Essays on Thermal Pollution

Today, one of the global issues people face to is different types of pollution. With human development, pollution is becoming worse, and as a result, other issues appear. Among them are global warming, new diseases, deforestation and many others. But, it was not like this all the time, as at the beginning the level of pollution was not so high. Otherwise, it would have been an apocalypse already. That was the industry development that caused global pollution. Even in the late 13th century, people knew about air pollution. For instance, King of England Edward I punished every Londoner, who ...

Pollution results to over 100,000 deaths. This is according to research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Research from the institute’s laboratory conducting studies in the environment and aviation bases its findings that most emissions emanate from road transportation. It also emerges that road transportation is the single cause of pollution, and also results to premature death. In Baltimore for instance, Maryland is the city with highest deaths due to pollution, with over 100,000 deaths linked to air pollution as a result of industrial smoke. Pollution from transport sources is high. This is because most drivers ...

Factories have always been seen as emitters of enormous smokes, which makes factories as major contributors of air pollution. But, aside from the air pollution, factories have been contributing to land pollution, as well as water pollution. These pollutions were mainly because of the emissions of harmful gases, mixing of toxic and hazardous chemicals on natural water resources, direct contact of harmful chemicals and wastes to surface soils (Peterson, para. 1). Moreover, although different factories produce different waste products, still, the environment is always at risk. One of the most familiar effects of factories is how it contributes ...
