Weather Diary: Air Pollution Rodney Stithem Mid-American Christian University NATS 2503 (Introduction to Meteorology) Professor John Ensworth October 18th, 2024 \Weather Diary: Air Pollution I would like to approach this question, from all the possible learning I obtained from the course, firstly, as a citizen with knowledge pertaining climate change and control, I believe that environmental regulations are crucial for protecting public health and ensuring a sustainable future, in a way they control and manipulate pollution flow; although these regulations may have some short-term economic costs, the long-term benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I'd in the region I live, I have experienced air pollution due to wildfires, which seems to be significant health concern lately, since it causes variety of respiratory illnesses, including asthma, bronchitis, or even lung cancer which can be seen in pet animals too; one personal observation the pollute air after a wildfire tends to have lasting negative impact on the environment, like altering the local climate with smog. In addition, air pollution can worsen existing heart conditions and contribute to premature death, so although the region experiences lesser human activity pollution, strict environmental regulations are needed to mitigate natural disasters, by doing so we can significantly reduce air pollution and improve public health by doing so. However, on the darker side, certain regulations could hamper socioeconomic activities and job opportunities, so it is important to consider the broader socioeconomic implications of air pollution. Wherein poorer air quality could lead to increased healthcare costs, reduced productivity, and a decline in property values, which in turn tends to demand increased investments towards cleaner energy technologies and sustainable practices that will create a new job market and other socioeconomic opportunities while also addressing environmental concerns.More Articles From Science
