- 131: Mauritania
- ... production of bypasses, highways and runways need to be made. Mauritania most harsh problem is due to overgrazing and deforestation which is killing the agriculture area of the country and is causing large amounts of acid rain. Many plants are being killed by acid rain then any ever before. More jobs have to be made just to make the people feel that they are helping their country. By working they will feel that they are doing something good ...
- 132: Man-made CFCs are Jeopardizing our Future
- ... also impairs tree growth. Damage to trees is continuing at a startling rate. It is estimated that half of the trees in many European countries suffer blight from ground-level ozone as well as from acid rain. Ground-level ozone also enhances acid rain. The way to prevent these negative outcomes is to stop using CFCs and other greenhouse gases (Caldara 23). Hopefully the United States will take drastic measures to cut CFC production and other nations ...

- ... the captain to watch out for other ships and rocks - since this huge tanker ship would have to take two kilometres to come to a full stop. Moreover, mining also is an indirect cause to acid rain - one of a very important environmental problems. Acid rain unquestionably contributed to the acidification of lakes and streams, causing problems with the agricultural crops and forest growth, and has the potential to contaminate drinking water systems 10. Sulphur dioxide is responsible for ...

- 135: Toxic Waste
- ... were burned and the gas given off was harmful to the atmosphere. Unknowingly factories burned fossil fuel causing what we call the greenhouse effect. Unfortunately, factories continue to burn these fuels. Toxic waste also causes acid rain. Acid rain is caused by oxides of sulfur, carbon, and nitrogen from burning fossil fuels combine with moisture in the air. In 1981 alone, 264 million tons of waste was produced in the United States, ...
- 136: Aspirin
- ... of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is used in the treatment of rheumatic fever, headaches, neuralgia, colds, and arthritis; reduce temperature and pain. The formula for aspirin is CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. Aspirin's scientific name is actylsalicylic acid (ASA). The main ingredient in ASA is salicylic acid. This ingredient grows in small roots, leaves, flowers and fruits on plants. About 100 years ago, a German chemist, Felix Hoffmann, set out to find a drug that would ease his father's arthritis without ... the time. Hoffmann figured that the acidity of the salicylate made it hard on the stomach's lining. He began looking for a less acidic formulation. His search led him to the synthesization of acetylsalicylic acid. The compound shared the therapeutic properties of other salicylates, but caused less stomach irritation. ASA reduced fever, relieved moderate pain, and, at higher doses, alleviated rheumatic fever and arthritic conditions. Though Hoffmann was confident ...
- 137: Chesapeake Bay Pollution
- ... dischargers are permitted to use lakes, oceans and bays as dumping grounds waste, point source pollution will continue as a problem for the Bay. A second way pollution enters the Bay is through precipitation. Whenever rain or snow falls on the ground and picks up contaminants and carries them into streams and rivers that will eventually flow into the Chesapeake Bay. Polluted stormwater runoff has become an increasing problem because much ... runs off farmland saturated with animal wastes and other fertilizers. One of the largest contributors of farm runoff is the Eastern Shores chicken industry, which produces around 400,000 tons of chicken manure. When rain falls on the roadways in urban and suburban areas, it washes harmful gasoline and oil from the roads into the Bay. Although not often thought of, air pollution is the third source of pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. Nitrogen, phosphorus, acid rain and other airborne toxins are continually being dropped over Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. Sources of air pollution like cars, trucks, boats and lawn mowers produce millions of tons of pollution in the ...
- 138: El Nino
- ... it too dense to rise high enough for water vapor to condense to form clouds and raindrops. As a result, this part of the ocean stays indubitably free of clouds during normal years and the rain in the equatorial belt is mostly confined to the extreme western Pacific. However, when the easterlies weaken and retreat eastward during the early stages of an El Nino event, the upwelling slows and the ocean warms. The moist air above also warms. It would produce deep clouds which make heavy rain along the equator. The change in ocean temperatures thus causes the major rain zone over the western Pacific to shift eastward. In this way, the dialogue between wind and sea in the Pacific can become more and more intense. Normally, each area of the globe follows a ...
- 139: Endangered Species
- ... make their way into the food chain. Species of salamanders in New England are dying out because the ponds in which they breed and the moist soil in which they must live are watered by acid rain (water that combines with pollutants in the air to form acid, sulfuric acid, and other corrosive compounds. Industrial waste dumped in the Mediterranean have so depleted the oxygen supply that some species of bacteria that decompose sewage have been wiped out and the nutrient cycles ...
