Air Pollution


One of the most important issues that we are hearing nowadays is the environmental crisis. This environmental crisis refers to the global warming and all the causes and consequences of it. One of the factors is air pollution that contributes a lot in global warming. Air pollution can come from the methane of cows to the gases expelled by the industries and large factories. All these gases are trapped in the atmosphere and provoke the global warming by holding more heat from the sun rays, this is normal, until it becomes too much. What we need to do is control our emissions of CO2, methane, halocarbons, and the volatile organic compounds like dust.
Dust is also a really big problem, especially here in Hermosillo. If you take a look at our city form the highway in the afternoon or in the morning you can notice that there is a dust dome covering it. I don’t know how we could control this problem, but it causes a lot of effects on people, like allergies. We should find a way to make it better so this is no longer a problem, if we took care of it, we would also be making a change to prevent global warming, besides, I could use saving some sneezes.
