An International View on Air Pollution and Climate Change
Explore Solutions to Air Pollution Air pollution is one of the largest problems that spans across developed countries. Each country takes a unique stance on creating solutions to this issue. The Guardian recently reported that air pollution in the United Kingdom causes over 40,000 premature deaths each year. In order to build solution to this epidemic, they noted: 'Five cities and 23 local authorities have been selected in the new plan to come up with measures to reduce illegal levels of nitrogen dioxide by December 2018.' China is taking the problem of pollution, and making a positive out of a negative.
A Map to how Renewable Energy will Replace Fossil Fuels
Renewable energy is picking up stem in 2017 with the price for solar and wind continuing to drop overall. With a majority of developed countries around the world competing to gain an edge for the next economical boom; lobbyists in our country will continue to attempt to write and pass laws that prevent the energy revolution from early adoption in the United States. Recently, The Guardian reported that wind farms are expected to cost the same in comparison to fossil fuel stations. In order to give some insight on how renewable energy will develop in our country, I wanted
The Science Behind Fungi being able to Detect Radiation in Soil and the Atmosphere
The University of Extremadura recently published research covering the connections between fungi and radiation. They uncovered that fungi can detect and measure the amount of radiation in the air and soil. The team measured the amount of radionuclides, (an atom that has excess nuclear energy, making it unstable) within mushrooms in Europe. Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory of the University of Extremadura (LARUEX) and Science Daily reported on the author's point of view: "This quantification is made using transfer coefficients that compare the radioactive content in the receptor compartment of the radioactive contamination, that is to say in the fungi, to that existing
The Connections between Poor Air Quality and Higher Rates of Cancer
The University of Illinois at Chicago recently released data and research covering the links between poor air quality and water quality with higher rates of cancer. ScienceDaily reported: "But these single factors don't paint a comprehensive picture of what a person is exposed to in their environment -- and may not be as helpful in predicting cancer risk, which is impacted by multiple factors including the air you breathe, the water you drink, the neighborhood you live in, and your exposure to myriad toxins, chemicals and pollutants." - Jyotsna Jagai, research assistant professor of environmental and occupational health in
Animas River in Colorado Continues to Pollute the Environment at an Alarming Rate
Gold King Mine is a Tipping Point On Wednesday, August 5 the Environmental Protection Agency was inspecting the Gold King Mine, a suspended mine outside of Durango. The crew should have drained the contaminated waste water before creating an opportunity for the polluted water a chance to hit a main body of water. Gold King Mine is one of tens of thousands of old mines in the state of Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey reported 3 million gallons of polluted water continues to flow into the Animas River in comparison to the EPA's estimate of 1 million gallons of polluted water. The EPA
