Causes Of Land Pollution

By Stanley Richmond

So what are the main causes of land pollution? The following report includes some fascinating information about land pollution--info you can use, not just the old stuff they used to tell you.

Global warming is a global problem that requires a global solution and California is proof that subnational governments can make a difference. I look forward to continue working with our partners in the U.S. Global warming is not possible to defend because there hasn't been nearly enough data collected on temperature trends on the planet. We would require thousands of year's worth of examination before we could make any kind of statistically meaningful predictions on future climate trends.

Everything living has a need for clean, breathable air, from humans and animals, to plants and trees. These needs make fighting air pollution a major priority for everyone, to help heal and protect our planet and future. Everything beyond that is about money and economics, don't environment and the atmosphere. The reason is that once you cap emissions, the right to emit becomes a valuable thing.

So far, we've uncovered some interesting facts about the causes of land pollution. You may decide that the following information is even more interesting.

Acid rain is another long-range pollutant influenced by vehicle NOx emissions. In all except worst-case situations, industrial and domestic pollutant sources, together with their impact on air quality, tend to be steady-state or improving over time. Acid air happens during modern smog when NO2 and SO2 are converted into acids; particularly nitric and sulphuric acid. These form into tiny clouds of acid droplets.

Plants and animals need clean air too. A lot of the things that make our lives more comfortable such as cars, electricity and heating, create bad gases which make the air dirty. Plant, grass and trees are also a source of pollen, which can act as triggers in some asthmatics. Pollen is in the air year-round, but the concentration is highest during the growing season, from March to the first frosts in autumn.

Humans may be directly affected as well: recent studies have suggested a connection between the use of electric lights at night and an increased risk of breast cancer. Even relatively small amounts of light reaching the eyes during sleep can throw off natural circadian rhythms, altering the body's production of the sleep hormone melatonin and potentially leading to a variety of health problems. Humans are said to have started off a primitive being commonly better known as the "Early Man". From then on, the human race has been responsible for and witness to a plethora of advances and development.

Knowing enough about water and land pollution to make solid, informed choices reduces the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about the causes of land pollution, you should have nothing to worry about. - 32387
