Historical Background: For centuries, humans unknowingly contaminated sources of drinking water with raw sewage, which led to diseases such as cholera and typhoid.(A&E, 2018) Water pollution intensified with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, when factories began releasing pollutants directly into rivers and streams. In 1969, chemical waste released into Ohio’s Cuyahoga River caused it […]
Abstract Clean, safe drinking water is an essential requirement for all life, but not all people around the world have regular access to this important resource. Nearly 70% of the world is covered by water, but only 2.5% of that is available for human consumption. Rising temperatures and contamination of fresh water sources reduce this […]

Water is one of the most important natural resources for all living organisms. A normal person could stay alive without aliment for one whole week but not without water. However, in the areas where people experienced water shortage and pollution, safe drinking water was unable to be distributed to them. Water shortage or water scarcity […]
Water pollution is the major problem in our world today and, is a major hazard that causes many problems to the people and environment. Water pollution needs to be stopped because pollution is going into lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans and its been killing land and water animals for years. Pollution is the introduction of […]
Let’s talk about tap water. Many of us in the USA drink it at home or in restaurants without giving it much thought (if we’re fortunate!). But what exactly is tap water? And is it safe for us to drink? Let’s take a deep dive into where our tap water comes from, what’s in it, […]
The world population is increasing every day, bringing with it several pollution problems. Water pollution is one of the biggest examples, which generates devastating effects on human beings, such as poisoning with heavy minerals, bacterial diseases, and serious skin problems. The degree of the consequence will depend on the exposure of the person and the […]
The first part of this report summarizes the article named “Marine pollution due to waste water discharge in Kuwait” by (Jassim A, Shatti & Tamama A. Abdallah) Published on 1999. This scientific article discussed the sea pollution and contamination of beach resulted from discharging the untreated waste water into the sea. As per (Pomare, 1988), […]
Causes of water pollution vary but the effects are always the same; the pollution is harmful to the ecosystem and humans as well as being devastating. Pollution with-in the environment enters our soil, air and water & spread via natural forces; wind and water current. How quickly & the method of clean-up we use is […]
Water is polluted many different ways, just to name a few are hypoxia, wastewater pollution, and marine debris. In this paper I will touch on many different ways waters become polluted, and you can see for yourself that human involvement is the root cause of it all. There are different types of pollution in the […]
The challenge of rising water pollution in China poses a huge threat to existing water bodies that greatly benefit indigenous people, industries, and government. This water pollution was the result of effluents from large industrial areas, which drained the chemicals of rivers and other related streams. The escalating impasse of China’s water pollution requires quick […]
Water is one of the few essential elements for humans and any living organisms to survive, and although the world’s surface is 71% water, only 2.5% of it is freshwater. Since water pollution has been an issue for more than 100 years- it is much harder for us to fix this problem. Those simple things […]
Get the frack out! Fracking is proven to have harmful effects as it results in water contamination, contributes to global climate change and can even cause earthquakes. Fracking leads to the a possibly extreme water contamination. Fracking injects water, sand, and chemicals deep into the ground in order to extract natural gas and this creates […]
The findings of this study indicate that as expected the natural albedo of seawater is susceptible to positive and negative forcing by pollution and natural agents. Comparison of oil and gas pollutants showed inverse temperature change profiles, with the oil sample heating more rapidly and cooling more slowly than seawater, while the plastic sample heated […]
Fracking is a Process that Oil Companies use to get Oil and other Natural Gases that are trapped in Shale Rock. The process involves using high pressured amounts of water, sand and a cocktail of chemicals which is called slurry through holes in an underground well pipe (Miller & Spoolman , 2019 ).This is done […]
There are a few things that foresters deal with just about every day in their field. One of the biggest problems that the foresters deal with is deforestation. Deforestation causes many problems, and sometimes even those problems cause problems. Deforestation can cause many problems including loss of species, soil erosion, and effects on the water […]
Fracking is the process of injecting liquid at high pressure into the ground to force opening of existing fissures and extract oil and gas and poses some serious risks. Fracking has made the U.S production of oil and natural gas increase and it has also made more jobs for people. Fracking made the energy prices […]
Overpopulation effects all other aspects of our health and the environment in which we live. There has been more human-caused environmental disgrace in the last few thousands years than ever before, and with the population increasing five times its size in the last 300 years it is no wonder overpopulation has such a staggering impact […]
The Ocean is one of the major reasons why humans survive in this world. The Ocean provides us with water to drink and the fresh air we breathe. That’s why the issue of ocean pollution is important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in […]
Dear Governor, It has come to my attention that the state of New York has decided to reopen the debate regarding the ban of hydrofracking within the Marcellus Shale region. As a lifelong New York resident, this news is deeply concerning, and I worry that a reversal of our state’s current position on hydrofracking will […]
Introduction: Ecosystem degradation has become more prominent as the affects of anthropogenic climate change are increasingly impacting the structure and function of environments. Climate change and human disturbances have created a cascade of issues in aquatic ecosystems. Disturbances in aquatic ecosystems are widespread due to the connectivity that exists along the ever-changing waters of streams, […]
Over the last ten years, America has experienced an energy revolution. Energy consumption has never been higher and the majority of this consumption is supplied by fossil fuels such as coal and oil or natural gas.
