Acid Rain and Commercial Fishing
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing an article on the
effects of acid rain with one on the environmental costs of commercial fishing. Neither of these
articles is written from the "tree hugger" perspective, but rather from a realization that active
pollution abatement is not always enough. The articles discuss long-term changes in soil fertility
that are now threatening New England deciduous forests and the failure of fish populations to
recover despite being given "rest" times. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Air Pollution In Mexico City
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Considered to be one of the world's most polluted cities, Mexico City has long experienced the detrimental impact of its overwhelming air pollution problem. The most prominent pollutant throughout the city is automobile exhaust, which still to this day maintains high concentration levels of lead from before gasoline went lead-free. Sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide present two additional pollutants hanging in the air over Mexico City, as well, proving "very difficult to control and are still very worrisome from the point of view of the health effects…because they penetrate deeply into the lungs" (Air Pollution: Mexico City). This inability to dissipate such toxic substances is due to the city's proximity; a synergistic combination of high altitude and abundant sunlight create an "ideal environment for these dangerous compounds to accumulate and linger" (Air Pollution: Mexico City), ultimately proving extraordinarily damaging to the ozone. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Air pollution: Problems and Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
This 16 page paper addresses a variety of aspects of air pollution. Beginning with basic definitions, air pollution is clearly defined and various types of pollution are explored. Both indoor and outdoor pollution are discussed as significant problems. Causes are also addressed, including both human and natural varieties. The problems of cattle, lightening and volcanoes are noted as causes. Next, the exact effects of pollution are explained, inclusive of some documentation that poor air quality can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The idea that air pollution is worse in the undeveloped world is highlighted and it is concluded that perhaps an economic or political solution will ultimately help to clean up the air. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
