                      Pollution of the Baltic Sea 
 
  I  have  chosen  to  write  my  science   report   about  pollution  of  the  Baltic  Sea. 
Nowadays  it is a big problem to people who  live  in the  marine  region.
 
In
  this
 
report,
 
I  
want to know the reason of this issue and how could we solve it. 
 
High  population   density ,  intensive  agricultural  production  and  other  human  activities  
have caused this high level pollution of the Baltic Sea. The shipment of
  crude
 
oil
 
has
 
 
grown  from 45 million tons to 175 million tons and this only by
 
10
 
years .
 
Its
 
condition
 
 
is  a  challenge  for  the  nine   coastal   states  and their populations -  there  are 90 million 
people living in this catchment area.  [1] 
The  sources  of marine pollution are municipal
 
and
 
industrial
 
waste
 
inputs
 
directly
 
into
 
 
the sea or  rivers , and atmospheric inputs mainly from  traffic  and farming. Originating 
from  cellulose  producing  and  from  paper   mills ,  large  amounts  of  poisonous 
chlorinated compounds are polluting the coastal
 
waters
 
of
   Sweden
 
and
 
Finland .
 
Most
 
 
of  this  material  is   still   present  in  sediments  of  the  central  Baltic  Sea  and  can  be 
terminated by near bottom currents.  [2] 
Unsustainable  factory  farming  made  the  Baltic  Sea one of the world’s most polluted 
seas.  A   really   bad   year   was  2010  –  unprecedented  potentially  toxic  algae  bloom 
covered almost 377,000
 
square
 
kilometers.
 
This
 
is
  an
 
area
 
larger
 
than
 
Germany .
 
This
 
 
affects marine ecosystems and can cause important disturbance to them.  [3] 
 
In  my opinion, people ​should stop all the  companies  that  spread  toxic pollutants into 
the Baltic Sea. We could help cleaning it by supporting companies like:

e.pdf 
I  believe  that  with  enough  resources,  the  Baltic  Sea  would  be  much  more  cleaner.  I 
really hope that someday it would be clean and nice again!

"Northern Europe’s seas. Norther Europe’s environment"

Summary The present summary is based on the book "Northern Europe’s seas. Norther Europe’s environment" by Britt Aniansson. Oceans and seas are polluted every day by different substances that reach the waters from different sources on land and at the sea. The author points out four main problems in the marine environment. One of the main problems is the chemical pollution which is caused by natural or man- made halogenated compounds, pesticides, dioxins, chlorinated organic materieals and so on. These compounds are causing deformage in marine animals and are storaged in their fatty tissues. They have also been found in organisms throughout the world oceans because they are dispersed quickly by winds and currents. Another problem that affects the marine life is excess phosphorus and nitrogen flow into

ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS

However, as our environment changes, so does the need to become increasingly aware of the problems that surround it. With a massive influx of natural disasters people need to be aware of what types of environmental problems our planet is facing. Current environmental problems make us vulnerable to disasters and tragedies, now and in the future. Unless we address the various issues seriously we are surely doomed for disaster. Current environmental problems require urgent attention. 1. Pollution: Pollution of air, water and soil require millions of years to recoup. Industry and motor vehicle exhaust are the number one pollutants. Heavy metals, nitrates and plastic are toxins responsible for pollution. While water pollution is caused by oil spill, acid rain, urban runoff; air pollution is caused by various gases and toxins released by industries and factories and burning of fossil fuels; soil pollution is majorly caused by industrial waste that deprives soil from essential nutrients.

European Union since 1995, Finland was the only Nordic state to join the euro system at its initiation in January 1999. In the 21st century, the key features of Finland's modern welfare state are a high standard of education, equality promotion, and national social security system currently challenged by an aging population and the fluctuations of an exportdriven economy (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012, ISSN 15538133). 2.1.2 Geography Location: Northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea, Gulf of Bothnia, and Gulf of Finland, between Sweden and Russia Area: total: 338,145 km2 land: 303,815 km2 and water: 34,330 km2 Coastline: 1250 km Climate: cold temperate; potentially subarctic but comparatively mild because of moderating inf luence of the North Atlantic Current, Baltic Sea, and more than 60,000 lakes Terrain: mostly low, f lat to rolling plains interspersed with lakes and low hills

Essay on water pollution, global warming, acid rain, deforestation, intensive farming

Water pollution Attention for water pollution exploded in the 1980s. The oil spill of the Exxon Valdez showed many around the world just how horrible the effects of water pollution could be. However, even the Exxon Valdez spill barely touched the surface of the problem of water pollution. The ship spilt only 5% of the oil spilt that year, and oil is just one of many pollutants that people dump into the water every year. Every year, 14 billions pounds of sewage, sludge, and garbage are dumped into the world's oceans. 19 trillion gallons of waste also enter the water annually. The problem of ocean pollution affects every nation around the world. This is especially true because water is able to transport pollution from one location to another.

Thoughts on Air Pollution Essay

Air pollution Every day, the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air. Air pollution includes all contaminants found in the atmosphere. These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles. Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time. The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air. Air pollution has been a problem throughout history. Even in Ancient Romepeople complained about smoke put into the atmosphere. The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous. Air pollution can have serious consequences

CLOSING KALARAND FOR PUBLIC

demand that Kalarand would be accessible even during the developing period. The developer of Kalasadam, Pro Kapital, is a leading Estonian real estate development company who operates in the capitals of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Since its establishment in 1994, it has completed 20 development projects and focuses mainly on the development of large-scale residential and commercial real estate projects in prime locations of the capitals of the Baltic States. In the second half of the 1990s, Pro Kapital aquired several unique properties in its portfolio, including two attractive coastal sites in Tallinn and Riga. One of these properties was Kalarand in Tallinn. Pro Kapital bought property next to the Kalarand seaside in 2001 and announced that they will make Kalarand into a residential and business district. From thereon there has been a heated debate between the locals and Pro Kapital over the developing plans.
