The rate is even worst for cities with more than 100,000 people in low- and middle-income countries where almost 98% of those areas had unhealthy air. ]]> 2017-04-19 00:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166901669 Causes of Air pollution nine54jo https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166901733 Greenhouse gases come from all sorts of everyday activities, such as using electricity, heating our homes, and driving around town. Since the Industrial Revolution began around 1750, human activities have contributed considerably to climate change through CO2 admissionand other gases to the Ozone. ]]> 2017-04-19 00:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166901733 Prevention nine54jo https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166902489

Other climate change public health concerns raised in the scientific literature include anticipated increases in ground-level ozone pollution, the potential for enhanced spread of some waterborne and pest-related diseases, and evidence for increased production or dispersion of airborne allergens. nine54jo https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166903779 2017-04-19 00:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166903779 . Carbon dioxide is the primary gas that is adding to recent climate change. Everyday human actions, such as the burning of fossil fuels and changes in land use, release large amounts of CO2, causing concentrations in the atmosphere to rise. nine54jo https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166904643 2017-04-19 00:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nine54jo/lxip6ndfs4gh/wish/166904643
