Images from the NASA Earth Observatory show a stark drop in pollution in Wuhan, when comparing NO 2 levels in early 2019 (top) and early 2020 (bottom). [15] The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the environment, with changes in human activity leading to temporary changes in air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and water quality.
Plastic pollution is widely recognized as a critical global issue. It continues to overwhelm waste management systems, flooding plastic into our oceans, soil, air, and food chains, and raises ...
[21] [22] According to the World Health Organization, approximately 10 million new TB infections occur every year, and 1.5 million people die from it each year – making it the world's top infectious killer (before COVID-19 pandemic). [21] However, there is a lack of sources which describe major TB epidemics with definite time spans and death ...
Soon after the EPA's founding, the agency dispatched 100 photographers to capture America's environmental problems in a photo project called Documerica.
Air pollution is among the biggest health problems of modern industrial society and is responsible for more than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide (nearly 4.5 million premature deaths in 2019), according to The Lancet.
