Avoid Air Pollution & Develop Air Quality Modeling for Balancing Environment

 

Summary: In reality, there are two problems with air pollution. The simplest is air pollution by trace gasses. Here, small amounts of dangerous gasses are released in a chemical reaction, usually combustion. We need to concentrate on the pollution that has the greatest impact on our health, indoor air pollution.

Air pollution is the single greatest environmental threat to human health. The situation will get worse in the years to come. Nobody is immune and no community is safe from air pollution. There is no doubt now about the devastating effects of air pollution on American's health. Moreover, from now on till 2031, 7,000,000 people will die from long term chronic exposure, year after year, by air pollution. People will die mostly from cardio-vascular and respiratory illnesses, 42% and 11% respectively.

People over 65 years old are the ones mostly affected. This year alone this population segment will count for 80% of premature deaths. Considering the aging trend of the population, it means that there will be an important increase in the future air pollution causes and effects on health damages. There will be an increase also for children and babies with fragile health exposed to air pollution.

Major air pollution impacts

The Midwest population, where heavy industries are located, and population of big cities like New-York, will have the biggest share of premature and serious deaths. Rural Regions are also affected because air pollution is dumped in those areas by the wind. Over this death rate increases, other deplorable consequences can be forecast. For example, it is estimated that 180,000 people suffering from air pollution shall be admitted to hospitals, this is an increase of 62% in the last 20 years and, for the same period, the increase for the people over 65 years old will reach 102%.

A truthful evidence that the situation is aggravating. Air pollution causes around 6.000,000 visits to the doctors in 2008. This number should go over 9,000,000 by the year 2031 if the quality of air remains the same during this period of time, this is without mentioning the increase in the Emergency Rooms.

Air pollution impact on economy

The economic costs are estimated to 100 billions and this amount should go up to 3,000 billions by the year 2031, according to the model used by ICAP (Illness Costs and Air Pollution). It is clear now that the climatic changes have a direct impact on the public health and that air pollution should be addressed with adequate public policies.

Health solutions for human

The only suitable way to alleviate this disastrous impact of air pollution effects on our health is through Nutritional Cleansing. Body cleansing at an internal level is a hot topic, and for good reasons. Body cleansing is more necessary now than ever because we live in a very toxic world: air pollution, herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives, synthetic drugs etc. Body cleansing is much more necessary because those toxins can have an adverse effect on our cells, internal organs and state of health. Last year alone, over 20 million pounds of antibiotics were injected into our farm animals.

Body cleansing is not only a safeguard against air pollution effects on our health but is also more than necessary because many insecticides and pesticides have become part of our food pyramid and these noxious chemicals are mixed with our fruits and vegetables. We are chronically exposed to harmful substances. Finally, body cleansing is necessary because our soils are poisoned with chemicals. Air pollution causes also the foods to be deprived of their essential nutrients-primarily minerals-to perform optimally. The nutritionally bankrupt body is an invitation to illness and disease.

Clean air conditioner filters

Most air conditioning units today have the ability of filtering out microscopic pollutants. Furthermore, a clean air conditioner filter also saves you big on electricity bills. With a water hose and brush, clean the grooves and vents of the unit. You also need to clean the outside coil with water monthly. In addition, always check if the filter is clogged.

As a tip, air conditioners that are 10 years or older are electricity consumers. It is better to replace them and you can potentially save half of what you pay for the electricity. A practical and economically positive solution may be possible without damaging the global economic system. This consists of an energy generating system that can reduce carbon dioxide emission and sequester the remainder.

Timing and the Overall Capability

This situation contrasts with other green energy producers such as solar cells. Solar cells have a serious production limit caused by a shortage of both worker skills and refined solar cell materials, and could not ramp up into the dominant energy producer in a timely fashion.

A useful addition to the solution would be a process to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, however there are no currently available commercially viable ways to do this. CALPUFF modeling is an advanced non-steady-state meteorological and air quality modeling system owned and maintained. The system has been applied to estimate the fate of atmospheric pollutants emitted by the stack of a waste disposal incinerator.

Conclusion

There are steps that can be taken, however, that have a high probability of success, and will have a positive effect of the economy. First, nuclear plant construction should be supported wherever safety can be achieved as a replacement for fossil fuel plants. Deep thermal well generator development and construction should also be supported as a replacement for fixed fossil fuel plants. Also, research for carbon dioxide sequestration should be supported as well as any other commercially viable alternate energy sources being developed now.
