Air pollution refers to the emission of harmful substances in form of particles into the atmosphere. There are many types of pollutants categorized as primary and secondary pollutants. The primary pollutants are the type of pollutants that directly pollute the air through their emission and the secondary pollutants are the ones that are formed from the interaction and reaction of the primary pollutants. Air pollution leads to the formation of the ozone layer hence, the causes of pollution of air include; sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and dust, just a few to mention. These pollutants have adverse effects on the environment and the health of all animals. The environment is tampered with and the people who suffer most from the existence of the air pollutants are human beings. In this case, it leads to cancer and other illnesses that are risky to human life. To remedy air pollution, it takes the initiative of both individual people and the government in place through legal regulations. However, the main participant in the control of air pollution is the government.
Air pollution is an issue that needs to be addressed with keen concentration. According to EDIS (par 1), air pollution is caused by human beings and trees. Hence, EDIS advocates for the use of trees to reduce pollution. The trees have the ability to make use of polluted air and emit pure air (Berkeley, par 3).ELSL supports the idea of the use of trees as an example of an application of science in an attempt to solve the air pollution issue. They say that, the trees can be used to reduce air pollution through the use of the leaves. The leaves have the stomata that take in carbon (IV) oxide and emit oxygen. In this case, through the use of the leaves’ stomata, the trees are able to use the air polluted in their growth and in turn produce clean air that is required for human breathing.OAR on the other hand, purports that, the use of trees is definitely a precise and the best way of dealing with air pollution since it is natural. In this case, the issue needs to be addressed amicably considering the aspects that could help in the reduction of air pollution. Since the effects of air pollution are adverse to the human existence and all animals in whole, the need of curbing air pollution would lead to the reduction of health problems (EPA, par 2).
Infoplease (par 1), asserts that, the use of trees would represent a good solution to curbing the emission of polluted air. It is evident that, causes and the effects of air pollution could be reduced through the use of a natural means, which include the use of trees. Critically looking at a hazard situation arising from a typhoon, the Philippines face a number of unanticipated events that render most of them homeless and many of the individuals end up as casualties as a good number die from the incident. In an occurrence of such a tragedy, the following usually occur; some people are caught at the sea unawares and cry for help, the inhabitants run to their rescue, a number of people drown due to lack of early rescue, those saved from the calamity suffer severe injuries, the inhabitants affected with the same have their homes blown away, their property are destroyed thus left with no homes and the same time no way of making a living (Delfin 78).
In terms of detailed events and expected emergency action responses, necessary measures should be taken into account. In the event of the above scenario, there are a number of emergency actions taken.
First and foremost, the emergency agencies are expected to be there as soon as the incident happens in order to rescue the situation. The emergency agencies are often made aware of the kind of calamities prone to occur at specific places and take the responsibility of ensuring they are well prepared to face the situation in case it occurs (Earle 24). The measures taken by the emergency agencies build trust between them and the community. Thus, the emergency agencies keep in store food and materials that they distribute to the people in the occurrence of a natural hazard. For the people who drown in the water, they are rescued by both the inhabitants and the emergency agencies. The casualties are offered immediate medication by being given first aid then transported to Manila where they receive proper treatment. Those who have been rendered homeless by the occurrence of the unanticipated storm are given temporary homes to shelter which include camps, thereafter, the inhabitants are made aware of the occurrence of such incidents and told the measures to take to prepare them for such disasters. The measures include, living a distance away from the sea and making sure they are always ready to face such incidents by staying united and helping out each other at such times. The Filipinos are empowered through enlightening programs, which educate them on how to deal with environmental issues (Allen 23).
Looking at the above discussion, it is clear that natural hazards are inevitable especially to those locations around water catchments areas i.e. Philippine. The occurrences of such calamities are unpredictable and they come about with unanticipated aftermaths that greatly affect those involved. Food revolution is a bridge that connects several individuals in the agricultural sector. It has been researched and found out that, the food people take is full of synthetics and this has led to the widespread variety of health deficiencies. In relation to this alarming situation, it has been the concern of the agricultural sector to indulge in food revolution. This move is a way of saving the human kind from the dangerous risks that result from the consumption of organic food. The food that is mostly consumed in America is chicken. The production of chicken involves several groups of people: farmers, environmental activists, animal activists and consumers. Thus, the effects of organic food are far more dangerous than the profit anticipated from it. These groups of individuals lack the conscience that make them realize the price of organic food in terms health and not money.
A positive change in the production of food could be made possible if, the people involved take an initiative of considering the implications of organic food on human beings (Striffler, 2005). The farmers are the people who are involved in the production process at the first level of production. However, the food activists are the ones who give the farmers a go ahead in the production process; they ensure the food produced is sufficient, clean and healthy for human consumption. The environmentalist ensure the environment where the process takes place is clean and would not result to health problems for those involved in the process and the consumers too. The consumers are also part of the production process hierarchy and they come last though their role is to approve or disapprove the food presented to them. Thus, through combined efforts, the groups involved in the production of food can fight against production of organic food.
According to Oxford (2009, p 94), nuclear refers to a single cell or battery of cells in which the energy of particles emitted from the atomic nucleus is converted internally into electrical energy. The nuclear batteries are divided into two; the high-voltage and the low-voltage batteries. A radioactive substance, Hyperion Power Module is a type of nuclear battery that consists of a sealed fission reactor and it is used to supply power over a small sized community. The battery technology on the other hand, refers to the use of Nuclear energy and it appears in several forms such as; nuclear battery, atomic battery, tritium battery, and radioisotope generator. Nuclear reactors refer to the substances that are used to produce electricity without the emission of carbon (IV) oxide because it constitutes of uranium based fuel. This is works in a manner that, during the production of the nuclear power, the emission of Carbon (IV) oxide occurs in the life cycle. It is also important to note that, the existence of nuclear power displaces the large amount of carbon (IV) oxide in the air and this outweighs the fossil fuel plants. There are two types of nuclear batteries, the high High-voltage type and the Cassini spacecraft's nuclear batteries. The high- voltage nuclear battery containing the B-ray source (strontium -90 or tritium) and is made up of materials that emit the power. In this case, due to the high power, the energy that is emitted is made up of very high cells that are involved in radio activity. Basing on the terms defined above, it is evident that the use of nuclear energy is attributed to so many sources such as the nuclear batteries. Hence, the emission of the nuclear energy can only be attributed to the emission that is made possible through the use of the batteries.
Nuclear energy has been considered as a substitute to electricity energy. This is because; it provides the energy that people would have got from the use of electricity. Nuclear energy appears in several forms such nuclear battery, atomic battery, tritium battery, and radioisotope generator, and all these devices are used in the emission of energy (Palliser, 2012, p 14). These devises work in different ways just to ensure the emission of energy takes place in a proper manner without the emission of unwanted gases. This in turn, makes the world to move round because the source of energy is not necessarily based on the availability of electricity but the nuclear energy comes in handy. It is evident that, Nuclear reactors produce electricity without the emission of carbon (IV) oxide because it constitutes of uranium based fuel. This is works in manner that, during the production of the nuclear power, the emission of Carbon (IV) oxide occurs in the life cycle (Gomes et al., 2011, p 529). It is also important to note that, the existence of nuclear power displaces the large amount of carbon dioxide in the air and this outweighs the fossil fuel plants. Thus has lead to the construction of more and many nuclear reactors and comparing this to the amount spent n natural gas and coal, it is clear that the use of nuclear power reactors are money saving (Buchan et al., 2011, p 1191).
However, the nuclear energy emitted is high in its power transmission. This is because the fuel that control, the emission of the nuclear energy is uranium based and thus, forms a very critical form of substance that is potentially risky to life. There are two types of nuclear batteries, the high High-voltage type and the Cassini spacecraft's nuclear batteries. The high- voltage nuclear battery containing the B-ray source (strontium -90 or tritium) and is made up of materials that emit the power. In thus ace, due to the high power, the energy that is emitted is made up of very high cells that are involved in radio activity (Grandin et al., 2010, p 28). On the other, hand, the Cassini spacecraft's nuclear batteries are used in order to provide a nuclear type that is of low voltage cells. The division of the photoelectric occurs in form of three kinds including; gas ionization, thermopile-type, and fluorescence. All these batteries are used in the production of the nuclear energy though they function differently. With the availability of these forms of batteries, they all contain high power voltages and thus in turn, it is risky when it comes to the provision of the energy to human beings. It affects radioactive waves as it hinders the avilabity of appropriate voltage power (Gorman et al., 2006, p 542). It is also important to note that, the existence of nuclear power displaces the large amount of carbon dioxide in the air and this outweighs the fossil fuel plants. Thus has lead to the construction of more and many nuclear reactors and comparing this to the amount spent n natural gas and coal, it is clear that the use of nuclear power reactors are money saving
