Is the earth really being polluted?

Answer 1

Well, as you are probably aware, air pollution takes many different forms and arises from a variety of sources. In terms of overall range and extents of impacts, however, it is my opinion that burning of fossil fuels (coal, gasoline, etc..) is the single largest source of air pollutants. These fuels cause smog, acid rain, soot and particulates increases, greenhouse gas emissions, and dispersal of some heavy metal contaminants.

Fossil fuels are widely used for heating, transportaion, electricity generation, manufacturing and other industries. Thus, they are used pervasively in our society and their use is difficult (but not impossible) to curtail. Also, various measures can be taken to help make fossil fuel buring both cleaner and more efficiently but this comes at some monetary cost. Until we find cleaner alternatives to the present fossil fuels buring methods, most air pollutants plaguing the world today will continue to be a problem in the future.

Answer 3

What leads you to ask this question? Do you think that, perhaps, its not? It really is. Man-made pollution is the obvious cause of such travesties as global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer... etc.

In late 70's Thu 80's I worked for a business named Oak Mitsui,they made copper foil for printed circuitry.Yes computer boards.The plant is /was on the Hoosick River,which goes to the Upper Hudson River to the ocean.The local press would only say about how they killed 100,000+ fish.But,if you looked at the river you seen everything was dead,crayfish,catice fly,every creature that drew oxygen from the water was dead.But,the press never said this.Caustic soda,takes the oxygen from the water in which everything suffocates to death.I turned them into the state and gov. on numerous times,to no avail.That one plant alone made 1 million a month in 1980,1 plant of 7 in the town.Bu,t no money for safety equipment for the employees even.9 people died working there,no press releases on this though.I coughed up blood,nose bleeds that wouldn't stop and chest pains that would double me over.I was running a Arsenic treater,no ventilation,12 hr. shifts,no respirators.I now have Toxic Bronchitis,inhalation of poisonous or toxic fumes.2006 its now emphysema now.The plant relocated to Columbia,SC. closer to the ocean to continue to pollute the environment.The ex. company Dr. tells me they wanted him to alter make files disappear.I went to the Dr. I seen 15 yrs earlier,that diagnosed me.He had no more records of me or anyone else that worked there.Do you see what big money does,although N.Y.State says I can't sue my employer for exposing me to toxins.Slimy bastards are all in bed together.The States for jobs,employee's paying taxes,government taxes.So,no justice for the peons,just screwed till your dead too.
