There used to be a saying which was common, “The solution to pollution is dilution. Eventually it was found that dilution was really not the solution. Not only does fasciculation affect marine life, it also has a huge impact on…

Raven (2008) describes them as particulate matter, nitrogen sides, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, ozone, air toxic, and carbon oxides. Particulate matter can come from dust, soil, soot, and asbestos Nitrogen oxides come from gases that are produced by chemical interactions between…

It becomes a shallow, slow-moving, brackish (where freshwater and alt water meet) estuary (is a semi-enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea) just…

Nevertheless, continued research concludes that the damage from oil pollution is much more pervasive than previously thought. Subsequently, the biological effects of petroleum contamination can be subtle. The toxicity of the compounds contained within the oil can have short- term…

A soil pollutant is any factor which deteriorates the quality, texture and mineral content of the soil or which sisters the biological balance of the organisms in the soil. Pollution in soil has adverse effect on plant growth. The introduction…

Another example is agricultural pollution. It is also prominent in the Ohio River area. Farmers’ use of certain pesticides and fertilizers contribute largely to the pollution problem of the river. There are more farms on the banks of the Ohio…

One of these is carbon dioxide, a common part of the exhaust from cars and trucks. Greenhouse gases cause global warming by trapping heat from the Sun in the Earth’s atmosphere. The increase in greenhouses gases is the cause of…
