Future in Air Pollution

Air pollution has been a worldwide problem, which makes it important to know the possible consequences of uncontrolled pollution. If the air pollution is not handled as soon as possible, it will become a dangerous and hazardous risk of our life in near future. Here are some predictions made by renowned scientists an organisations -

Climate Shifting -
Climate shifts like heat waves could restrict the ability of people to work outdoor, and, in extreme cases, put their lives at risk. Under a 2050 climate scenario developed by NASA, continuing emission of the greenhouse gases at today’s rate could lead to additional global warming of about 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050. People will likely be forced to work indoors or to take frequent breaks to prevent heatstroke, while extreme hot weather could also lead to changes in the disease vectors which ultimately impact human health.

Degradation in Food System -
A changing climate is likely to both improve and degrade the performance of food systems. Some regions may become more productive under a warming climate, whilst others may see a significant drop in food production. A McKinsey study found that by 2050 while soy would benefit from higher temperatures, rice and wheat could become increasingly volatile. In another scenario analysis, it is estimated that by 2050, food production will be inadequate to feed the growing global population because of decline in crop yields. It is clear that the food production will be heavily impacted by climate change.

Global Warming -
Global warming is one of the serious concerns of all environmentalists. Global warming or the greenhouse effect is one of the reasons why the climate is warming up. As predicted by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate-Change, there will be an increase in the average temperature of 1 degree Celsius by 2025 and 3 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st Century.

Poison in Air -
If air pollution is not controlled, it predicted that by 2030 the air will become so poisonous that it will be necessary to use an oxygen kit to breathe easily. Human exposure to air toxins will increase to a great extent if air pollution is not controlled. The Environmental Protection Agency states that exposure to pollutants is directly linked to cancer and heart disease.

Hot Temperature -
Extreme hot weather could significantly lower the efficiency of the power systems around the world. According to McKinsey, up to 185,000 airline passengers per year may be grounded due to extreme heat (48 degrees Celsius), approximately 23 times more than today.
