Good afternoon to each and every one we are now in Toxic chemicals, what is toxic

chemical? According to diamond on 2006 it is manufactured or release into the air, soil, oceans,
lakes, and rivers many toxic chemicals Among the culprits are “insecticides, pesticides, and
herbicides … mercury and other metals, fi re - retardant chemicals, refrigerator coolants,
detergents, and components of plastics” All of these have a variety of immediate, and more
usually long - term, negative effects on humans and other forms of life like the plants and animals.
One of the example is the issue of persistent organic pollutions or (POPs) which are highly toxic,
human - made chemical that adversely affect human health and the environmental around the
world. Because they can be transported by wind and water. In Stockholm, Sweden, in May 2001.
Under the treaty, known as the Stockholm convention, eliminate the production, use, or release
of 12 key pops (Aldrin, chlordane, dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethnane, dieldrin, endrin, hepatachlor,
hexahlorobenzene, mirex, toxaphene, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins (dioxins), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (furans) it called the “Dirty Dozen”.
These are the chemicals initially addressed by the Stockholm convention when negotiated. Since
that time, other chemicals have been added to the convention.

Now we will talk about The Greenhouse Gases and Global Warming I think these are
common terms to all of you. Because these are Human made or Human activities because
humans produced gases that have damaged atmosphere, maybe mainly burning of fossil fuels,
and clearing of forests, have strengthened the greenhouse effect and caused global warming.
And also they banned refrigerator coolants because it damaged the protective ozone that
absorbed sunlight and contributed to global warming. The global warming is a real phenomenon
with man - made causes, most notably the huge increase in greenhouse gases. The predominant
view is that global warming is already well - advanced and is moving ahead rapidly. According to
revkin that the most scientists was unimpressed by the recent cold weather and saw it as little
more than a brief respite from the continuing progress of global warming. For example, the melting
of Greenland’ s ice) are occurring so rapidly that geographers are re - thinking their sense of the
globe’ s geographic parameters. Because many of scientist who study the ice ablation in
Greenland consider that a two or three degrees’ Celsius temperature rise would result in a
complete melting of Greenland’s ice. The Greenland ice sheet is especially vulnerable to climate
change.

Rising seas, according to Struck 2007, this is a big factor degree which the seas will rise
as a result of global warming is the degree and rapidity with which the huge ice sheets that cover
Greenland, and also according to struck the arctic and Antarctica will melt. As we can see the
picture, you can see clearly the loss of ice both arctic and Antarctic because the scientist observed
a constant loss of sea ice because of the global warming. And also according to the scientist the
arctic and Antarctica will melt because of global warming and the air temperatures are climbing,
and so are waters temperatures. This makes the ice melt faster. And according to fahrenthold
2007 that every decade the temperature rising by 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit.

Global warming and health according to Brown Global warming is expected to adversely
affect health in a number of different ways, and it can be deadly because of the excessive heat,
like for example a heat wave in Europe in 2003 at least 35,000 people died as result of the record
heatwave that scorched Europe in august 2003. France suffered the worth losses, with 14,802
people dying from causes attributable to the blistering heat. And the water borne disease it is
increasing with higher temperatures and more torrential rains. It caused by drinking contaminated
or dirty water. for example, is cholera, as you can see the picture (be shown) that is cholera and
the disease which caused by insects and it may increase, although there is less certainty on this
than on the other health issues that discussed above.

Now the Population Growth, I think these is familiar to us, it is Significant population growth,
especially in the South (populations will remain stable or decline in much of the North), will
exacerbate the kinds of ecological problems discussed above and produce new ones. And The
latter also points to the looming increase in ecological problems traceable to the booming
populations and economies of India and especially the China (its 1.3 billion people give it a larger
population than the developed world). These are the which has the larger population in the world.

And the last one is The global flow of dangerous debris, it produces detritus that is
dangerous to all parts of the world, and it highly developed in Northern countries that produce a
disproportionate amount of such debris. And one of the roots of this problem is the fact those in
developed countries are discarding electronics of all sorts long before the equipment has
exhausted its useful life. and according moooallem that many of the older phones could be
recycled, but few people have any interest in doing what is necessary to recycle old phones.
