Essays on Oxides Of Nitrogen

According to EPA (2016), environmental management involves the development of systems aimed at reducing environmental impacts of various activities. In the Brundtland commission report (WCED), sustainable development has been described as development aimed at meeting the current needs of the present generation. However, as the current generation focuses on meeting their own needs, their activities should not compromise the capability of future generations to also meet their own needs. Available evidence suggests that the future generation would have challenges meeting their own needs if the current generation fails to adopt sustainable practices. The sustainable development incorporates the triple line: ...

Abstract

Aviation is a crucial component of any nation’s economy. It provides transportation and movement of goods and people from all over world, for business, imports, exports, and tourism.

Environmental impact of aviation arises from emission of noise from aircraft engines and gases which are released. These gases contribute greatly to global dimming and climate change. Despite the efforts of reducing emissions from automobiles and using less polluting turboprop and turbofan and more fuel-efficient engines, the continuous rapid development of aircrafts contributes largely to the total pollution involved in aviation. This has led to a heated debate about introducing high taxation of travelling by air and including aviation in a scheme of emission trading to ensure that all external costs involved in aviation are considered. This paper talks about environmental ...

Introduction

Quality of air is a determinant in the quality of life, indoor air is important as people spend on average 80-90% of their lives in door (WHO, 2007).

The problem begins when the construction of building are highly insulated to conserve energy, which caused a trap to air intoxicants inside the building (E. Willard, 2005).
