Air pollution impacts the human health and the environment in various ways - by direct and immediate threat (smog, etc.) to the slow and gradual destruction of the body's various life-support systems. In many cases, air pollution negatively affects the structural components of the ecosystem to such an extent that the regulatory processes are not able to return to their original state and thus the homeostasis mechanism fails. The atmosphere is the air shell of the Earth. Air quality involves the totality of its properties, reflecting the level of exposure to physical, chemical and biological factors on humans, plant ...

Improve Bus Tracking System

Improve Bus Tracking System The objective of this given memo is to describe the purpose of employing a tracking system in transportation to avoid sector to avoid passengers getting stranded in bus stops, get cold in ice winter-stricken station lobbies without hopes of boarding a bus in the next free minutes. The attached is the methods that prove the effectiveness of an improved bus tracking system – the global positioning system (GPS) service. The methods for testing the service are discussed as well. How an improved bus tracking system, modern technology enables passengers to track their bus and know their ...

Central Idea: Hybrid cars are beneficial.

INTRODUCTION

- When one thinks of the current “going green” and “environment friendly” trends, the hybrid car is one of the first things that spring to mind. But just how are these vehicles beneficial to humans in today’s world? - Undoubtedly, hybrid cars are proving to be beneficial in today’s world in different ways.

BODY

- First, the use of hybrid cars is good for the environment. - Use of hybrid cars reduces global carbon dioxide emissions attributed to vehicles. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which contributes to global warming. - According to Beliveau ...

Different air pollutants are emitted from various sources. Different countries, in general, have their implementing rules and regulations that manage and control the emission of these pollutants. The following table shows the air pollutants emitted at different sources in Kansas and how these pollutants are controlled and regulated.

The fineness of the air around us is referred as ‘air quality'.An area is considered having good air quality when prevailing air surrounding us is unpolluted. .Clean air is an integral requirement for all living beings on this planet. There are many parameters that develop poor air quality or pollute the air. The emissions from industries and vehicles used to play a significant role in pollution of the air. The Clean Air Act provides the air quality in the local, state as well as the nation level. In fact, news reported that United Kingdom has found itself on the ...

Introduction A hybrid car is a car used to drive the drive wheels more than one source of energy. Modern car manufacturers often resort to sharing of the internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which avoids the mode of the internal combustion engine in low loads, and also to realize the recovery of kinetic energy, increasing the fuel efficiency of the power plant. Another common type of hybrids is vehicles, in which ICE is combined with engines running on compressed air.

It should be distinguished from hybrids vehicles with electro-mechanical transmission, such as locomotives, some tractors and tanks.

Introduction

Mobility is a significant basis for quite a number of private and economic activities. Thus, it forms a critical part of our everyday life. In many countries, mobility demand is mainly met by road traffic, with modern automobiles and road networks allowing for a high level of individual mobility. However, there are issues that are a consequence of this mobility. For example, mobility results in significant environmental problems in terms of carbon dioxide emissions that are mainly attributed to the burning of gasoline. Another problem is the declining fuel reserves and the subsequent rise in oil prices which translates to rising fuel prices. For ...
