustic pollution.

It also alters the excessive artificial light to the atmosphere, especially at night; It is the so-called light pollution.

Atmospheric contamination is the presence in the air of small particles of the results of gaseous products that notoriously involve damage and risks in living beings especially those that inhabit the areas with the greatest presence of this.
What causes this?
most of the culprits are the large industrial factories where combustion is carried out and apart people think that the only fault is with these factories, but we likewise continue to "collaborate" to ensure that these products continue to be sold and manufactured almost daily (valga the redundancy) thanks to our daily use of these, we continue to acquire these products and as companies see that they have good profits they obviously continue to manufacture more and more.

An odious cliché:
"We must demonstrate to the factories that cause the air pollution the damage they are causing, and encourage them to change the manufacture of their products for ones that are not so harmful and instead of worsening our planet, making it a better place :)"

Then let me tell you that this cliché is not bad at all.
Just as there are construction products that do not pollute, tell me. There are not going to be other materials to do exactly the same as the gaseous polluting products that we consume every day.
The first thing is the indisposition of people to investigate more of these products, where to get them, and how to handle them, it is really so difficult to turn on a damn computer (sry for the vocabulary) and search about this? I mean that currently more than 70 % of humanity has access to the internet and are not able to invest their time in this for the common good, people are too selfish at times, but I will not talk more about how almost useless humanity has become with the necessary resources and disapprove , and I do not only talk about natural resources, because they do not even make good use of them, what we do is currently known as ENVIRONMENTAL EXPLOITATION.

I do not want to give the typical solutions of all people such as "recycle", "frequently use public transport and do an annual review of your vehicle", NO, beyond that is thinking of an evolution that can really benefit us ALL , because people only want and often wait for things to be done alone, and it is not like that, never will be, without actions there are not the results we want, if we do not want to continue seeing these damages, then let's face it one day and let's say "I'm sick of the same damn things every day, today I will make a change not only for myself, but for my future self that would not want to see the world like this in these times, and for my future generations"
* I think I should get more serious so that this seems more professional so .. *

Of course, those common recommendations that give us to check the gas in our car, reduce the consumption of products that affect the air, look for alternative energy sources and those things, give it to us for some reason, and it is to postpone the destruction of the planet caused by the above, so if you do not think you can take initiative for something big, you can help with the solutions that show us daily, remember.. great changes are given to start with small steps. (Fav for my poetic action)
I clarify that all this I did with my words and of course .. something to search the internet.
Thank you!

Atmospheric Contamination (Maria Fernanda Pachon)

2018-10-30 22:32:12 UTC

WHAT IS IT?
Atmospheric contamination is the presence in the air of harmful materials or forms of energy that involve risk , damage or anonoyance to the people and nature that can attack different materials, reduce visibility or produce unpleasant smells.

CAUSES.
1. Burning of fossil fuels:Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other factory combustibles is one the major cause of air pollution.
2. Agricultural activities:Use of insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural activities has grown quite a lot. They emit harmful chemicals into the air.
3. Exhaust from factories and industries:Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into the air thereby depleting the quality of air.
4. Mining operations:During the process of minnig dust and chemicals are released in the air causing massive air pollution.
5. Indoor air pollution:Household cleaning products, painting supplies emit toxic chemicals in the air and cause air pollution.

SOLUTIONS
1. Encourage people to use more public modes of transportation to reduce pollution.
2. Switch off fans and lights when you are going out.
3. Do not throw away items that are of no use to you. reuse them for some other purpose.
4. Use clean energy technologies like solar, wind and geothermal.
5. Use CFL lights because they consume less electricity as against their counterparts and they live longer.

What is air pollution?

the presence in the air of materials or forms of energy that involve risk, damage or serious annoyance for people and goods of any nature, as well as that can attack different materials, reduce visibility or produce unpleasant odors.

The atmospheric contamination is caused due to the daily life of the human being as;

* The use of cars

* Household cleaners

* Environmental pollution (throw garbage to rivers and streets, do not save energy and light).

The main people responsible for air pollution have their origin in human activities. However, this does not mean that there are no sources of contamination from natural processes, such as: * Volcanic eruptions, where both gases and particles (ash) are emitted, which alter the natural composition of gases present naturally in the atmosphere.* Smoke and gases from unprovoked natural fires.* Dust storms.* Pollen and plant spores, responsible for many respiratory allergies

Human beings are not aware of their actions as a person who, while brushing the teeth, does not turn off the tap or leave the light on without being used.

As time passes, the ozone layer deteriorates, due to this the climate changes, it is hotter and increases the ultraviolet rays. can help people in their health; and cleaning the environment; if not that pollution may be slower and in the future there are such serious problems.

The contamination can leave to cause serious problems in the life of the human being such as:

*Problems in pregnancy

*Cancer

*Problems at birth (illness)

The first one is the consequences related to the damage to human health. We can distinguish several groups of diseases caused by this type of contamination:

* Respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis or lung cancer. Air pollution increases a person's risk of suffering from these diseases, as well as cardiovascular diseases.

* Dermatological diseases, perhaps less known, air pollution also negatively affects the skin, favoring premature aging, dehydration or acne formation.

Another problem could be the greenhouse effect

What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is a process in which the thermal radiation emitted by the planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) and is radiated in all directions. As part of this radiation is returned to the surface and the lower atmosphere, this results in an increase in average surface temperature compared to what would be in the absence of GHG

(stephanie salinas)

The causes of atmospheric contamination are the polluting gases in the atmosphere.

-Carbon dioxide: The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing steadily due to the use of fossil fuels as an energy source, and it is theoretically possible to demonstrate that this fact is the cause of an increase in the temperature of the Earth.

-Nitrogen monoxide: is a colorless and slightly soluble in water gas produced by the burning of fossil fuels in transportation and industry. It oxidizes very quickly becoming nitrogen dioxide, NO2, and later in nitric acid, HNO3, thus producing acid rain or greenhouse effect.

-Sulfur dioxide: H2SO4 a component of the so-called acid rain that is harmful to plants, causing spots where acid droplets have contacted the leaves.

-Methane: CH4, is a gas that is formed when organic matter decomposes under conditions in which there is a shortage of oxygen; this is what happens in the swamps, in the marshes and in the rice fields of the humid tropical countries. Methane is a greenhouse gas on planet Earth as it increases the capacity of heat retention by the atmosphere.

-Ozone: O3 is a natural constituent of the atmosphere and is considered a pollutant when it is found in the lower layers of the atmosphere (troposphere).Its concentration at sea level can range around 0.01 mg kg-1.

possible solutions to atmospheric pollution

1. Reduce the use of combustible fuels.

2. Adopt the use of renewable energies.

3. Promote recycling.

4. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions in factories.

AS WE CAN SEE THERE ARE MANY THINGS WE CAN DO TO REDUCE PLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE.
IF WE ALL SUPPORT THESE INITIATITIVES,WE WOULD HAVE THE SOLUTION TO ATMOSPHERIC CONTAMINATION .

What is it ?

It is the presence in the atmosphere of polluting elements that can produce alterations in their functioning causing negative effects in the natural environment.

The causes of atmospheric contamination is consequence of some human activities but can also have a natural origin.
Natural causes include :volcanic eruptions,forest fires etc. Human causes include :thermal power plants, industries , motor vehicles and fossil fuels.
Effects :
Thanks to this, Humans affect in Short-term : irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, respiratory infections, asthma attacks, changes in the pumping of the heart.

Long-term : lung development in very slow children, chronic respiratory diseases, heart disease, lung cancer.

It affects the plants and the soils in which they grow,
the deterioration of the ozone layer, or climate change.

solutions:
1 Begin to use with greater emphasis the means of public transport or electric cars; trying to reduce the contamination of the air and the atmosphere from this type of gases.
2 Specialized filters that reduce the emission of carbon dioxide gas and thus the atmosphere can have a greater degree of protection against the activities of man.
3 It is important that you use the recycling sheets as much as you can before you waste it

(Kevin Gil Arevalo)

Air pollution is the presence of particular micro in the air which affect the air, causing visibility to be reduced and bad odors. this was visibly increased in the French revolution as the increase in factories caused the increase of harmful smoke in the atmosphere, but there are 2 types of pollutants. The first are those that directly take the armosphere which deña the vegetation and the respiratory system (lungs)

the second are the organics that act together with the primary tape makers.

The main causes are the "humans" but also the deforestation and the destruction of fauna and flora.
but there is also a way to help reduce pollution like fossil fuels, the use of renewable energies; the decrease of the carbon dioxide emulsion and recycle

What is atmospheric contamination?

Air pollution means the presence in the air of materials or forms of energy that involve risk, damage or serious inconvenience to people and goods of any nature, as well as that can attack different materials, reduce visibility or produce unpleasant odors.
Since the Industrial Revolution that began in the second half of the 18th century, production processes in factories, the development of transport and the use of fuels have increased the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and other gases that are very harmful to health, such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.
Atmospheric pollution can have a local character, when the effects linked to the focus are suffered in the vicinity of the same, or global, when the characteristics of the pollutant, the balance of the planet and remote areas to those containing the emitting sources are affected.

Causes:
•Burning of fossil fuels
•Agricultural activities
•Exhaust from factories and industries
•Mining operations
•Indoor air pollution

Effects:
•Respiratory and hearth problems
•Global warming
•Acid Rain
•Eutrophication
•Depletion of ozone layer
•Effects on wildlife

Solutions:
Some solutions to the atmospheric contamination is to conserve energy, use public mode of transportation, reduce, reuse and recycle and use energy efficient devices

Atmospheric Contamination Solutions ( Arturo Zárate )

2018-10-31 00:05:05 UTC

First of all we have to know how is produced the air pollution. It is produced when harmful gases and biological molecules are introduced into the Earth's atmosphere it can be produced by natural processes or human activities giving a result of a bad quality of air. There are many causes of atmospheric contaminants, here are one of the most commons and how we can give a solution:

Agricultural Activities.

This is a very dangerous cause by the production of ammonia which is one of the most hazardous gases that can be produced, also the uses of pesticides, insecticides and fertilizers which are dangerous for the Earth's surface.

2. Factories and industries
They are dangerous because they release large amount of CO₂ , hydrocarbons, and chemical compounds into the air, is really difficult to find a solution to this because the city is plenty of factories.

3. Mining operations

The extraction of minerals from the soil take out some gases, dust and chemicals that can cause massive air pollution.

4. Indoor pollution
Cleaning products of your house, paintings supplies, etc emit toxic chemicals that produce air pollution.

5. Fossil fuels.
This is one of the principal causes of atmospheric contamination because the combustion of fossil fuels produce sulfur dioxide and also can produce carbon monoxide caused by improper combustion mostly produced by vehicles.

Solutions:

-Use public transport to reduce the fossil fuels.

-Try to stop illegal mining by warning authorities about it.

-Don´t use, or reduce the use of sprays and households products.

-Reduce the buying of things that cannot be recycled.

Atmospheric Contamination (Sofia Jaimes)

2018-10-31 00:06:30 UTC

In simple terms, we can say that the air pollution is the contamination of the air, be it a physical, chemical or even a biological alteration in the air; produced by harmful gases, dust and smoke that enter to the atmosphere with lots of consequences.
CAUSES
Burning of fosil fuels: For example, the pollution emmited by some vehicles like cars (Because of its factory combustible)
Agriculture activities: Some agriculture activities like for example, the use of fertilizers or insecticides produce Ammonia, a dangerous gas.
Mining: During the process to extract minerals that are below the earth, chemicals are released producing air pollution.
Indoor air pollution: On our daily lives we contaminate too; for example when we use painting supplies.
Exhaust from factories and industries: This one, in my opinion is the worst cause of air pollution. Carbon monoxide, Hydrocarbons, chemical and organic compounds are emmited by industries and factories and we all know that there are plenty of places like this in the planet.
SOLUTIONS
-Increase the use of transports like a car, get used to move in bike or public transport.
-Conserve energy. Turn off the lights or disconnect electronic cables when you´re not using them or use efficent devices.
-Reduce, reuse, recycle.
-Use natural resources to get energy, for example you can use a solar panel.

First we have to know that the atmospheric contamination is the air pollution consisting of a harmful material in the atmosphere causing health risks for the planet and for us.

This is cause by different types of pollutants:

First are the PRIMARY POLLUTANTS which are released directly to the atmosphere like the sulfur dioxide and the PM10. Then is other called SECONDARY POLLUTANTS which belong to substances that are created from chemical processes which act together with the primary pollutants. Finally Many particles are part of the pollutants in the atmosphere with a more complex description, since they can come from different origins; From the beginning of mechanical disintegration, to gaseous particles; Mists and also in aerosols. Although it can be taken as a game the atmospheric contamination have serious consequences like fires in the forest, deforestation, pollution in the water, global warming and something that we don’t think is how it affect us.

In fact, urban air pollution increases the risk of suffering from acute respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, and chronic diseases, such as lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases.But how can we improve the situation to eliminate the atmospheric contamination?

Decrease carbon dioxide emissions is a good idea for the environment and to reduce the concequences, recycle, and Use renewable energy help too, first he recycling process make us conscious about the problem we are having but also decrease the consequences that the atmospheric contamination cause. Also the uses of renewable energy

in addition to having less noise in their operation they accompany their use with a minimum of contamination, being the only thing that the atmosphere needs to give an advance toward improvement. In my opinion I think that if the dont pay attention to this we will pay the consequences and it will be our fault because the only thing that can destroy the planet are us

MARIANA TRUJILLO

atmospheric pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world, which almost nobody pays attention. Atmospheric pollution is that there are materials in the air, which reach the atmosphere,causing it to begin to degrade generating the sun's rays penetrate more strongly in the earth, affecting the soil where it is grown, also causing acid rain, affecting both plants, soils, and even humans. On the other hand they affect our health causing diseases such as: Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Asthma, Yellow fever, etc.
These are chemical substances that affect soil cultivation, but many times we do things that affect the environment generating atmospheric pollution things like:

use aerosols
let our cars take out a harmful smoke

smoke from factories

but to help reduce the impact of pollution on the atmosphere we can do some actions which can be recycled because we take advantage of resources and avoid being burned, use public transport, ride bicycles to work or schools, avoid using deodorants in spray or paintings in lacquer and finally avoid frying so many foods.
these changes in our life we can help that there is less atmospheric pollution, making this planet a more pleasant world with less pollution and which can be preserved more.

juanpalacino09 — 2018-10-31 01:02:59 UTC

WHAT IS IT?

The atmospheric contamination is known as the presence of pollution in the air that it is dangerous for the people because the contamination can reduce the visibility and have unpleasant smells.
Since the industrial revolution the pollution in the air is stronger because the gases from the factories affect the environment.

CAUSES OF THE AIR POLLUTION

The main causes of air pollution are related to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). The combustion of these raw materials occurs mainly in the processes or in the operation of the industrial and road transport sectors. Within the industrial sector it would be necessary to differentiate between factories (for example, cement or steel) and electricity production plants (which produce half of the electricity consumed in our country).

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POLLUTANTS:

PRIMARY:

They are the pollutants that are emitted directly to the atmosphere that affect the vegetation and the body from humans, the lungs is more exactly. Example: Sulfur Dioxide (SO₂)

SECONDARY:

Secondary pollutants are those that are formed by atmospheric chemical processes that act on primary pollutants or on non-polluting species in the atmosphere. Example: Nitrogen Dioxide (NO₂)

SOLUTIONS

1. Reduce the use of fossil fuels.
2. Adopt the use of renewable energies.

3. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions in factories.

4. Promote recycling.

5. Use a bike reducing the use of the cars that emit gases.

Atmospheric contamination(luis carlos estupiñan 801) What is atmospheric contamination ?As it name sais it is the contamination of the atmosphere or the layers of the earth it is principally relationed with gas contaminants and also with Atmospheric pollutants that are substances that accumulate in the air to a degree that is harmful to living organisms or to materials exposed to the air. This causes serious problems in people in vision and respiratiry system Example of Causes The Ozone layer is considered crucial for the existence of the ecosystems on the planet .Global warming, a direct result of the increased imbalance of gases in the atmosphere has come to be known as the biggest threat and challenge for the humanity ond also for the planet The principal causes of global warming are- Burning fossil fuelsWhen we burn fossil fuels like coal, and gas to create electricity or gasoline to our cars, we release CO2 pollution into the atmosphere - DeforestationPlants take an important part in regulating the climate because they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen back into it. Forests for example act as carbon sinks and are a valuable means of keeping global warming to 1.5°C.- FarmingAnimals, livestock like sheep and cattle, produce methane, a greenhouse gas. When livestock reach at a large scale the amount of methane produced is a big contributor to global warming. Pollutants in air - Exhaust from factories and industries: Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into the air thos gases dam the atmosphere and difficult the life There are 2 types of pollutantsprimary pollutants : caused by primary and secundary resources . An example of a primary pollutant is the the sulfur-dioxide emitted from factoriesSecundary pollutants: caused by reactions of primary pollutants . For example the smog that is caused by a reaction in a primary resourcesAlso The greenhouse effect affects the planet .it is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmospherePossible solution- i think it have to start in each one of us bit it is necesary to make a law that regulates the gases pruduced in the factories- other solution is to use more the renewable sources to make energy like wind and so others forward reduce the use of fossil fuel for example

WHAT IS AIR POLLUTION ?

The substances that flood the layer of the atmosphere are increasing from the polluting sources. In the breathable air; The contamination has an intervention from different substances that modify the natural layer and all the components that are in it.

There are many causes that generate these results in the atmospheric layer; giving rise to the fact that the air is not totally pure, as is required for the life of all living beings.

THE CAUSES OF POLLUTION:

Fossil fuels : One of the greatest sources of air pollution are fossil fuels; stories like the energy emanating from automobiles for their fuel; Which will emit carbon dioxide that goes up to the atmospheric layer.

Industrial fireplaces : There are two types of pollution that exist when talking about an industrial source. The first pollutant type is that caused by the emission of smoke from furnaces and industrial machines. However, this polluting class has been markedly reduced given the replacement of coal and oil by electric power.

Chemical industry : The products of the different industries are assuming their work with a good amount of chemical processes; which add more polluting elements around the toxicity of the environment that vary in the range of danger.

SOLUTIONS:

Take care of green áreas : More than prevention, there is action; which means that before you can repent, it's better to take care of what you already have; having an objective of preserving what is the forest mass.

The natural areas have always been the lungs of the entire planet and as such it requires the conservation of human activities; who certify that he is capable of taking care of what he has around him.

Reduces air pollution : The policies that have been directed to reduce air pollution remain an id
eal proposition to advance reforestation; avoiding the presence of obstacles that may prevent meeting the objective.

Reduce the consequences of the greenhouse : Trying to combat climate change is possible and can reduce the sources of CO2 that come from industries to atmospheres. The actions must be direct, coming to be controlled from the transports; Up to the power plants.

Each of these steps are elementary elements to contribute to the health of the planet and with the expansion of information; The extension of collaborative behaviors will become more and more reliable.

Atmospheric contamination (Alejandra castro)

2018-10-31 03:36:34 UTC

Atmospheric contamination is the presence of material or energetic forms in the air which cause them to increase the damage and discomforts n nature affecting plants , animals and humans
Atmospheric contamimation bagan in the industrial revolution in which the production of different factories and rhe use of the fuel began.

How the atmospheric contamination is causes?
This type of contamination can be causes by primary causes that are the pollutants emitted directly by the atmosphere, for example, sulfur dioxide which is not only irritating on the vegetation and also affects the function of the lungs, the can also be secondary pollutants, which are substances that arise from chemical processes that are related to primary pollutants, these substances are formed by sulfuric acid oxide.
These pollutants accumulate progressively on the surface of the earth due to high precipitation and dry deposits affecting living things.
What are the consequences of atmospheric contamination?
The atmospheric contamination is one of the causes the global warming and climate changes some of the direct consequences that it causes are forest fire, pollution of the water and the destruction of the flora and fauna, damaging the integrity of the vegetation
Solutions for atmospheric contamination
Some ways to solve air pollution are:
*Reduce the use of fossil fuels by using more the public transport, the electric cars , the bicycle or walk
* Use renewable energy
* Reduce carbon dioxide emissions using clean energy such as wind energy that is Lee polluting
* Recycle garbage properly and not waste paper objects
* plant plants as it help the air of the environment you can make a garden at home which will look cute and help the planet

*thanks*

Atmospheric Contamination (Danna Daniel)

2018-10-31 03:55:07 UTC

What is contamination?

They are large concentrations of ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur, among other harmful particles.

What are the causes?

The cars. Although there are already ecological cars, there is still a lot of pollution due to these.
On the other hand, the processes to convert fossil fuels into energy that are carried out in the thermal and light power plants and other transformation procedures used in the industry, also contribute to the contamination of the environment.
Factories, air conditioning and refrigeration appliances, among other tools such as aereosoles, generate greenhouse gases, destroying the ozone layer.
Water scarcity, in summer season, does not help to solve this problem, because water purifies and cleans the environment.
How it affects us?

Health is one of the most important aspects. Many times pollution helps to develop or worsen diseases. the most frequent are:

-Allergies.
-Heart diseases.
-Respiratory diseases such as asthma.
-Or even some type of cancer.

How to prevent?

The solutions to this problem are very simple and easy, as for example:

-Walk
-Riding a bicycle
-Use low consume bulbs
-Avoid using disposable plastic or that is not biodegradable.
-Plant trees
-Do not waste water
-No Smoking
-Among other

Atmospheric contamination isn't an unknown problem for all of us, we all know that our society it´s been contaminating and hurting our environment for a long time ago now,
and this is huge problem that will give us consequences in future even more serious than they are now like the global warming, things can always get worse if we don't do anything to save our environment , but first, we have to know a little bit of what is causing this problem.
There are plenty of causes for this problem like the street lights, the cellphones, computers, oils, among others things, so, if we want a change we gotta do something ASAP.
Our air contamination at this moment is so dangerous, so here there are some of the potencial solutions for this problem.
First, reducing the cutting of trees, this are the ones who in fact give us pure oxygen, and if we let people to keep cutting them out, we have no opportunities at all.
Second, reduce the consume of energy when the street lights are ON in the day and also reduce the unnecessary use of energy in our own houses, trying to use, only the one we need.
Third, stop using that much of aerosol products, this ones increase the global warming affecting us a lot.
Fourth, stop the amount of toxic waste, like the cars gasoline, the oil, among others.
And fifth, use more non-contaminating resources, like bikes or solar panels.

Atmospheric Contamination (Juliana Garcia )

The atmospheric contamination is a accumulation of substances that acumulate in the air, air pollution occurs when gases, particulates, biological molecules ,smoke , smog introduced into Earth´s atmosphere. Also another of the most relevant consequences of the atmospheric contamination is the increase in desertification, thanks to these high temperatures and the lack of rain. Without forgetting that it also originates and may originate to a greater extent than those cited meteorological changes significantly affect the agricultural sector, and their crops. This supposes not only a blow for the mentioned area but also a damage for all, in general . Atmospheric pollution is a cause of global warming, the Earth's temperature is increased in recent years and if we do not change the behavior that humans have towards the environment will continue to increase which will generate the melting of the poles that origin the increase in the seas and the flood of coastal cities

valeherreraprieto — 2018-10-31 22:55:00 UTC

What are the causes of the air pollution?

well,most of the causes are because of the burning of fossil fuels (carbon,oil and gas).The burning of this raw materials are produced in the process or in the function of the industrial sectors and transports.Inside the industrials might be a difference between the fabrics and the production of electricity.Another reason are the human products such as the spray/aereosol
which contain chloroflurocarbons that provoce any hole in the atmospher.Also the cows gases are one cause,because of the differents chemicals on foods that are given to these animals when they expel gases contaminate the atmosphere.

What are the solutions or at least what can prevent it as much time possible?

Reduce the use of fossil fuels :The fossil fuels are one of the biggest responsables of the air pollution from today,the issue of gases of every transportation that use naphtha,gasoline and others derivatives of the petroleum contamine the air of our lovely earth.
Adopt the use of renewable energies:An example of these are the cars electric mmodels of Tesla,this make less noise and don't contamine.
Reduce the emitions of carbon dioxide in fabrics:To reduce the use of carbon dioxide in fabrics on all the world,It must be promoted use of clean energys,like the eolic or electric .
Promote the recycling:This is the most available key for this question,the only problem is that this needs the colaboration of people.

What is the atmosphere
the atmosphere is the amount of layers in our planet , those layers are troposphere , estratosphere , mesosphere , termosphere and exosphere.

Now what is the atmospheric contaminaton ?
is the amount of gases that are in the environment . those gases could be caused by humans actions or by natural sources .

Contamination by natural sources:
the contamination is product of many thins and between those thins there are natural sources like:
forest fires and volcanic emissions

Contamination by human actions:
as i say before there are may things that produce the atmospheric conamination and the other important caustive of this is about the human , because the human create many things that can be consider producers of contamination .
in the sixteen and seventeen century the human industries worked based on carbon with the vapor machine and then the human damage the environment with the cars pollution

Cosequences of the atmospheric contamination:
the contamination have to much consequences both in animal as in humans and almost in the environment.

Cosequences in the environment:
* less crops and plantations
* ozone layer deterioration
* dry rivers
* glaciation

Consequences in animals:
* the animals will die of thirst
* the animals don`t have preventive meassueres
* the animals of the poles will die because de glaciation
* and so on , so some animals species will desapear

Consecuences in humans:
* respiratory problems
* eye irritation
* lung cancer
* because the ozone deterioration it`s more probably a skin cancer
* a quickly dead

solutions for atmospheric contamination:
* reduce the use of air conditioner and heating
* increase the use of public transport , bicycle and if is possible walk
* reduce to the minimum the fossil fuels
* and at the end believe that this problems are real
and collaborate with the change :) :v

But what is atmospheric contamination?
It is the presence in the atmosphere of polluting elements that can produce alterations in their functioning causing negative effects in the natural environment.

Atmospheric pollutants and causes of atmospheric contamination:
Air pollutants are those materials or forms of energy that are not naturally present in the atmosphere or that are present, but in different concentrations.

For example, carbon dioxide is naturally present in the atmosphere, playing a key role as a greenhouse gas. However, if its concentration increases, its greenhouse effect also increases.

We can classify this in three types :
Gases: are carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), among others.
- Particles: come from fumes or ashes from combustion, from aerosols, dust from mines or certain industries, etc.
- Energy: what we know as noise pollution, light pollution or electromagnetic pollution are within this classification.

How can we solve this?
- Recycling is a way to reduce pollution because we take advantage of resources and avoid some manufacturing processes that generate harmful gases.
- Using public transport contributes to a single vehicle carrying many people, so we pollute less than if each one goes in his own car.
- Sharing transportation is also a good way to reduce pollution.
- If we think about changing the car, it is best to choose one of low consumption or electric. In case we prefer a traditional one, we must bear in mind that diesel is the most polluting.
- All vehicles need revisions, at least once a year. In this way we can verify that ours does not contaminate more than what is allowed and we will repair it immediately if we detect any irregularity.
- Walking or cycling are the two least polluting ways to get around.

Thanks.

Air pollution means the presence in the air of materials or forms of energy that involve risk, damage or serious inconvenience to people and goods of any nature, as well as that can attack different materials, reduce visibility or produce odors unpleasant

what are the characteristics about contamination?
The Environmental Protection Agency estimates air pollution and particulate matter cause 60,000 deaths each year. There are natural factors that contribute to air pollution, but modernization and the transportation industry drastically increase the levels of toxic fumes.

Plant Life

Sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other air pollutants can enter the pores of developing plants and break down the waxy coating that protects them from disease and excess water loss.

Carbon Monoxide

The internal combustion engines of cars and other vehicles produce carbon monoxide, which is a highly poisonous gas. According to the American Heart Association, breathing this form of air pollution over a long period of time can cause serious respiratory problems.

what is air polution?

The air pollution is the toxic chemicals or compuons in the air incluiding those which are biogical origin, in which they may affect the health. In general, the contamination of the air is drunk in the presence of chemical substances or compounds in the air which affects the decrease in the quality of this or it can also affect the quality of life.

What are the causes of the air pollution?

The most causnt are the humans because of the mining, construction, tranportation, industrial work, agriculture, smelting, etc.
However, natural processes such as volcanic eruptions and wildfires may also pollute the air, but their occurrence is rare and they usually have a local effect, unlike human activities that are ubiquitous causes of air pollution and contribute to the global pollution of the air every single day.

Solutions

Use of Renewable or Green Energy Sources

Fossil fuel and coal are the main contributors to air pollution. Alternative energy sources include wind energy, geothermal energy, solar energy, and hydro-power. If people can harness a variety of these energy sources instead of relying on fossil fuels or coal energy, air pollution can reduce more than threefold.

Conserve energy. Remember to turn off lights, computers, and electric appliances when not in use.

what is the importance of atmosphere?

The atmosphere is an important part of what makes Earth livable. It blocks some of the Sun's dangerous rays from reaching Earth. It traps heat, making Earth a comfortable temperature. And the oxygen within our atmosphere is essential for life.

Over the past century, greenhouse gases and other air pollutants released into the atmosphere have been causing big changes like global warming, ozone holes, and acid rain.

Air pollution

occurs when harmful or excessive quantities of substances including gases, particulates, and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere. It may cause diseases, allergies and even death to humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment. Both human activity and natural processes can generate air pollution

3 things you can do to help the atmosphere

1. Pay attention to how you use water. The little things can make a big difference. Every time you turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth, you're doing something good. Got a leaky toilet? You might be wasting 200 gallons (757 liters) of water a day [source: EPA]. Try drinking tap water instead of bottled water, so you aren't wasting all that packaging as well. Wash your clothes in cold water when you can.

2. Walk or ride your bike to work, school and anywhere you can. You can reduce greenhouse gases while burning some calories and improving your health. If you can't walk or bike, use mass transit or carpool. Every car not on the road makes a difference.
3. Recycle.You can help reduce pollution just by putting that soda can in a different bin. If you're trying to choose between two products, pick the one with the least packaging. If an office building of 7,000 workers recycled all of its office paper waste for a year,
