Technology as Scientist Come Up With New

¶ … Technology

As scientist come up with new technology for the welfare of mankind in this world they end up producing luxuries. The attitude of the people towards the environment is changing due to the fact that they need more and more luxuries and this makes them destroy the environment, and this make environment to be polluted in different forms.

In the act of mankind living luxuriously, they sometime use instruments such as air conditioners, fridges and others that do release C.F.Cs in the environment leading to deplete of the ozone layer, Paul Kennard (2006). According to researches the depletion of ozone layer during 19th century when there was no much use of such things, is compared with for 20th century, it has been found that there is 50% increase of the depletion. Deforestation uncontrollable for the purpose of building with the aim of accommodation tends to raise the content of oxygen within the atmosphere thus resulting to global warming. The testing of missile as well produces toxic radioactive gases such as Radon, So2, Xenon, Co with others.

The rise in use of plastic bags results to pollution of land and sea. Such plastic in any case get to be buried in the earth they fail to decompose ending up converting that land to be a bad land which is not suitable for act of agricultural activities, on the other hand in any case this plastic bags are thrown into the sea they kill the fish. Using loud speakers within late night parties, noise tend to come from all over the place. Noise coming from jet planes, road traffic, jet skies, construction equipment, jet skies among others forms part of the audible litter that are broadcasted routinely in the air or from jet planes, road traffic, garbage trucks, result to rise in sound pollution that have most of harmful effects such as disturbance in deafness, sleep and many others. It is evident that if this trend of modernization goes on without measures of pollution the earth is going to be changed into a place full of pollution as well as unsustainable for flora and fauna.

For example, Electronic waste which is always deported to China often results to water, land and air-based pollution. It is believed that China is the dominant recipient of the world's electronic waste, which can be approximated as one billion tons of electronic waste always, is being shipped to the country in a year. Majorly originating from Canada, Japan and United States, where 90% of U.S. e-waste is always exported to Nigeria and China, Dasgupta, Susmita; Hua Wang; Wheeler, David; (1997).

Recycling operation of E-waste tends to be toxic and normally it is being conducted with bare skin. Among the workers, 88% of them always suffer from digestive abnormalities or neurological or skin disease and most of them develop problems of breathing. Apart from skin contact with toxic materials, there is burning of plastics coatings for them to be separated from metals leading to inhalation of poisonous gases, Miao Hong (2006). There is also use of highly corrosive as well as dangerous acid baths along the river banks for gold to be extracted from the microchips. People who are living around Guiyu, e-waste village tend to be exposed to the toxic ash as well as soil that is being dumped by the rivers.

There is leaching of pool of toxic into the ground water of Guiyu polluting it in such a manner that it cannot be drank, Tania Branigan (2008). Level of lead within the river sediment doubles the safety level. Lead in the blood of children of Guiyu is 88% higher as compared to that of average child. Guiyu is said to be the second most polluted spot in the world, the first is Lake Karachay. People who visit the city say that they still feel headaches as well as strange metallic taste in the mouth because of the air pollution.

As per report by the World Health Organization (WHO), two third of cancer that is inflicting our species which is due to additional toxin to our environment, and the medicines that people are taking for curing one selves possess risks and effects that are directly or indirectly adding to the mixture that forms this deadly soup.

The Indian Central and State Government are establishing strategies for mitigation measures for improving quality of urban air and make cities greener and cleaner. During the past decade the Indian government had notified statutes which are for regulation and monitoring emission of vehicle across the country, Milind Kandlikar, Gurumurthy Ramachandran (2000). On the hand, there is gradual condemning of Nigeria to desolation and barrenness through sustained as well as unmitigated pollution of her air, sea and land, Adeniyi, A.A., J.A. Afolabi, (2002). An individual could be wondering on how the state of the health of Nigerians is going to be in the next 20 years having sustained and worsening nature of such scourge. Nigerians of well-meaning and visitors to the country tended to be raising complain over such problem as well as its unbridled onslaught on people of Nigeria, Al-Lihaibi, S.S., L. Al-Omran, (1996). Other countries' scientists have connected the degree of pollution within an environment to life expectancy and mortality rate for that area.

Even as currently there are no hard statistics available that buttress such argument, it is vivid that in any case people breathe in toxic fumes, eat food that has toxic chemicals and drink water with traces of toxic chemicals in it; they are likely to be sick, wobble on the edge of ill health or face premature death. Life expectancy for male and females averagely in Nigeria tend to be 55 years and has never indicated any swing upwardly in the current times as this applies to areas such as the United States which has their life expectancy having pushed beyond mid seventies.

Pollution of air tends to be the main problem in many of the cities. Since there are no controls on vehicular emissions, it accounts for 90% of pollutants. The report of National conservative strategy indicates that Pakistan vehicle emit twenty times as many hydrocarbons, twenty five times as much carbon monoxide as well as more than three and one half times as much in grams per kilometer of nitrous oxide as average vehicle found in United States, Matthew Barth and Kanok Boriboonsomsin (2009).

The other main Pakistans source of pollution though it has not been mention in the National Conservation Strategy Report has been realized to be noise, Clark, Charlotte, and Stephen A. Stansfeld. (2005). Pakistan experience of hyper-urbanization starting 1960s has lead to loose controls for operation of heavy equipments within areas which are densely populated and in street which is crowded with trucks, buses, motorcycle and automobiles that are always honking.

Conclusion

Issues like growing cities, trajectory growth, sharp increasing traffic, industrialization, rapid economic development as well as higher levels of energy consumption has caused a rise in pollution load within urban environment. It is true that emerging automobiles forms a critical source of urban air pollution particularly in developing world. Knowing the gravity of the problem, measures are underway for introduction of better technologies, shift to environment friendly fuels, better quality fuel.
