Future Effects of Pollution

Garbage, chemicals, radiation, energy, noise, and unnatural light can affect soil, water, air, and earth resources in a more visible form than it is today. These effects become complicated over time, leading to natural change, industrial food supply, human health, and economy.

The most obvious influence of pollution is the environment. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane cause climate change, leading to sea level rise, drought, strong storm, rise in temperature, decrease in snowfall. We can change the earth irreversibly only by climate change. The impact of pollution on the environment is not only visual, but the influence of pollution follows the human food chain

Contamination affects food supply in various ways. Air pollution and acid rain are harmful to crops. Water supply problems due to a reduction in snowfall may reduce the yield of crops. Soil erosion caused by strong storms and droughts will reduce the amount of available agricultural land. As the growing population needs more food, the decline in food supply will have a negative impact on society.

Human health is affected in every way. The food we consume will be soaked in pollutants. Many pollutants can cause cancer and shorten the life expectancy. In some areas such as the western United States, the amount of water supplied decreases. Limited food supply calorie shortage can adversely affect health. In some cases, premature death may be caused by contamination

Worker productivity declines as ground ozone increases. As overall health conditions deteriorate, medical expenses will increase. This also means that economic output will lose opportunities. Overall efficiency reduction may inhibit society's ability to reduce pollution problems

The impact of climate change on air quality should be considered together with future changes in pollutant emissions. The latter is expected to change rapidly over the next few decades due to the choice of energy determined by economic and climate issues. Nakicenovic et al. Based on the work of the IPCC SRES, consistent forecasts on greenhouse gas emissions and pollutant emissions were made for various socioeconomic and policy scenarios. (2000), a comprehensive framework for developing emissions regulatory policies tackling climate and air quality objectives would be very valuable. Quantifying the impact of climate change on air quality should be an important part of this policy development.

With the rapid development and urbanization of Hong Kong, the quality of the air deteriorates due to the release of a large amount of air pollutants into the atmosphere, resulting in deterioration of greenhouse effect and global warming. This paper is divided into two parts, the first part briefly introduces the adverse effects of serious air pollution on sustainable development. The effects of air pollution can be discussed from a sustainable development perspective, which are interrelated, interdependent and balanced, and they are environmental, social and economic aspects. On the environmental front, deterioration of air quality deteriorates the greenhouse effect, raises the temperature and causes global warming.
