Applying science and healthcare principles to soil wellness can help our planet Poornima Param… Thu, 08/27/2020 – 01:00 Basic human health principles tell us that we should diagnose before we treat and that we should test before we diagnose. These same principles of human healthcare, and these same scientific and technological advances, are starting to be applied to soil — our most important asset for securing our food supply. MORE

Applying science and healthcare principles to soil wellness can help our planet. These same principles of human healthcare, and these same scientific and technological advances, are starting to be applied to soil — our most important asset for securing our food supply. Soil at the center . Soil is one of the most important natural resources we have, yet we’ve degraded over a third of the soil used to grow food, feed, fiber and fuel with intensive farming practices.

We are burning less coal and this has reduced acid rain and by eliminating CFCs we are helping the ozone hole to recover. Part of the process involves realizing that we have the right to demand clean air, water and soil, just as it is our right to demand a livable future. On the 50th anniversary of Earth Day we are called to to rise above our concerns and strive for a better world. MORE

After Toledo’s water crisis, Ohio went further, passing a law that prohibits farms in the western Lake Erie region from applying fertilizer on frozen or rain-saturated soil. An analysis by Public Integrity and its partners of Ohio Department of Agriculture permits for those farms found widespread application of manure to land that the farms’ own soil tests show already had more than enough phosphorus for key crops.

Soil quality and quantity are maintained. Besides conserving the forest, its wildlife , soil and landscape, trees are imperative for the maintenance of local water resources. The additional benefits from woodlands include providing the natural environs for people to decompress for restorative wellness and absorbing pollutants (ammonia, nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide) to clean the air.

These affect natural habitats, produces acid rain and destroys the ozone layer because of global warming. Moreover, poor methods of managing waste lead to an increase in soil and water contamination and air pollution. These gases weaken our ozone layer and cause a lot of pollution and climatic changes. The environment is an important factor in sustaining flora and fauna. The health of human beings depends on the state of the environment as well. MORE

There are so many types of pollutions like water, air, soil, noise, etc. Due to air pollution the ozone layer gets depleted and that was nothing but an indication of increasing global warming. The above image shows how much pollution level was in 2019 and hence ozone layer was disappeared. The ozone layer is recovering it indicates the pollution level is reduced and hence it shows that the global warming is also reduced slowly. MORE

Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollution, namely, air, water, soil, noise and light. This gas has slowly damaged the atmosphere and depleted the ozone layer leading to global warming. The 7th International Conference on Pollution Control & Sustainable Environment will take place on March 02-03, 2020 in Rome, Italy. The theme is Accelerating Innovations for Environmental Sustainability. MORE
