Kaliforniyadagi ifloslanish - Pollution in California

Los-Anjelesning ko'rinishi tutun

Kaliforniyadagi ifloslanish darajasi bilan bog'liq ifloslanish shtatidagi havoda, suvda va quruqlikda Kaliforniya. Ifloslanish har qanday moddani (qattiq, suyuq yoki gaz) yoki energiyaning har qanday shaklini (masalan, issiqlik, tovush yoki radioaktivlik) atrof muhitga tarqalishi, suyultirilishi, parchalanishi, qayta ishlanishi mumkin bo'lganidan ko'ra tezroq qo'shilishi bilan belgilanadi. , yoki zararsiz shaklda saqlanadi.[1] Uch asosiy omilning kombinatsiyasi Kaliforniyadagi havoning ifloslanishining sezilarli darajada zararli sabablari hisoblanadi: 39 milliondan ortiq odamning faoliyati, ifloslanishni ushlab turuvchi tog'li hudud va ozon va boshqa ifloslantiruvchi moddalarni shakllantirishga yordam beradigan iliq iqlim.[2] 2013 yildan 2015 yilgacha zarracha moddalari yil davomida eng yuqori kontsentratsiyaga ega bo'lgan AQShdagi o'nta shaharning sakkiztasi Kaliforniyada, AQShning ozon bilan eng yomon ifloslangan o'nta shahridan yettitasi ham Kaliforniyada bo'lgan.[3] Tadqiqotlar shuni ko'rsatadiki ifloslantiruvchi moddalar Kaliforniyada keng tarqalgan, bir nechta sog'liq muammolari, shu jumladan astma, o'pka saratoni, tug'ilishning asoratlari va erta o'lim.[4] 2016 yilda, Beykerfild, Kaliforniya har qanday shaharning havodagi ifloslantiruvchi moddalarining eng yuqori darajasini qayd etdi Qo'shma Shtatlar.[5]

Suv ifloslanishi Federal tomonidan belgilanadi Toza suv to'g'risidagi qonun "qazib olinadigan buzilishlar, qattiq chiqindilar, yoqib yuborish qoldiqlari, kanalizatsiya, axlat, kanalizatsiya loylari, o'q-dorilar, kimyoviy chiqindilar, biologik materiallar, issiqlik, buzilgan yoki tashlangan uskunalar, tosh, qum, qabrlarga tushgan axlat va sanoat, maishiy va qishloq xo'jaligi chiqindilari suv. "[6] 2011 yilda an Atrof muhitni muhofaza qilish agentligi (EPA) tadqiqotlari shuni ko'rsatdiki, Kaliforniyaning 1,6 million gektarlik ko'llari, koylari, botqoqli joylari va daryolaridagi 1,6 million gektar maydonda suv sifati standartlari bajarilmagan. The Porter-Köln suv sifatini nazorat qilish to'g'risidagi qonun Kaliforniyadagi suv sifatini tartibga solishni boshqaradi.

Tarix

Kaliforniyaning ifloslanish tarixi 1943 yilda boshlangan bo'lib, odamlar tutunning ko'zlarini tirnash xususiyati, o'pkasini kuyishi va ko'ngil aynishini keltirib chiqaradigan epizodlarni birinchi marta tan olishgan va odamlarni shaharning ko'chalarida qalin havoni himoya qilish uchun niqob kiyib yurishgan. 1967 yildan boshlab Kaliforniyadagi bir qator siyosatchilar va etakchilar havoning qattiq ifloslanishiga qarshi kurash bo'yicha shtat miqyosidagi sa'y-harakatlarni birlashtirdilar va "Mulford-Carrell Air Resources Act" ni yaratdilar. Kaliforniya havo resurslari kengashi (CARB). O'sha yili 1967 yildagi Federal havo sifati to'g'risidagi qonun qabul qilindi, bu Kaliforniya shtatining o'ziga xos geografiya sharoiti, ob-havo va aholi sonining ko'payishi sababli havo sifati qoidalarini qat'iyan belgilashga imkon berdi.[7] Dahshatli taraqqiyotga qaramay, Qo'shma Shtatlardagi havoning ifloslanishi, va xususan Kaliforniya, odamlar salomatligi va atrof-muhitga zarar etkazishda davom etmoqda. Ostida Toza havo to'g'risidagi qonun (AQSh) 1970 yil, EPA havo ifloslanishini kamaytirish va unga etkazadigan zararni cheklash uchun shtat va mahalliy hukumat va federal idoralar bilan ishlaydi.[8] Qonunga 1977 va 1990 yillarda o'zgartirishlar kiritilib, havoning zararli ifloslantiruvchi moddalarini kamaytirishning maksimal darajasini talab qiladigan emissiya me'yorlari belgilandi.[8]

CARB Kaliforniyadagi havo sifati muammolarini hal qilishda mahalliy hukumat, biznes sektori va jamoatchilik bilan ishlashni davom ettirmoqda. So'nggi o'n yil ichida Kaliforniya bir nechta davlatlar bilan shartnomalar tuzish va savdo-sotiq dasturlarini Kvebek bilan bog'lash orqali iqlim o'zgarishi bo'yicha global etakchiga aylandi.[9] Issiqxona gazlari chiqindilarini kamaytirish uchun ko'plab dasturlar, shu jumladan transport sohasini tozalash va 2025 yilgacha yo'llarga 1,5 millionga yaqin vodorod yoqilg'isidan foydalanadigan transport vositalarini qo'shish rejalashtirilgan Nolinchi emissiya avtoulovi vakolati o'rnatilgan.[9] Qopqoq va savdo dasturi Kaliforniya bo'ylab shaharlarda parnik gazlarini kamaytirishga milliardlab dollar sarmoya kiritishga imkon berdi. Kaliforniya ifloslanishni kamaytirish bo'yicha muhim choralarni ko'rgan bo'lsa-da, shtat qolgan xalqning orqasida qolmoqda.[9] Aholining tobora ko'payib borishi, avtoulovlarning ko'pligi va quyoshli ob-havo atrof muhitni ifloslantirmoqda.[9]

Havoning ifloslanishi

Dan pastga qarab Gollivud tepaliklari, bilan Griffit rasadxonasi oldingi pog'onadagi tepalikda, havo ifloslanishi shahar markazida ko'rinadi Los Anjeles kech tushdan keyin.

Amerika o'pka assotsiatsiyasining yaqinda o'tkazgan "Havoning holati-2017" hisobotiga ko'ra, Kaliforniya boshqa shtatlar orasida havo ifloslanishi bo'yicha etakchi bo'lib, ozon darajasi yuqori.[10] Ozon (smog) darajasi qayd etilgan mamlakatning eng yaxshi uchta shahri Los-Anjeles-Long-Bich, Beykersfild va Fresno-Madera edi.[10] Salinas, Kaliforniya bir kunlik zararli bo'lmagan havo sifati haqida xabar beradigan Kaliforniyaning yagona shahri. Kaliforniyadagi havo sifati Kaliforniyaning shimoliy qismida sezilarli darajada yaxshiroq bo'lsa-da, Kaliforniyaliklarning to'qson foizdan ko'prog'i zararli havosi bo'lgan tumanlarda yashaydi.[10]

Los-Anjeles havosining ifloslanishi

AQShning eng ifloslangan shaharlar o'ntaligining grafigi

Garchi Los Anjeles ozon bilan eng yomon ifloslangan shahar bo'lib qolmoqda, havoning ifloslanishi yaxshilanmoqda.[11] 10 milliondan ziyod aholisi bo'lgan Los-Anjeles maydoni g'arbiy qismida Tinch okeanining katta havzasi va sharqiy va janubda 11000 metrlik cho'qqilarga ega bo'lgan bir necha tog 'tizmalari, ayniqsa ozonning yuqori darajalariga ta'sirchan.[10] Dizel dvigatellar, portlar, avtoulovlar va sanoat tarmoqlari Los-Anjeles havosining ifloslanishining asosiy manbalari hisoblanadi. Tez-tez quyoshli kunlar va kam yog'ingarchilik ozon hosil bo'lishiga, shuningdek, yuqori darajadagi mayda zarralar va changga yordam beradi.[12] Havo sifati indeksi (AQI) va ozon darajasi o'rtasidagi o'zaro bog'liqlikni havoning ifloslanish xaritalarida topish mumkin.[13]

Tutun tutun va tuman birlashganda va odatda transport vositalaridan chiqadigan birlamchi ifloslantiruvchi moddalar ultrabinafsha nurlar bilan reaksiyaga kirishib, ikkilamchi ifloslantiruvchi moddalarni hosil qilganda tutun hosil bo'ladi. Ushbu birlamchi va ikkilamchi ifloslantiruvchi moddalar birlashganda, shahar atrofida aylanib yurishi mumkin bo'lgan qalin tuman hosil qiladi. Ozon atrof-muhitni kuchli ultrabinafsha nurlaridan himoya qilishi mumkin bo'lsa-da, bu ozonning haddan tashqari ko'pligi odamlar salomatligi va yovvoyi hayot uchun juda zararli bo'lishi mumkin. Shahar tog'lar orasidagi havzada va Tinch okeanidan ichkariga kirib boruvchi shamolda yotar ekan, ozon, tutun va boshqa toksik zarralar Los-Anjeles atmosferasining o'rtasida turg'un bo'lib, qochib qutuladigan joyi yo'q.[14] Durgun atmosfera sharoiti Los-Anjeles atmosferasi uchun odatiy holdir, chunki atmosfera tez-tez inversiya qilinadi (bu shahar bo'ylab bir nechta ifloslantiruvchi moddalarni "ifloslik gumbazi" shaklida ushlab turadi). "Ifloslanish gumbazi" ta'siri metan kabi issiqxona gazlari kontsentratsiyasining kuchayishiga olib keladi[15] va karbonat angidrid ham Tadqiqotchilar shuni ko'rsatdiki, Los-Anjeles ustidagi "gumbaz" dagi karbonat angidridning ko'payishi dunyodagi eng kuchli joylardan biri bo'lib, uni sun'iy yo'ldosh kuzatuvlaridan osongina aniqlash mumkin.[16].

Los-Anjelesdagi havoning ifloslanishi keng tashvishga sabab bo'ldi. 2011 yilda Kaliforniya davlat siyosati instituti (PPIC) Kaliforniyaliklar va atrof-muhit bo'yicha o'tkazilgan so'rov natijalariga ko'ra Los-Anjelesdagi 45% fuqarolar havoning ifloslanishini "katta muammo" deb bilishadi va 47% Los-Anjeles havosining sifati 10 yil avvalgidan yomonroq deb hisoblashadi.[17] 2018 yildagi eng so'nggi PPIC So'rovi shuni ko'rsatdiki, Kaliforniyadagi kattalarning katta qismi (72%) va ehtimol saylovchilar issiqxona gazlari chiqindilarini kamaytirishni talab qiluvchi yangi shtat qonunini ma'qullaydilar va 56% kattalar davlatning savdo-sotiq dasturini qo'llab-quvvatlaydi. Bundan tashqari, Kaliforniyaliklarning qariyb yarmi shtatdagi iqlim siyosati ko'proq ish o'rinlari paydo bo'lishiga olib keladi, qolgan yarmi benzin narxi ko'tarilishini kutmoqda.[18] 2013 yilda Los-Anjeles-Long-Bich-Riverside hududi ozon bilan ifloslangan shahar sifatida 1-o'rinni egalladi, zarrachalarning yillik ifloslanishi bilan eng ko'p ifloslangan shahar 4-o'rinni va 24-soat zarrachalar bilan ifloslangan shaharni 4-o'rinni egalladi.[19]

Bay mintaqasi havosining ifloslanishi

Los-Anjeles mamlakatning ifloslantiruvchi moddalari orasida etakchi o'rinni egallab turgan bo'lsa-da, katta Bay mintaqasidagi ko'plab shaharlar ko'pincha ifloslanish jadvalining birinchi o'ntaligiga kiradilar.[20] Los-Anjelesning geografik cheklovlari va keng joylashuvi ularning noyob ifloslanish sharoitlari uchun qisman aybdor deb topilishi mumkin, ammo Bay hududi o'zlarining ifloslanish muammosiga birgalikda hissa qo'shadigan yirik shaharlarning ulkan klasteridir. Amerika o'pka assotsiatsiyasi tomonidan e'lon qilingan "Havoning holati" hisobotida Bay mintaqasining to'qqizta uchtasi ifloslanish ko'rsatkichlari bo'yicha Alameda, Contra Costa va Santa Clara kabi past baho olganlar ro'yxatiga kiritilgan. Bundan tashqari, zarrachalarning qisqa muddatli va yil bo'yi ifloslanishi biroz yaxshilangan bo'lsa-da, ozon darajasi 2014-2016 yillarda yomonlashdi. Qisqa muddatli zarrachalar ifloslanishi bo'yicha San-Frantsisko, San-Xose va Oklend mamlakatda oltinchi o'rinni egalladi va butun Bay Bay ozon ifloslanishida 13-o'rinni egalladi, bu mutaxassislar bir necha omillar, xususan iqlim o'zgarishi, o'rmon yong'inlari va chiqindilar bilan bog'liq.[21] O'rmon yong'inini ifloslantiruvchi moddalar, ayniqsa, jamoatchilik uchun xavflidir, chunki bu zarralar odatda ko'rinmas va sog'lig'iga zararli ta'sir ko'rsatishi mumkin. Bay mintaqasidagi va shtatning janubiy yarmining aksariyat qismida ifloslanish darajasini ko'rib chiqishda Kaliforniyada olimlarning diqqatini jalb qilishni talab qiladigan bir nechta iflos joylar mavjud.[22]

Ifloslanish tashqi ta'sir sifatida

Iqtisodiyotda tashqi ko'rinish ishlab chiqaruvchi to'liq narxini to'lamasligi va boshqa tomonga ijobiy yoki salbiy ta'sir ko'rsatishi bilan yuzaga keladi. Agar jamiyat uchun xarajat iste'molchi to'layotgan xarajatdan kattaroq bo'lsa, unda tashqi ta'sir salbiy bo'ladi, chunki u jamiyat uchun ushbu qo'shimcha xarajatlarni keltirib chiqaradi, bu esa bozor samarasizligiga olib kelishi mumkin. Salbiy tashqi ta'sirlar muammosini hal qilish o'z-o'zidan qimmatga tushishi mumkin, chunki ko'pincha javobgarlikni tayinlash qiyin. Odatda, ifloslangan hududga bo'lgan mulk huquqiga ega bo'lgan tomon xarajatlarni to'lash uchun javobgardir, ammo alternativ strategiyalar ham o'z ichiga oladi soliq solish ishlab chiqaruvchi yoki shaxslarning belgilangan guruhidan to'lovlarni yig'ish.[23] Kaliforniya, ayniqsa ishlab chiqarishning salbiy tashqi ta'siridan aziyat chekadi, ya'ni firmaning ishlab chiqarishi firma tomonidan qoplanmaydigan boshqalarning farovonligini pasaytiradi.[24]

Ifloslanish - bu jahon iqtisodiyotida mavjud bo'lgan salbiy tashqi ta'sirlarning eng keng tarqalgan shakllaridan biridir va bu, ayniqsa, mamlakatdagi eng yomon ifloslanish darajasidan aziyat chekayotgan Kaliforniyaga tegishli. Shuningdek, u havoning ifloslanishi, suvning ifloslanishi, qishloq xo'jaligining ifloslanishi va shovqinning ifloslanishi kabi turli shakllarda bo'lishi mumkin. San-Frantsisko va Los-Anjeles singari keng va aholisi zich shaharlari bilan shtat har qanday ifloslanishning sezilarli ulushlarini ishlab chiqaradi. Havoning ifloslanishi bozori grafigi ifloslanishning Kaliforniyadagi salbiy tashqi ta'sir sifatida qanday ishlashini tasavvur qilishga yordam beradi: ifloslanishni kamaytirish xarajatlari bozor muvozanatida past bo'lganligi sababli, ifloslanish miqdorini kamaytirish uchun bozor ijtimoiy muvozanatga o'tadi.

Atrof muhitning ifloslanishidan kelib chiqadigan salbiy ta'sirlar juda ko'p, chunki uning keng tabiati odamlarning ommasiga birdan ta'sir qilishi mumkin. Sog'liqni saqlash xarajatlari eng aniq bo'lsa-da, quyidagi bo'limlar Kaliforniya jamoatchiligi tomonidan salbiy tashqi ta'sirlar to'g'risida ko'proq ma'lumot beradi.

Kaliforniyadagi havoning ifloslanishi a tashqi tashqi ta'sir qazib olinadigan yoqilg'i yoki boshqa chiqindi gazlari chiqindilarining yonishidan kelib chiqadi. Grafiklardan ko'rinib turibdiki, ushbu salbiy tashqi ta'sir a o'lik vazn bilan ta'minlanganlik (DWL) natijada marginal foyda tenglamaydi marjinal xarajat.

Shahar atrofidagi tumanlarning katta miqdordagi tutunlanishiga sabab o'g'itlangan erlar bo'lishi mumkinligini ko'rsatadigan tadqiqotlar o'tkazildi. Tuproqda mavjud bo'lgan azot havoga tarqalib, tutunning asosiy tarkibiy qismi bo'lgan azot oksidini hosil qiladi. Ushbu miqdor YO'Qx havoga tarqalib ketganligi Kaliforniyada kuzatiladigan sog'liq muammolarining aksariyatini keltirib chiqarishi mumkin.[25] Ushbu sog'liqni saqlash holatlari kirish qismida tasvirlangan va bolalar va qariyalarga zarar etkazishi mumkin. Quyidagi rasm A, o'g'it tufayli havoga chiqadigan azot miqdorining keskin farqini ko'rsatadi. Mogensonning ta'kidlashicha, Kaliforniya shtatining Sakramento va Los-Anjeles kabi tutunli tadqiqotlar olib boriladigan issiq joylari yaqinida biron bir qishloq xo'jaligi erlari bo'lmasa ham, azot oksidi chiqindilarining 4% qishloq xo'jaligi erlarida tuproqdan kelib chiqadi.[25] Meva va sabzavot kabi qishloq xo'jaligi o'sishi Kaliforniyadagi valyutaning asosiy manbai bo'lganida, tuproqdan chiqarilgan azot miqdori bilan qanday kurashish kerakligini hal qilishda muammo yotadi.

Sog'liq uchun xavf

Ozon ham, zarrachalar ham ifloslanishi inson salomatligi uchun xavflidir. The Atrof muhitni muhofaza qilish agentligi (EPA) dalillarni baholashda yordam berish uchun ekspert olimlar guruhi, "Toza havo" ilmiy-maslahat qo'mitasini jalb qildi. EPA ozon va zarrachalar ifloslanishining sog'liq uchun tahdidi bo'yicha o'tkazilgan so'nggi tadqiqotlar natijalarini e'lon qildi.[26][27]

EPA Ozonning ifloslanishi jiddiy sog'liq uchun xavf tug'diradi:

  • Nafas olish tizimiga zarar etkazadi (masalan, astma yomonlashadi, KOAH yomonlashadi, yallig'lanish)
  • Erta o'limga olib kelishi mumkin (qisqa muddatli va uzoq muddatli ta'sir)
  • Yurak-qon tomirlariga zarar etkazishi mumkin (masalan, yurak xurujlari, qon tomirlari, yurak kasalliklari, konjestif yurak etishmovchiligi)
  • Markaziy asab tizimiga zarar etkazishi mumkin
  • Reproduktiv va rivojlanishga zarar etkazishi mumkin

EPA nozik zarrachalarning ifloslanishi jiddiy sog'liq uchun xavf tug'diradi:

  • Erta o'limga olib keladi (qisqa muddatli va uzoq muddatli ta'sir)
  • Yurak-qon tomirlariga zarar etkazadi (masalan, yurak xurujlari, qon tomirlari, yurak kasalliklari, konjestif yurak etishmovchiligi)
  • Nafas olish tizimiga zarar etkazishi mumkin (masalan, astma yomonlashadi, KOAH yomonlashadi, yallig'lanish)
  • Saraton kasalligini keltirib chiqarishi mumkin
  • Reproduktiv va rivojlanishga zarar etkazishi mumkin

Hukumat aralashuvi

Kaliforniyadagi havo sifati milliy standartlariga javob berish va mahalliy aholining sog'lig'ini yaxshilashga yordam berish EPA uchun ustuvor vazifa bo'lib qolmoqda. EPAning eng muhim ustuvor yo'nalishlaridan biri bu kemalar, yuk mashinalari, lokomotivlar va boshqa dizel dvigatellarning dizel chiqindilarini kamaytirishni qo'llab-quvvatlashdir.[19] 2005 yilda Kongress tomonidan moliyalashtirish vakolati berilgan Dizel chiqindilarini kamaytirish to'g'risidagi qonun (DERA), EPA tomonidan boshqariladigan, inson salomatligiga ta'sir qilishi mumkin bo'lgan eski dizel dvigatellarni tanlab o'zgartirish yoki almashtirish uchun grant dasturi. 2008 yildan beri DERA dasturi havo sifatini yaxshilashning ajoyib natijalariga erishdi.[28] EPK, shuningdek, davlat va mahalliy sheriklar bilan port operatsiyalaridan chiqadigan chiqindilarni kamaytirish va mintaqa orqali yuklarni samarali tashishni yaxshilash uchun ishlaydi. Bilan birga Long-Bich porti EPA va Los-Anjeles porti ning sheriklari San-Pedro ko'rfazidagi toza havo harakatlari rejasi, port bilan bog'liq kemalar, poezdlar, yuk mashinalari, terminal uskunalari va port kemalari havosining ifloslanishi oqibatida sog'liq uchun xavfni sezilarli darajada kamaytirishga qaratilgan keng qamrovli reja.[12] Ushbu ikkita port AQShning eng gavjum konteyner portlari hisoblanadi. Uchun ekologik adolat, kam daromadli LA jamoalarida havoning ifloslanishi ko'proq e'tibor oldi. 2011 yilda "Yashilni tozalang ”Kampaniyasi to'rtta kam daromadli LA jamoalarini - Pakoima, Boyl Xayts va Uilmingtonni belgilash uchun boshlandi. Ushbu aksiya yashil sanoatni imtiyozlar, shu jumladan ruxsat olish va soliq va kommunal xizmatlar uchun chegirmalar olishda yordam berishga undashga qaratilgan.[29] So'nggi bir necha o'n yilliklar davomida Los-Anjelesdagi havo ifloslanish darajasi pasaygan bo'lsa ham,[30] Los-Anjelesdagi fuqarolar hali ham havoning yuqori darajada ifloslanishidan aziyat chekmoqda.[31]

Quvur kanalining ifloslanishi

Zamonaviy dunyo va benzin va dizel yoqilg'isida ishlaydigan vositalarning sanoat kengayishi bilan chiqindi gazlari chiqindilari havoning ifloslanishiga muhim hissa qo'shishda davom eting. Qoldiq yoqilg'ini yoqish qobiliyatiga ega bo'lgan har bir transport vositasi qandaydir zararli moddalar chiqaradi yoki chiqindi gazlar, ular yugurayotgan har bir daqiqada havoga. Avtotransport vositalarida ishlab chiqarilgan eng keng tarqalgan gazlardan uchtasini o'z ichiga oladi uglevodorodlar, uglerod oksidi va azot oksidlari.[32] Ushbu gazlarning dvigatel ichida paydo bo'lishi ba'zi jihatlardan farqli o'laroq, bitta asosiy omilga amal qiladi, bu yoqilg'i va havoning yonishi. Yonish hech qanday holatda hech qachon mukammal kimyoviy reaktsiya bo'lmaydi. Har qanday yonish jarayonida qo'shimcha yoqilg'i yoki etarli yoqilg'i mavjud; shuning uchun keraksiz gazlarni yaratish va chiqarish.

Birinchidan, transport vositalarining eng keng tarqalgan va juda ko'p ifloslantiruvchi uglevodorodlari mavjud. Uglevodorodlar - bu yonish jarayonida yoqilmagan yoqilg'ining mahsulotidir. Ba'zi yonish holatlarida, yoqilg'i transport vositasining orqa trubkasidan chiqqanda xom bug 'bo'lib qoladi.[33] Xom benzin bug'ining yoki uglevodorodlarning bu zarralari bu jarayonda qatnashmasdan butun yonish jarayonidan o'tadi va biz nafas olayotgan havoga qochib qutuladi. Xom yoqilg'i bilan bir qatorda uglevodorodlarni chiqaradigan transport vositalarida ham boshqa omillar mavjud. Masalan, transport vositasida yonilg'i tizimi bosim ostida. Buning sababi shundaki, benzin juda uchuvchan va har qanday kichik oqish gaz bug'lari yoki uglevodorodlar havoga chiqib ketishini anglatishi mumkin.[33] Ushbu kichik qochqinlar butun "Bug'lanish emissiyasini boshqarish tizimi" yoki yoqilg'ini dvigatelga etkazib beradigan tizimning istalgan joyida bo'lishi mumkin. Yoqilg'i quvurlari yoki shamollatish shlanglaridagi har qanday yoriqlar, hatto eskirgan yoki bo'shashgan gaz qopqoqlari ham benzin zarrachasini havoga uchib ketishiga va uglevodorodlar bilan ifloslanishiga olib keladi.

Bundan tashqari, yonish juda yoqilg'iga boy bo'lgan kontsentratsiya bilan sodir bo'ladi. Bunday holda, uglerod oksidi hosil bo'lishi borligini aniqlaymiz. Uglerod oksidi yonish jarayonida etarli miqdordagi kislorod bilan yonishi natijasida hosil bo'lib, normal karbonat angidridning paydo bo'lishiga to'sqinlik qiladi va shuning uchun uglerod oksidi molekulalarini hosil qiladi, bu odamlar uchun o'limga olib kelishi mumkin.[34]

Yonish jarayonidan kelib chiqadigan yana bir zararli moddalar azot oksidi. Azot oksidi deformatsiya sifatida emas, balki turli xil havoning hosil bo'lishi natijasida hosil bo'ladi. Havo ikki asosiy elementdan iborat: azot va kislorod.[35] Shuning uchun, dvigatel yonish jarayoni uchun atrofdagi atmosfera havosini olganda, azot so'rilib ketadigan elementlardan biri bo'lib qoladi. Atrof muhit harorati muntazam bo'lgan taqdirda, azot va kislorod gazlari bir-biri bilan kimyoviy reaktiv emas, yonish jarayonlari sodir bo'lganda, ular dvigatel silindrida birga bo'lganlarida, ular reaktiv bo'ladi.[34] Tsilindr ichidagi bu yuqori haroratlar azot va kislorod atomlarini biriktirib, azot oksidi moddasini hosil qiladi va keyinchalik transport vositasining trubkasi orqali havoga chiqadi.

Egzoz quvurlari chiqindilarining ta'siri

O'rtacha har bir transport vositasi har yili taxminan 250 funt uglerod oksidi, 18,32 funt azot oksidi, 29 funt uglevodorod va 9 737 funt karbonat angidridni chiqaradi.[36] Avtotransport vositalaridan chiqadigan bu gazlar odamlarga bevosita va bilvosita zararli hisoblanadi. Avtotransport vositalaridan kelib chiqadigan eng katta va eng mashhur muammo ular ishlab chiqaradigan karbonat angidrid bilan bog'liq. Karbonat angidrid atmosferaga ko'tarilib, bizning atmosferamizda adyol vazifasini o'taganligi sababli issiqxona gazi sifatida tanilgan. "Issiqxona effekti "." Issiqxona effekti "- bu ko'tarilish va harorat va dengiz sathini keltirib chiqaradigan global hodisa. Karbonat angidrid atmosferadagi issiqlikni ushlab turishda davom etmoqda.[32] Dunyo bo'ylab atmosferamizdagi karbonat angidrid gazlarining ko'payishi bilan transport havoning ifloslanishiga eng katta hissa qo'shmoqda. Ga ko'ra EPA, transport butun dunyo bo'ylab Issiqxona gazlari chiqindilarining taxminan 29 foizini ishlab chiqaradi.[37]

Naychadan chiqadigan chiqindilar ham odamlarga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri zarar etkazadi. Avtotransport vositasi tomonidan chiqariladigan gazlarning aksariyati ko'plab asoratlar va sog'liq muammolariga olib kelishi mumkin. Gazlarning birortasini ortiqcha iste'mol qilish organlarga kislorod etkazib berishni to'xtatadi va nafas olish va yurak muammolari kabi jiddiy muammolarga olib kelishi mumkin.[38] Ushbu gazlarni ommaviy ravishda qabul qilish inson tanasidagi organlarga zudlik bilan zarar etkaza boshlaydi va bu nafas olish qobiliyatini yo'qotadi. Ushbu gazlarning yuqori dozalari allergik reaktsiyalar, tirnash xususiyati, bronxit va hatto pnevmoniya darajasini oshirishga yordam beradi.[32] Shunga qaramay, ushbu gazlarning katta miqdori birdaniga qabul qilinmasa ham, ushbu gazlarning kichik dozalari uzoq muddatli zararlarga ham olib kelishi mumkin. Ushbu gazlarning doimiy ravishda kichik dozalari o'pkaning yomonlashishiga olib keladi va hatto kelajakda yurak kasalliklariga sabab bo'ladi.[39]

Kaliforniyadagi chiqindilarni tartibga solish bo'yicha harakatlar

Chiqindilarning ta'siriga javoban Kaliforniya tashabbusi bilan transport vositalaridan chiqadigan chiqindilar chiqindilarini tartibga solishda yordam beradigan bir nechta dastur va tashkilotlarni ishga tushirdi. Kaliforniyada emissiya ta'sirini kamaytirish uchun tashkil etilgan ikkita yirik hukumat tashkilotiga quyidagilar kiradi: Kaliforniya Havo resurslari kengashi (CARB ) va Avtomobillarni ta'mirlash byurosi (BAR). Ushbu tashkilotlarning har biri ko'chalarda ketayotgan transport vositalarining biz yashaydigan atrof-muhitni ifloslantirmasligi uchun qonunlarni qayta ko'rib chiqish uchun doimiy ravishda harakatlarni olib boradi. CARB va BAR hamkorlikda Kaliforniya shtatida joylashgan avtoulovlarning chiqindilarining tarkibiy qismlariga oid ko'plab qoidalarni o'rnatadilar. aniq. Ushbu sa'y-harakatlar tufayli Kaliforniya keng miqyosda chiqindilar chiqindilariga rioya qilishda eng ko'p tartibga solingan davlatlardan biri sifatida tanilgan. Kaliforniyada transport vositasini qonuniy ravishda boshqarish uchun ko'pchilik transport vositalari CARB talablariga javob berishi va shuningdek, ikki yilda bir marta o'tkaziladigan smog sinovlaridan o'tishi kerak.

The Smog tekshiruvi dastur Qo'shma Shtatlarning aksariyat shtatlarida tashkil etilgan dasturdir, ammo Kaliforniyada ushbu dastur eng qat'iy sinovlardan biri hisoblanadi. Sinov sinov tartibining tabiati tufayli qat'iy emas, aksincha, emissiya cheklovlari va Kaliforniya tomonidan amalga oshiriladigan qonuniy qismlarning belgilanishi. Kaliforniya turli xil avtomobil modellari yillari uchun turli xil tutun ko'rsatmalarini amalga oshirishni davom ettiradi. Masalan, DMV veb-saytiga ko'ra, 1975 yildagi va undan yuqori modeldagi transport vositalarining barchasi smogdan ozod qilingan va Kaliforniyada tutun tekshiruvidan o'tishi shart emas.[40] Ehtimol, bu eski avtomobillar aslida o'zlarining yangi vositalariga qaraganda ko'proq ifloslantiruvchi moddalarni chiqaradilar, ammo iqtisodiy samaradorlik nuqtai nazaridan ushbu transport vositalarida smog sinovlarini amalga oshirish uchun 1975 va undan katta bo'lgan avtomobillar etarli emas. Boshqa tomondan, 1976 yildan 1996 yilgacha bo'lgan transport vositalarida har ikki yilda bir marta bajarilishi kerak bo'lgan ko'p qismli tutun tekshiruvi mavjud.[40] Ushbu sinov quyidagilardan iborat: chiqindi suvlari chiqindilarini sinab ko'rish, vizual tekshirish, bug'lanish emissiyasi tizimining bosim sinovi va tutashuv vaqtini ta'minlash uchun tekshirish (tegishli transport vositalarida).[41] Sinovning ushbu tarkibiy qismlarining har biri transport vositasini atrof muhitni haddan tashqari ifloslantirmasligi uchun juda muhimdir. Masalan, bug'lashtiruvchi emissiya tizimining sinovi tizimning bosim ostida sinovdan o'tkazilishini va atmosferaga ortiqcha uglevodorodlar chiqmasligi uchun hech qanday qochqinning yo'qligini aniqlaydi. Boshqa tomondan, chiqindi suvlari chiqindilarining sinovi to'g'ridan-to'g'ri avtomobil chiqaradigan ifloslantiruvchi moddalar miqdorini o'lchaydi. Kaliforniya shtati har bir transport vositasi uchun chiqindi gazining chiqindilarini qisqartirish punktlarini o'rnatdi, keyin u chiqindilar sinovidan o'tishini yoki muvaffaqiyatsiz bo'lishini aniqlaydi. Ushbu cheklov nuqtalari transport vositasi haddan tashqari ifloslantiruvchi deb hisoblanmasdan oldin chiqishga ruxsat berilgan uglevodorodlar, uglerod oksidi, azot oksidi va foiz karbonat angidrid miqdori uchun belgilanadi.[42] Avtoulovlarni ta'mirlash byurosi va Kaliforniyaning Havo resurslari kengashi yil davomida bir nechta sinovlarni o'tkazib, Kaliforniyadagi har bir transport vositasi uchun chegara nuqtalari uchun oqilona qiymatlarni belgilash uchun etarlicha namuna ma'lumotlarini yig'di. Bunda shtatning ikkita asosiy tashvishi havoning ifloslanishini cheklash va iste'molchilarning ortiqcha ishlamasligi darajasini oldini olishdir. Shu sababli, ularning yo'l bo'yidagi tutun sinovlari va chiqindilarni o'rganish natijasida Kaliforniya oqilona qadriyatlarni aks ettiruvchi cheklovlarni saqlab turishga muvaffaq bo'ldi.

Smogni tekshirish dasturidagi yana bir muhim omil - bu vizual test. The vizual test bu, ayniqsa Kaliforniyada muhim ahamiyatga ega, chunki u avtomobil chiqindilari tarkibiy qismlarining buzilmasligini yoki buzilmasligini ta'minlaydi. BAR va CARB doimiy ravishda har bir transport vositasi ishlab chiqaradigan va ishlab chiqaradigan modelga tegishli bo'lgan qattiq sotuvlar yoki buzilgan qismlarga oid ko'rsatmalarni doimiy ravishda amalga oshirib kelmoqda. Kaliforniyada ro'yxatdan o'tgan har bir transport vositasi ishlab chiqaruvchining asl uskunalari bilan jihozlangan bo'lishi kerak yoki agar u keyingi chiqindilar chiqindilari bilan bog'liq qismlarga ega bo'lsa, u CARB tomonidan tasdiqlangan ijro buyrug'iga ega bo'lishi kerak. Ushbu ijro etuvchi buyruqlar transport vositasiga o'rnatilgandan keyingi bozor qismi avtomobil chiqindilarini ko'paytirmasligini ta'minlaydi.[43] CARBda Kaliforniya shtatida ishlatilishi mumkin bo'lgan ehtiyot qismlar haqida keng ma'lumotlar bazasi mavjud va ushbu qismlar bilan jihozlangan har qanday transport vositasi shuningdek qismning ijro tartib raqamini ko'rsatuvchi stiker yoki nishon bilan jihozlangan bo'lishi kerak.

Aksariyat davlatlar transport vositasi hali ham to'g'ri ishlashi sharti bilan avtomobilga o'rnatilgan CARB-dan tashqari qismlar bilan jihozlangan bo'lsa ham, transport vositasini tutun tekshiruvidan o'tkazishga imkon beradi. Tegishli funksionallik nuqtai nazaridan ushbu holatlar transport vositasini tekshiradi dvigatel yorug'ligini tekshiring va ba'zi hollarda avtotransport vositalarining to'xtab turish holatida chiqadigan chiqindilarni tekshiradigan ikki bosqichli bo'sh sinovni o'tkazing. Biroq, Kaliforniyada transport vositasi "to'g'ri ishlashi" deb nomlangan bo'lsa ham, chiqindilarning tarkibiy qismlari ijro etuvchi buyurtma raqami bilan jihozlanmagan bo'lsa, u tutundan o'tmaydi. Kaliforniya shtati buni bajarmoqda, chunki shtatning belgilangan emissiya cheklovlari boshqa shtatlarga qaraganda ancha yuqori standartlarga ega. Shuning uchun, agar uning bir qismi CARB tomonidan tasdiqlanmagan bo'lsa, u avtomobil tomonidan chiqariladigan ideal emissiya zarralaridan ko'proq narsalarga olib kelishi ehtimoli katta. CARB qonuniy qismlariga rioya qilish orqali iste'molchilar transport vositalarining Yerdagi ifloslanish ta'sirini kamaytirishga yordam berishadi.

Islohotlar

Davlat tomonidan havo ifloslanishini kamaytirishga qaratilgan sa'y-harakatlarga qaramay, trubka 2019 yil yanvar oyidan boshlab ifloslanish o'sishda davom etib, 2013 yildan beri 5 foizga o'sdi. Kaliforniya hukumati 5 million maqsadli maqsad qo'ydi elektr transport vositalari 2030 yilga kelib, ammo Kaliforniya ushbu maqsadga erishishda muvaffaqiyat qozongan taqdirda ham, ular o'zlariga mos kelmaydi uglerodni kamaytirish kishi boshiga milya sayohatlarini kamida 25% kamaytirmasdan maqsad. Kaliforniyaning keng shaharlarining joylashuvi tufayli, shtat jamoat transporti uchun juda mos emas va bu Kaliforniyaning uglerodni kamaytirish bo'yicha maqsadlarini bajarishiga ta'sir ko'rsatishda davom etmoqda.[44]

Issiqxona gazlari chiqindilari Kaliforniyaliklar uchun katta xavf tug'diradi, chunki bu ifloslantiruvchi moddalarning mavjudligi butun shtatda allaqachon sezilgan va har kuni haydaladigan ko'plab avtomobillar tufayli kurashish qiyin. Yuqorida aytib o'tilganidek, Los-Anjeles bu masalada ayniqsa zaifdir, chunki transport vositalarida qatnov shaharda transportning asosiy shakli hisoblanadi, shuning uchun avtoulovlardan chiqadigan chiqindi gazlar quyuq va turg'un havoni yanada yaxshi echimlar topilmaguncha to'ldirishda davom etadi. Hozirda ushbu maqsadlardan ikkitasi 2030 yilga kelib chiqindi gazlarini 40 foizga kamaytirish va qayta tiklanadigan manbalarni, masalan, elektr energiyasini qidirishni davom ettirishdir. Ushbu maqsadlar ulkan bo'lsa-da, hal qiluvchi maqsad sari intilmoqda: muammo manbasining bir qismini olib tashlash orqali chiqindilarni kamaytirish.[45]

Kaliforniyadagi havoning ifloslanishi va past ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy ahvol

The AQSh atrof-muhitni muhofaza qilish agentligi Interaktiv onlayn xaritasi - EJSCREEN - mamlakat bo'ylab past darajadagi ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy jamoalarni aks ettiradi, ular havoning ifloslanishi va unga bog'liq bo'lgan sog'liq uchun xavfli. Ushbu xaritada namoyish etilganidek, Janubi-sharqiy Los-Anjeles Tuman mahallalari, birinchi navbatda qashshoq hududlar San-Xakin vodiysi va Ichki imperiya, havoning ifloslanishi va atrof-muhitdagi adolatsizlikka ko'proq ta'sir qilishadi. Bunday joylarda qashshoqlik chekkan hududlarda yashovchilar atrof-muhitni muhofaza qilish va xavfsizlik manbalaridan teng foydalana olmaydilar. Ushbu qashshoqlik chekkan mahallalar tez-tez avtomagistrallar, xavfli ob'ektlar va / yoki temir yo'l hovlilariga yaqin joylarda joylashgan.[46]

Ekologik adolatsizlik holatlari

Los-Anjeles okrugidagi latino bolalardagi diabet

2017 yilda tadqiqotchilar Los-Anjelesda yashovchi latino va latina bolalaridagi diabet kasalligi havo sifati bilan bog'liqligini aniqladilar.[47] Boshchiligidagi tadqiqot Janubiy Kaliforniya universiteti bir necha yil davomida bir xil bolalarning sog'lig'i va turar-joy havosining ifloslanish darajasini kuzatgan birinchi tur edi. Tadqiqot sub'ektlari sakkiz yoshdan o'n besh yoshgacha bo'lgan, ortiqcha joylarda yashovchi ortiqcha vaznli latino bolalar edi zarrachalar. Xususan, bolalar mahallalari azot dioksid darajasi ko'tarilgan joylarda joylashgan bo'lib, havoni ifloslantiruvchi moddalar yaqin atrofdagi elektr stantsiyalariga va transport vositalarining katta hajmdagi harakatlanishiga sabab bo'lgan.[47] Natijalar shuni ko'rsatdiki, bolalar xavfi sezilarli darajada oshgan 2-toifa diabet ular o'n sakkiz yoshga to'lganlarida, masalan, insulin ajratuvchi hujayralardagi samaradorlikni pasayishi oshqozon osti bezi.[48] Bunday holatdan kelib chiqadigan insulin qarshiligi diabetning paydo bo'lishining bevosita sababidir.[49]

Qandli diabet organizmning qon glyukozasini (yoki) to'g'ri tartibga sola olmasligi bilan tavsiflangan kasallikdir qon shakar ) darajalar. Uzoq muddatli yuqori qon shakar darajasi sog'liq kabi og'ir asoratlarni keltirib chiqarishi mumkin yurak kasalligi, asab shikastlanishi, buyrak etishmovchiligi, ko'rlik, yoki hatto erta o'lim.[50] Qandli diabet o'sib borayotgan epidemiyaga aylanib borayotganligi sababli Kasalliklarni nazorat qilish va oldini olish markazi taxminan 8 milliongacha AQSh fuqarosi aniqlanmagan diabet yoki uning kashfiyotchisi bo'lishi mumkin.[51] An'anaviy tibbiy xulosalar shuni ko'rsatadiki, zararli yoki kaloriya dietalari, jismoniy faoliyatning etishmasligi va oilaviy tarix kasallik rivojlanish xavfi hisoblanadi; ammo, yaqinda o'tkazilgan tadqiqotlar 2-toifa diabet va havoning ifloslanishining tashqi omili o'rtasidagi bog'liqlikni aniqlay boshladi.[48] Chunki ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy holat, irq va havoning ifloslanishi tez-tez o'zaro bog'liq bo'lib, CDC ilgari sanab o'tilganlarga qo'shimcha ravishda, 2-toifa diabet uchun oldindan mavjud bo'lgan xavf omillari sifatida ma'lum ijtimoiy-iqtisodiy sharoitlarni yoki irqlarni tan oladi.[47] Statistika shuni ko'rsatadiki, ispaniyaliklar qandli diabetdan o'lish ehtimoli oq tanlilarga qaraganda 50% ko'proq va ekologik adolatsizlik masalalariga bag'ishlangan tadqiqotlar ushbu nomutanosiblikning mumkin bo'lgan sabablarini namoyish etishga qodir.[52]

Kalver-Siti shahridagi maktablarning transport vositalarining harakatlanishiga yaqinligi

Kaliforniya shtatlari jamoalarining fazoviy joylashuvi shtatning janubiy mintaqalari havosining konsentratsiyalangan ifloslanishiga ta'sir etishda katta rol o'ynaydi. Shahar atrofi Los Anjeles, El-Marino Til maktabi o'n qatorga qo'shni joyda joylashgan Davlatlararo 405. Bu kabi maktablarning o'quvchilari, ko'pincha boshlang'ich yoshdagi, ifloslanish darajasining keskin oshishiga olib keladi avtomobil chiqindilari shu jumladan kanserogen birikmalar.[53] Yo'l harakati ifloslanishining sog'liqqa ta'siri boshlanishni o'z ichiga oladi yurak-qon tomir kasalliklari, Astma, o'pkaning ishi buzilishi, erta o'lim va boshqa asoratlarning ko'pligi.[54] Bundan tashqari, bolalar sezgir nafas olish tizimlarining to'liq rivojlanmaganligi, xuddi shu ifloslanishning kattalar uchun sog'lig'iga ta'siri bilan taqqoslaganda, havo ifloslanishining murakkab ta'siriga olib keladi.[55]

Avtotransport vositalarining ifloslanishining sog'liq uchun oqibatlari keng tan olingan va uning ta'sirini kamaytirish uchun ba'zi qonunlar qabul qilingan bo'lsa-da, aslida juda oz miqdordagi aniq choralar ko'rilmadi. 2003 yilda Kaliforniya Senatning 352-sonli qonun loyihasini qabul qildi, u ma'lum istisnolardan tashqari avtomagistralning 500 fut masofasida yangi maktablar qurishni taqiqladi.[56] Biroq, qonun loyihasi deyarli e'tibordan chetda qolmadi, chunki 2014-2015 yillarda ochilgan har 5 maktabdan bittasi taqiqni to'g'ridan-to'g'ri buzgan.[53] 2015 yilda Atrof muhitni muhofaza qilish agentligi onlayn va bosma nashrlarda mavjud bo'lgan "Maktablarda yaqin atrofdagi ifloslanish ta'sirini kamaytirish bo'yicha eng yaxshi amaliyotlar" nomli ma'ruzasini chiqardi.[55] Biroq, maktab o'quvchilariga nisbatan hech qanday talablarsiz AQSh Ta'lim vazirligi, davlat tomonidan moliyalashtiriladigan maktablar uning ko'rsatmalariga rioya qilish majburiyati yo'q. The reluctance of public schools to comply with safety regulations often stems from monetary limitations that encourage the use of cheap land, a dilemma that disproportionately impacts children of poorer areas; the report noted that minority and low-income students have a higher prevalence of attendance in public schools of urban areas, such as the big cities in which busy roads and schools share territory.[53]

Fracking violations in Kern County school zones

Oil fracking is a process that involves a high-pressure injection of fluid into the ground to extract oil.[57] The adverse environmental effects of this oil and natural gas extraction are the subject of much controversy, the primary concerns of which surround the contamination of surrounding water and air sources. These risks result when underground drinking water and surface water are exposed to discharges of the chemically-infused fracking fluid due to faulty construction or operation, disposal leaks, or other unintended byproducts like the release of hazardous volatile compounds into the air.[58] In terms of air pollution, "hydrofracking" causes detriment to both the environment and human health. Enormous quantities of metan, a issiqxona gazi, escape into the ozon qatlami Yerning atmosfera during the extraction process, where they accelerate the impacts of Iqlim o'zgarishi. Furthermore, air contaminants like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, formaldehydes, and hydrogen sulfide that are released during drilling have been shown to cause harmful effects ranging from cancer, organ failure, neurological issues, to birth defects.[59]

In 2015, a study revealed that there are forty-five fracking sites within 1.5 miles of one junior high in the town of Shft, one of California's top ten most polluted communities. The students of this community suffer from the state's decision to allow oil companies to continue hydraulic fracturing within close proximity of their schools. Parents observe severe and unexplainable health complications amongst their children, including asthma and epilepsiya, that may be correlated with air toxins from the nearby wells.[60] Hammasida Kern okrugi, in which Shafter is located, a staggering ten school districts sit within one mile of fracking wells. The situation becomes even more problematic when the fact that Kern County is predominantly Latino in racial/ethnic composition is considered; in fact, 20% or more of its residents are foreign-born emigrants of Asia and Latin America.[59] Some argue that the concentration of fracking sites around the community's population of color is a discriminatory practice in direct violation of California Code 11135, which states that no person shall be unlawfully subjected to discrimination by any state or state-funded agency on the basis of race or ethnic group identification.[61]

Inequalities in cumulative environmental burdens among three urbanized counties in California

In 2012, this research used the method of cumulative environmental hazard inequality Index (CEHII), which is a model developed to environmental inequality in havoning ifloslanishi hazards., to analyze the environmental inequality in three counties in California: Alameda, San Diego and Los Angeles (Jason et al. 2012). In addition to frequently used air pollution parameter like NO2, PM 2.5 and diesel PM, a metric of heat stress was included for the analysis because excessive heat weather comes to be an environmental problem that can threaten human health.

The result indicated that colored communities bear greater air pollution including NO2, PM 2.5, PM 10, and heat stress compared to predominantly white and more affluent communities. Yilda San-Diego okrugi, qarindosh issiqlik stresi inequality was founded to be the highest. Also, significant heat stress inequality was observed in Los Angeles. The result shows that in these two counties, there was a strong positive correlation between the percentage of Non-Whites in the community and heat stress inequality. Biroq, ichida Alameda county, an opposite pattern was found: the community with a higher White population experienced more extreme temperature exceedances. This might be explained by the fact that the White population and the more affluent class in Alameda County mainly lived in the eastern area further away from the coast, which resulted in the higher heat stress exposure.

Also, the research verified that poverty status is consistent with the trend of disproportion burden of the racial-ethnic status. As the analysis was conducted according to the poverty status instead of racial-ethnic status for air pollutants NO2, PM2.5, and diesel PM, the results indicated a similar result as the analysis to heat stress. Furthermore, from the data, a strong correlation was found between poverty and proportion of non-white population (Alameda: r=0.69, Los Angeles: r=0.77). Above all, this research demonstrates that air pollution is disproportionally distributed according to the socioeconomic and racial-ethnic status in the United States.

As a future direction of study, it plans to classify the inequality that exists in African American, Hispanic, Asian, and other ethnic groups. Furthermore, the technique used in this research provided a way to assess environmental inequality and the results can be used to assist decision makers in efforts to address environmental inequality issues.[62]

Proposed coal terminal in West Oakland

In February 2016, the city of Oklend publicly announced construction plans for the Oakland Bulk and Oversized Terminal, a bulk exporting facility in West Oakland. As a predominantly Latino and African-American community, the residents of West Oakland live in a community that suffers from dangerous levels of air pollution. The construction of this port and its proposed partnership with Utah's coal-mining counties would rank the city as the lead coal exporter on the West Coast.[63] To fund such a goliath project in the face of strong resistance from city councils fighting to protect their local communities from drastically increasing pollution emissions, Utah state and county officials arranged a controversial $53 million loan.[64] The fund, composed of taxpayer dollars intended for local projects, would allow for the annual shipping of 9 million tons of coal through Oakland and an increase in national coal exports by 19%.[65] A movement by environmental advocates quickly grew, citing that exposure to toxic ko'mir kukuni would also subject the city's residents to increased risks of bronxit, zotiljam, yurak kasalligi, amfizem va boshqalar.[63]

In response, thousands of Oakland residents and environmental rights activists worked together to prevent the construction of the coal terminal at the former Oklend armiyasi bazasi. 2016 yil iyul oyida, Oklend shahar kengashi voted to ban coal from being handled and stored in the City of Oakland.[63] The decision marked a large victory for the newly established Department of Race and Equity,[66] an organization designed to protect Oakland's predominantly African-American community from social and racial disparities.[67] According to the "Toxic Wastes and Race in the United States" report issued by the East Bay Community Foundation, those living in G'arbiy Oklend already encounter five times more toxic pollution per person than residents of the city of Oakland, and children living in West Oakland are seven times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma than the average child in California.[63] The residents of West Oakland are more likely to face both decreased life expectancy and asthma-related emergency room visits.[67] For a city already bearing a disproportionate amount of environmental burdens, the fight for a coal-free Oakland was a success for proponents of environmental justice.

Sabablari

Havoning ifloslanishi stems from a number of sources, and the amount of pollutant from each source differs from place to place. Particulate pollution sources are shown in the graph at right. Residential wood combustion, such as burning wood in fireplaces, is the largest source of PM 2.5 pollution.

Sources of particulate pollution in California.

The Toza havo to'g'risidagi qonun talab qiladi AQSh EPA to regulate six common pollutants. These air pollutants (also known as "criteria pollutants") are found all over the United States. They are particle pollution, ground-level ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and lead. All of these pollutants have been shown to have adverse health and environmental impacts and some can cause property damage. Of the six pollutants, particle pollution and ground-level ozone are the most widespread health threats. EPA calls these pollutants "criteria" air pollutants because it regulates them by developing human health-based and/or environmentally-based criteria (science-based guidelines) for setting permissible levels.

Fossil fuels are a leading source of air and Qo'shma Shtatlarda suvning ifloslanishi. The Clean Air Act estimated the economic cost of air pollution to be $9 trillion between 1970 and 2000. These costs involve pollution-induced health effects and lost productivity. Additionally, global warming is predicted to inflict a variety of other costs, and with declining rainfalls and rising temperatures, global warming can increase the formation of ozone smog and worsen pollution.[68]

Erlarning ifloslanishi is principally caused by thoughtless or illegal disposal of wastewaters or solids containing pollutants. Dumping garbage, and littering on the ground, although unsightly, rarely cause much lasting damage unless the material contains non-degradable materials such as many plastics or is at risk of entering a watercourse and thus eventually reaching the sea.

Effektlar

Studies have proven there are several negative health outcomes associated with breathing polluted air.[69] Studies have found that some pollutants have damaging effects on humans, especially during pregnancy. More specifically, results from several epidemiological studies suggest that exposure of pregnant women to air pollution results in higher risks of low birth weight in term-born infants.[70] Studies done on humans exposed to pollutants, one of them being poliklorli bifenil, which causes decreased birth size, increased sexual development, and altered levels of hormones related to gland regulation.[71] Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution is associated with mortality from heart disease and stroke.[69] Affected populations can develop a higher risk for lung cancer by breathing polluted air. Many studies examine the effect of children's health. Some of the findings show that children's lung function growth is adversely affected by air pollution, high levels of air pollution is associated with increased amount of asthma cases or asthma exacerbations in children, and school absences from acute respiratory illnesses resulted following rises in ozone levels in student communities.[69] Additionally, numerous problems have been found by the CA Department of Health Services in classrooms at several hundred schools throughout California such as inadequate ventilation, poor thermal comfort, high formaldehyde levels, and toxic residues in floor dust.[69]

There are also economic repercussions from the effects of pollution in California. One study suggests the health-related impacts of air pollution in San Joaquin Valley drains the region's economy of $3 billion every year.[72] The study calculates the cost of pollution in Central Valley averages $1,000 per person per year, representing the costs of premature deaths, asthma attacks, acute bronchitis in children, school absences, lost work days, etc.[72]

Suvning ifloslanishi

Gold Rush davri

The Gold Rush of California left a long-lasting mark of ifloslanish in the River systems of Kaliforniya. Shimoliy Kaliforniya Oltin koni runoff largely contributes to the elevated levels of simob found in the river systems, such as, the Sakramento daryosi. The mining of mercury along coastal ranges and its use in processing gold in the Syerra Nevada area is the reason for increased levels of this heavy metal. As mercury travels down the California River system it gets deposited along the river and buried under or with other sediment. Due to the burying of this og'ir metall, increases in mercury in the actual river water can be seen during peak storm flow when the water is capable of holding more sediment due to its increased capacity and speed. The mercury gets unburied and reintroduced into the flow of the river water. One of the problems that arise from having mercury in the California river system is bio accumulation. As fish are exposed to mercury in the river system it begins to accumulate in their tissues. When another organism eats a contaminated fish, they ingest the mercury that was in the fish, which then accumulates in their tissues. This causes a risk to human health as fisherman or hunters catch these fish, or yirtqichlar of these fish, they run the risk of exposing themselves to high concentrations of mercury.

1900-yillarning boshlari

Before true water quality regulations began in the 1960s and 70's, California largely dumped their waste, such as, xom kanalizatsiya, into bodies of water legally. Billions of gallons of sewage, treatable waste water and storm drain water were dumped into California streams around the 1940s. It wasn't until around 1945 that the problem of water pollution in California began to be truly noticed. 13 suv quduqlari uchun ijobiy sinov fenolik waste in the Montebello District. The beginning attempts at water regulations began at this point, especially when it was realized that this quality of water was not an isolated incident rather it was common across the state.

Qo'rg'oshinli benzin

Dan foydalanish qo'rg'oshinli benzin up until 1992, when it was phased out, caused a large amount of Qo'rg'oshin to be introduced into the California Water systems. 90% of the lead emitted in California is from Leaded gasoline which is higher than the total global emissions from leaded gasoline. The reason it is greater in California is due to the high use of Cars in California. The amount of Lead in the water system is similar to Mercury in that its concentration in the water increases during peak flows. The Overall amount of Qo'rg'oshin recorded in the California suv tizimi has been declining over the past few decades.

Increased NH4

Kaliforniya chiqindi suvlarni tozalash inshootlari release large amounts of N (Nitrogen) shaklida NH4 (Ammoniy ). This has been shown to reduce naturally occurring spring and summer phytoplankton blooms. These creatures make up the primary source of food. With the lack of dependable Phytoplankton blooms a bottom-up effect occurs. Kamaytirilgan biologik xilma-xillik and overall number of turlari located in the water of California over time can be seen due to the large amounts of NH4. The main source of this NH4 can be traced to the Sacramento Regional Water Treatment Plant (SRWTP). SRWTP releases 90% of the NH4 seen in the San-Fransisko Estaryasi (SFE)

Water quality regulations started in the 1960s and 1970s with the passage of the California's Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act and the federal Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water Acts, which prevent discharges of pollution into water bodies and control the quality of water that comes out of the tap.[73] Pollution in water systems occurs when toxic substances enter water systems such as lakes, rivers, and oceans and cause degradation.

California is faced with several water pollution issues that are unique to the state. For example, it has suffered a severe drought for many years, and researchers claim this could be a major reason for the poor water quality observed in many parts of California today. The heat and low flows of water lead to stagnant, toxic bodies of water that are warm in temperature and low in oxygen. Along with an increase in salinity in the water, these complications pose a serious threat to the marine life.[74] However, the issue of water pollution in California is not limited to rivers and the ocean. Some counties are notorious for having toxic chemicals found in their water supply. Many counties use groundwater reserves as drinking water, which is often filled with toxins, such as nitrate. This problem is a particular hazard in the San Joaquin Valley, where 63% of California's nitrate-infested water supplies reside. Arsenic, uranium, and fluoride are also commonly found in Californian wells, posing a direct threat to public health.[75]One reporter even recalled a story in which he stopped on the side of the road to examine the foul-smelling pools of water that were steaming from the oil toxicity.[76] California is no stranger to having oil contaminate their water. In 2015, an oil spill occurred off the coast of Santa Barbara, sending 105,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean and killing thousands of animals and surrounding wildlife. However, this is minor in severity when compared to the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, in which an explosion caused 3 million gallons of oil to spill into the ocean. This was the largest oil spill in United States history for many years and gained national attention as images of dead animals washing ashore flooded the media. The coast is still recovering to this day.[77]

Ocean litter

The issue of ocean pollution does not only affect California's Pacific coast, it is an international issue. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration marine debris, there is no place on Earth that has been left untouched by the debris.[78] Marine debris is anything man-made that ends up in marine environments. Some of the most common items that end up as debris are plastics, abandoned vessels, and fishing gear. Of the marine debris, approximately 80% originates from land, the other percentage comes from sea disposal.[79] The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) commonly referred to as the ‘Ajoyib Tinch okeanidagi axlat uchun yamoq ’ is a result of the marine debris accumulating.[80]
While access to plastic has increased the amount of plastic in marine environments reciprocates. These plastic products in marine environments degrade slowly, remaining floating for an extended amount of time or sink to the bottom where they can remain for up to several decades. The threats posed by the plastic in the ocean and other bodies if water includes animals becoming entangled leading to drowning, ingestion which can lead to digestive and feeding issues.[81] The issue of ocean pollution affects marine wildlife, human health and California's tourist economy. The litter other than becoming an eyesore to California's beaches can also negatively affect coastal communities economy.[82]
