Article Summary

In the article they talked about that they are different types of air pollution some are visible and other are invisible that often cause global warming. It stated that the main pollutants of that is causing Earth warming is Carbon Dioxide. Since this type of gas is ass opiated with cars, planes, and power plants. It stated that we can help to clean the air a little by driving and flying less. I realize that instead of always driving everywhere we should take into consideration that sometimes riding a bike can be a better idea. By riding bikes instead of driving we are helping to decrease air pollution.

The pathological system for asthma starts when an individual inhales the allergens from the bad air. The article, Pathology of Asthma by Makoto Kudo, Yoshiaki Ishigatsubo, and Ichiro Aoki talks about how asthma starts in the human body. They state, "These inhaled allergens stimulate T helper type 2 (Th2) cell proliferation, subsequently Th2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-3 production and release. Many basic and clinical studies suggested that airway inflammation was a central key to the disease pathophysiology" (2010). I believe that this can relate to the air pollution topic that we covered in NSCI.

The article I read was on a review of recent literature relevant to the ongoing shale gas boom and introduces the Journal of Political Ecology's Special Section on hydraulic fracking. The scholars discuss the need for ethnographic studies of the tumultuous social and physical transformations resulting from, and produced by, and unfolding frontiers of energy production that unsettles social, economic, and ecological landscapes. The authors then examined how inter community connections are vita to recognizing the shared structural conditions produced but the oil and gas industry's expansion, through examining the roles played by oil field services industry, the sequestration of information and agnotology, diving and conquer tactics, and shared experiences of risk and embodied effects. The articles examines how social science studies of hydraulic fracking are producing new and innovative methodologies for developing participatory academic and community research projects. 

I read an article on global warming and it described how the fossil fuels we use and the amount of carbon and methane we produce in the air is trapping heat on the earth, making the temperature rise and melting ice caps. This will also make it easier for disease to spread because they thrive in warmer climates and it will also kill of other organisms that survive in colder temperatures.

This article addresses the day to day Health risk of air pollution. It focus on day to day because long term effects have soon to be less conclusive. I wanted to research this topic because, I've always been intrigued by climate change and air pollution. Even more specific I want to know how it affects our bodies and our health. One thing that stood out to me though this reading is that air pollution can cause cardiopulmonary mortality and lung cancer. These facts are scary because there is nothing an average American can do about it. You are exposed to it just by walking outside your home.

This is the article I read. I think this could be a great resource for students one day in my future classroom. This goes with chapter 17 in the book because it is about obesity. This is a study in mice but the study is being used to apply to humans, which is commenting on obesity and taste. I thought it was interesting at least! 

In this article it talks about what mutation is, different types and how it happens. A big thing that stuck out to me was if mutation was random or not. I dont think mutation is random because it happens so that animal can continue to survive, without it that species would die off. 

In the article by Daniel Brock, published by SMU.edu, the author analyzes both sides to the ethical dilemma that is hydraulic fracturing. He starts off by saying what exactly hydraulic fracturing does to extract oil from the environment. Then he begins to talk about the political, moral, and environmental debates on this issue. Throughout the article Brock does a great job at staying unbiased and states both sides of the debate. However, the information that he provides shows that, while hydraulic fracturing is currently the most successful and inexpensive way to keep up with the world's oil needs, it is not environmentally friendly. 

According to FracFocus Chemical Disclosure Registry, a historic perspective of hydraulic fracturing has a trend of a routine technology that is regularly used in the completion of gas wells, called unconventional production, or known as tight shale reservoirs. This process of unconventional production has been used on millions of producing wells and the application of hydraulic fracturing continues to improve that allow 35,000 types of wells that range from horizontal and vertical and natural gas and oil that are fractured each year. This application has a huge impact on America’s energy for the ability to extract natural gas and oil from wells that are valuable for the United States domestic energy production and without this application of hydraulic fracturing, 80 percent of unconventional production would be impossible.

It details how a simple thing like littering or toxic waste can pose harm to several different species. It could either kill them off or mutate their species making it hard for them to adapt to certain environments.

The article talked about the adverse health affects that pollution has on children in China. It mentions how the Chinese economy is growing, so their problem with pollution is growing with it. The results showed that the pollution in China was having severe affects on the children who were breathing in the polluted air, and it was causes respiratory problems in these children. The research was done on children whose parents had reported that they were in good health, but the parents were afraid that the pollution was starting to affect their children. The research concluded that the pollution was affecting the children. The parents of the children wanted the government to step in to help control the pollution, so it can stop harming their children.
