Hidden Threat: Elevated Pollution Levels Near Regional Airports
This article explains how a new study reveals the amount of pollution that lingers at many airports. According to the author, there are many health-related consequences due to the emissions caused by planes. Also, the author states that it will get much worse, if the government does not look into the issue. Ultra fine particles of pollution permeate the air, making it very toxic, as the particles are only 1/500th of the width of an average human hair, making them invisible to the naked human eye. In addition, many people travel through regional airports everyday, making them a potential medical disaster just waiting to erupt.
Now researchers across the nation and in other perts of the world are looking into this matter because they are starting to be more and more aware of what can possibly be in store for them if they do not take action. This relates to ecology in science class because the subject at hand is pollution, which spreads throughout the earth, and the study of ecology is basically the study of the earth. These ecological disasters have to be prevented in order to maintain balance to nature, because mankind relies on nature to live. Therefore, without nature, there is no hope for survival on earth. More and more people are joining the cause to fight against these threats to our environment, as they are finally realizing the full impact of the situation, and the problem still has a bleak hope of being exterminated.
