Pollution due to Urbanization

Pollution due to Urbanization
Environmental Impacts - Impacts of Urbanisation

There has been a problem in the world ever since mankind has started Urbanization and That is Pollution, We will be discussing that Here

The environmental pollution caused by urbanization is mainly due to the effects, such as the increase of urban land use, of the excessive concentration of population [[29], [30], [31]]. The destruction of the environment through economic growth is mainly due to excessive consumption of energy

What is pollution due to Urbanization?
Air Pollution: The air in the urban areas is always polluted with harmful substances and it is becoming hazardous day by day to breathe. The air in the cities is choking. The smoke from automobiles, factories and power generators make the air unhealthy

What are impacts of urbanization?

Environmental Effects of Urbanization

Urban populations interact with their environment. Urban people change their environment through their consumption of food, energy, water, and land. And in turn, the polluted urban environment affects the health and quality of life of the urban population

What are Causes of Urbanization
Causes of urbanization include:
  • Industrial Growth: The explosion of industrialization and manufacturing enterprises within a certain urban area gives rise to more employment opportunities — which is another factor of urbanization.
  • Employment: Rural areas commonly are agricultural

As a Matter of Fact You Can See 
How Urbanization it affecting the 
Environment in Harmful ways
so let's see how we can overcome
the Urbanization Problems

How can urbanization problems be overcome?
Solutions
  1. Combat poverty by promoting economic development and job creation.
  2. Involve local community in local government.
  3. Reduce air pollution by upgrading energy use and alternative transport systems.
  4. Create private-public partnerships to provide services such as waste disposal and housing

Let's Help Our Environment and Society
By following these steps

This is what ocean acidification is doing to creatures in the Arctic

Image
The Arctic ocean acidification is much worse than we thought. As we emit more and more carbon dioxide, the effects are being felt not just above ground, but also underwater.  A marine snail shows damage to its shell (jagged line radiating from center) due to acidic ocean waters. Image credits: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA Ocean acidification is often regarded as the unseen twin of climate warming. It’s unseen because we humans don’t spend much of our time underwater, but for the creatures that do, it’s a catastrophe. When carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, a part of it gets absorbed by the oceans, producing carbonic acid. This acid essentially dissolves the shell of marine creatures such as mollusks, sea urchins, starfish, and corals, making it difficult or impossible for them to survive. Researchers have already identified this process, as well as the way ripples it down the entire oceanic food chain. But according to a new study, it’s even worse than w...

A record 53.6 million tons of e-waste was produced last year, says UN

Image
There's sign of decline in the near future. From flat-screen TVs to cellphones, humans generated 53.6 million metric tons of  electronic waste  last year, almost two million metric tons more than the previous year. Only 17% of the waste was recycled, with the rest ending up in landfills, incinerated or just unaccounted for. Electronic and electrical goods such as computers, refrigerators, and kettles have gradually become indispensable in modern societies, making lives easier in many ways. But they can also have toxic chemicals, and a growing production of waste is damaging the environment and human health. The figures for last year, reported by the  United Nation’s Global E-waste Monitor , are equivalent to 7.3 kilograms of electronic waste for every man, woman and child on Earth, though the use is concentrated in wealthier countries. The amount of e-waste is growing three times faster than the world’s population Citizens of northern European countries produced the most ...

What are the benefits of using CBD topicals

Image
Because topical CBD interacts with the body differently from products taken orally, effects could vary wildly. CBD (cannabidiol) products are all the rage right now, with countless companies and merchandisers offering a wide variety of options. While edibles are usually the products of choice, some prefer topical CBD products to avoid gastrointestinal problems or to reap potential pain reduction effects from local application to specific body parts, such as a sore shoulder or ankle. It is, however, extremely probable that there are significant differences in outcomes between oral and topical administration of CBD products.  What’s CBD and what is it good for? Credit: Phyto. CBD is one of the many compounds found in  Cannabaceae  plants, or, as most people call them, cannabis plants. It can be extracted from both the marijuana and hemp plants; however, most US states require that CBD oil products come from hemp and do not contain more than 0.03%  THC . CBD oil does no...
