We live in not a perfect world and every
invention we have made sometimes create a new problem where we would
need another new invention to solve it. Many of our invention have hurt
the health of our planet and it has infected the health of millions of
us in the form of Pollution. Pollution has many ugly forms and some of
them listed on the chart of top 10 interesting facts about pollution
below.
Our atmosphere is holding huge chunk of carbon from the burning of oil and gasses. 22% of the carbon is contributed by the industrialization and traffic system in America. In contrast, America only houses 5% world`s population.
Human ripped a half football field of rainforest area every second. This fact makes our planet difficult to breathe and it harms all of us through the global warming, poles melting, typhoon, storm and hurricane. In US alone, we only have 6.14 million sq miles of forest left
In Cairo, Breathing air at the outside in a day is equal smoking 20 cigarettes. As consequences of various kinds of pollutions, the government should spend 2.42 billion dollar to repair all the damages every year. It has a trend to move upward instead downward.
You have 10 times bigger chances to get cancer with inhaling diesel exhaust than ingesting any air pollutants toxic. In US, 70% of people who have cancer were caused by air pollutant from diesel emissions
Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology said that Carbon Dioxide or greenhouse gases in our atmosphere are rising rapidly since year 2000. In 1990s, gas emission rate only increased 1.3% per year and in 2000`s, the rate changed to 3.3% every year
Toronto Public Health accused traffic emission on the capital city of Canada contributed to over 440 deaths every year
Human population is also the trigger of various pollutions on our planet. In the first AD, earth was only populated by 250 million people and the number is double after 1,650 years. From 1650 to 1930, the number rose 4 times higher to 2,000,000,000. From 1930 up to now, population of the earth is growing triple time to 6 billion populations and beyond. The trend is not slowing down in accordance to the trend of the world pollutions level.
Cars make pollution and the numbers of it is increasing. So far, our planet is weighted by 500+ million cars and the number is predicted doubling by the year 2030.
Air Pollution from off-the-shore cargo ships conduce to estimated 60,000 deaths annually, largely from lung and hearth cancers. 3 busiest cities that has dealt with this issues are Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai
Toxic emission from power plants lead to estimated 2,800 lung cancer victims and 38,200 heart attacks recipients.
Top 10 interesting pollution facts above is collected from the research and data of US-EPA, World Health Organization, World Bank, and Environmental Defense.
