Components Of Air Pollution

By Lianne Derocco


One of the biggest worldwide problems people are facing today including in the United States is pollution. People are searching for different ways to reduce or stop pollution. Looking for the source and causes of pollution is of utmost importance to help people successfully combat pollution. A few of the most common sources of the pollution are shown below.

Roughly half of our energy comes from the burning of coal, and it's also one of the most common energy sources on the planet in general. The burning of coal is one of the factors and biggest contributors of air pollution in the United States. Coal emits carbon dioxide in huge amounts, as well as other gases that are toxic to humans and animals. Prolong exposure to the fumes produced with burning coal can be harmful to a person's health.

Cars, airplanes and other vehicles are also other factors that hugely contribute to the source or air pollution aside from coal. Vehicles are checked in many states if they pass emission control requirements to counter such problems. Such preventive measures have contributed greatly in helping improve the quality of air in many cities and states by reducing the amount of toxins released by the exhaust systems of vehicles.

Rural areas have less air pollution problems compared to the people living in the city. However, their main problem in these areas lies in livestock waste which also produces a great deal of pollution, especially in areas where this type of agriculture is one of the predominant industries. Sources such as hog waste lagoons and waste pits emit many harmful gases. Furthermore, leaking in swine lagoons can poison the local water sources. This is why this it should not be overlooked and needs to be well managed.

Many scientists are searching for ways to use livestock waste as a renewable source of energy, and the waste also is useful to farmers as a type of fertilizer. Still there are many problems common to both waste pits and waste lagoons, and farmers are encouraged to try using some natural products to solve these issues.

Agra Sphere and Lagoon Agra are such products that use only natural bacteria microbes and no chemicals. It has been tested and shown to be a safe product for both farmers and their livestock. The bacteria work by eating away at waste solids and liquefying waste after being tossed into a waste pit or lagoon The spheres themselves are also biodegradable and no mixing is required, so they are easy products to use. These swine waste products can prevent the build-up of sludge, as well as crusting, foaming and even reduces the odors and flies. Better fertilizers can also be made because the spheres also improve the nutrient value present in your swine waste.
