Air and Water pollution

One cause on air pollution at this time is pollution in the ozone layer. The ozone layer over the arctic has thinned this winter because of air pollution. The holes on the ozone layer make the ultraviolet light come in and reach Earth's surface. At this time children, adults, and old people are suffering and will continue suffering from skin cancer; which is a disease that is increasing already in the world. I also found information about this in Wikipedia. I saw something called ozone depletion. The ozone depletion describes how the stratosphere of Earth is changing each day by pollution. The process by which the ozone layer is changing is called catalytic destruction of ozone by atomic chlorine and bromine. CFC's are very dangerous they are one of the most dangerous compounds that destroy the ozone layer. CFS's can come from refrigerators, Air conditioners, insulation, foam, industrial cleaning agents etc. As you can see air pollution is not harming just Earth it is also harming a lot of people's health.

In a web page called Air pollution causes and effects I found that in American office buildings that the air inside the buildings is more polluted than the air outside. A very dangerous illness that is caused by air pollution is lung cancer. Lung cancer is caused by Radon which is a gas that is made by decay of uranium. Radon gets in the air of buildings, through pores and little holes in concrete when indoor pressure is less than the pressure of gasses in the soil. Indoor air will be healthier than outdoor air if people use an energy recovery ventilator to make a consistent supply of fresh air and then air leaks in the shell of the homes. Other causes of air pollution are that because people are burning rain forests more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. As you know trees are major sources to make oxygen. If people continues to burn forests here is going to be less oxygen and more carbon dioxide.

I got information from a web page called water pollution and society. Here says that pathogens are a cause of water pollution. They can cause skin disease and respiratory diseases. Pollution in rivers and streams in the United Kingdom has increased during the 20th century. Three forms of water pollution are petroleum, radioactive substances, and heat. A major source of water pollution is municipal water pollution. It consists of wastes of water from homes and public establishments. Agriculture is also a source of water pollution because by farming a lot of organic and inorganic pollutants get to the ground water. In a web page called water pollution guide I found that water pollution can damage the health of humans and animals. It may not immediately damage it but during time it could. I also found the ways by which water pollution is made. One way is when people throws garbage or wastes to the water. This makes the water very dirty and contaminated. Another way is global warming. When the water increases its temperature marine organisms can die. Also oil pollution which is made by boats that navigate they left behind the oil contaminating the water.

Well what I really think about air pollution is that it is an important illness for humans and for Earth. Millions of people are dying because of the harm air pollution makes to them. We need to think for a way to solve this problem because we cannot make it increase it any more. About water pollution; it’s just the same thing as air pollution the same problems it’s just so terrible. I think water is the most important source for humans to live. Can you imagine what happens if all the water in the world would be contaminated. It’s obviously that living things would not survive.

In my next post I will like to talk about water pollution in the Pacific and Atlantic ocean. With this information would like to compare their water pollution.

Pollution -Global Warning-

Before I wanted to focus on Colombia's poverty but now I had saw a lot of blogs from my friends and other poeople. I am now interested on pollution or global warming. I saw in a web page called Climate and Society. Here I read that scientists say that the earth climate is been affected by humans. The sea level is going up because pollution is destroying the ozone layer so the sun is melting the poles. Pollution also makes hurricanes more happening. Since the 1960 the ice cap is melting as I have told you before. I also saw in a page called Pollution a global threat to the enviroment, I discovered the types of pollution. One type is air pollution. Air pollution is the excess of gases in the atmosphere. Some sources of pollution may be motor vehicle exhaust heat and power generation facilities, industrial procesess, auto manufacturing, fertilizers plants, building demolition, forest fires, agriculture, volcanic eruption, extraction of metals, roadway construction, and solvent evaporation.

I also got information from the web page called Pollution a global threat to the enviroment but about water pollution. Here I read that water pollution is when water contaminates. In the terms of water you can say oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, and every single body of water in Earth. Pollution in water is made by germs, substances that need a lot of oxygen to decompose etc. I also saw some sources or methods that can produce water pollution. This can be petroleum products, heavy metals, soil pollution, air pollution etc. Pollution is not only damaging the atmosphere and our planet. If pollution inreases more with time the population of the world is going to decrease. Pollution is damaging a lot of poeple's health.

I think a lot of things that I had wrote. I am very impresed because when the planet was lets say was a baby it was so healthy but now becuase of technology, dont taking care of it we are making it die. I think well I am very frustraded becuase I think this problem would never be solved. I am very worried and what we all should do is to make a proposal. We should think that what we are doing is damaging our planet. I am worried about my health. I am a very young person I am just starting my life. Its so sad that becuase other people is damaging the planet we are also paying for this damaging we are really paying with our lifes.

Over all, this what I had wrote leads to a one and single topic. I think I would like to do air and water pollution. First I choosed to do pollution but my teacher told me to be very specific in wich topic I was going to focus. After this post I had decided that I wanted do water and air pollution. Water and air pollution is very important for me becuase this is killing our planet. And I want my sons and my great grand sons to have a non pollution life. Like to have a great world were they can develop and have a very good and healthy life.

TLP answer to question

From Mr. Fisher's class, Katie wrote a post about Friends what do they mean to you. I think friends are a very good source of happiness, solution to problems, laughing times etc. I think without friends it would be very bad for me. Just think about it almost all Fridays and Saturdays I hangout with my friends and they come to my house make a sleep over and all those stuff. If I wouldn't have friends I would not hang out nor make sleep over or even be happy. Being alone is the worst thing for me in the world. Maybe for some people they like be alone. I am not saying that you need to be with your friends every time I am just saying that you need people to feel good. You need a person that helps you to solve problems, a person that laughs with you, that listens what you tell them. That is very important for your self esteem. I think that it’s right what Katie says something that she said at the end is the ps she said Keep your friends close but your enemies even closer. I think that comment is very real because If you show enemies a bad feeling about them they will steel be the same with you but maybe if you are different with them like talking more with them laughing with them and all that maybe they will treat you better and maybe they would become your friend and even best friend.

Having friends also has bad things but the majority is good things. These bad things may be that your friend starts talking very bad about your friend you are just listening to her but you think all what she say is bad. One thing you can do is tell her please stop the person who are you talking about is also my friend so If you are going to talk bad about her don’t tell it to me tell it to another person. What I would never do in this case would be to go to your friend and tell her what this person was telling you about her. That is the worst thing you could do because then a fight would begin so this two persons would become enemies. Another bad thing of having friends well it happens just in some cases. When you have a big group of friends a fight create faster. The fight will create faster because the group is so big that sometimes you don’t talk to some of your friends in this groups s they may start gossip about you or they start talking about other people and obviously you want to know but they don’t want to tell you s you get mad at them and a fight starts.

It’s better to have a smaller group of people like of 5 or 4 persons. When you hang out all of the people talk together in the same conversation, so all of you know about what person or theme are you talking about. For me it’s better to be in a group of this amount of people because of the reasons I have all ready tell you.

Over all I would not survive without my friends. So that is why I think there are so much people in the world so every single person could have a friend.
