noise, air and chemical pollution in sydney | biocity studio
DESCRIPTION
Noise, Air and Chemical Pollution is a serious issue in Sydney. Domestic and Commercial/ Motor Vehicles have the highest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. Pollution can led to serious health problems e.g. respiratory problems, decrease in lung and immune system functions and also has effects on our native flora and fauna.TRANSCRIPT

Plasma TV’s “generate up to three times the greenhouse gas created by running a conventional 76cm TV” (News.com.au, 2007).
Cars are still one of the major contributors to air, noise and light pollution. Even with the new ‘bio-fuel’ and diesel engines, this problem has not decreased. It is still a significant issue that designers MUST address.
Everyone has a responsibility to be environmentally friendly.

“Smog and particle pollution have significant health impacts. Studies have shown that they can cause increases in
mortality, hospital admissions, respiratory symptoms such as asthma and decreases in
lung and immune system function”
(Metro Strategy, 2005).
