Pollutions are available in various forms and here we are going to talk about them. This is 10 interesting facts about pollution
Fact 1:Carbon

Carbon cycle

Atmosphere layer above our head is saving tons of burning carbon from the oil burning and woods. Although US is filled with 5 percent population of the world, it contributes 22 percent of Carbon, which is coming from factories, manufacturing plants, transportations and mills.

Fact 2: DeforestationNaturally, earth is a home of forest and jungles but sadly, human over exploited it. Every second, 1/2 size of football field forest is cut. It makes our planet hard to breed and increase the heat of our atmosphere. This time, only 6 million square miles square woodland left in US

Fact 4;Diesel exhaust
Diesel emission is the main cause of cancer in US.70 percent of cancer owner in US is victim of inhaling diesel exhaust or air polluted diesel pollutant. According to research, we would have 10X chance to get cancer if we get in touch with diesel every day

Fact 5: Emission rate

Emission rate

According to Carnegie department, greenhouse emission rate in the atmosphere are increasing sharply since the last decade at 3.3 percent yearly. In 1990s, the rate is mere 1.3 percent annually.

Fact 6: Air pollutant effect in CanadaBecause of air pollutant from automobiles and emission in capital city of Canada, Toronto public health noted that estimated 440 people death because of it. Most suffered cancer before they death.

Fact 7: Population and PollutionsMen are the main actors of the earth pollutions. In the end of BC, 250 million people populated the planet and the number is double 1,650 years later.

Fact 9: CargosBeside cars, Offshore Cargo supplies another pollutant to the atmosphere. 3 big cities with cargoes air pollutions are Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Thousand victim death and infected by lung cancer annually because of the pollutions

Fact 10: Power plant pollution

Power plant pollutions

Air pollution comes from power plants poisoned the atmosphere. It triggers lung cancer to estimated 2,800 people and heart attack to 38,200 people
