What Are Global Environment Issues?

Article: Global Environments

My Blog Title: What Are Global Environment Issues?

This statement seems incorrect. Yet my personal view, most physics and chemistry elements come from nature. Thus, common knowing is that glass is made from sea sand. So plastics are primarily made from crude oil, coal and natural gas. Monomer is the initial production of plastic component. After use, plastics are polymerised with additives to make new plastics.

Report of global data, only 9% of plastic wastes are recycled, the rest of 91% are disposed of in the ocean, and some parts are washed up ashore on the beach, and other parts are dumped at landfill. In ocean water, plastic wastes that are not sunk float around the sea current. Marine life is also affected when entangled with the plastic and when ingested the particulate from on-going future degradation. Modern production of plastics from oil-based material adds numerous substances in the manufacturing process to achieve durability of synthetic plastic quality, which in turn, plastics take hundreds of years to deteriorate in ocean water. In unmanaged dumpsite around the world, plastic wastes can deform layers of soil and natural streams are clogged, so irregular flooding takes place; E11 sector of Islamabad, Pakistan, was flooded in year 2021. Apart from plastic wastes, human wastes are another coastal pollutant. Sewage discharged into the beach becomes the algaes that thrive and smother the reef and polyps. The overgrowth of algae from human wastes make parrotfish harder to completely feed off the organisms. Parrotfish nibble algae from reefs and polyps, and poop out as sand. Yet the sandy coast is scorched from heat waves and algae surplus stifles the coastal ecosystem, and accordingly a combined suffocation to the reefs and polyps. Air pollutants that harm human are particulate matters. They are micro particles that people inhale into the body everyday; for instance fire smoke from wood burning of kitchen stove; soot from industrial chimney, vehicle smoke, wildfire smoky haze, volcanic ash, dusty sand storm. Mixture of these particulate matters circulate in the atmosphere, which become global airborne issues; commonly known as CO2 Carbon Dioxide emission. A certain portion of this atmospheric matters come with the form of acid rain, which consequently causes soil erosion. While the portion that remains in the atmosphere can stay in the air a thousand years. Persistent inhaling particulate matters build up plaque in the heart arteries, bringing in stroke, and ischemic problem-a lack of blood and oxygen supplied to the heart. This medical sickness seems like a theory. Yet research published in Journal of the American Heart Association states in 9 August 2023 that 8.9 million people worldwide died prematurely and had cardiovascular heart disability in year 2019. The medical research is a compilation of 30 years of data analysis from medical hospital records and satellite data of global air pollution.
