(一)全球气候变暖
由于人口的增加和人类生产活动的规模越来越大,向大气释放的二氧化碳(CO2)、甲烷(CH4)、一氧化二氮(N2O)、氯氟碳化合物(CFC)、四氯化碳(CCl4)、一氧化碳(CO)等温室气体不断增加,导致大气的组成发生变化。大气质量受到影响,气候有逐渐变暖的趋势。由于全球气候变暖,将会对全球产生各种不同的影响,较高的温度可使极地冰川融化,海平面每10年将升高6厘米,因而将使一些海岸地区被淹没。全球变暖也可能影响到降雨和大气环流的变化,使气候反常,易造成旱涝灾害,这些都可能导致生态系统发生变化和破坏,全球气候变化将对人类生活产生一系列重大影响。
(二)臭氧层的耗损与破坏
在离地球表面10~50千米的大气平流层中集中了地球上90%的臭氧气体,在离地面25千米处臭氧浓度最大,形成了厚度约为3毫米的臭氧集中层,称为臭氧层。它能吸收太阳的紫外线,以保护地球上的生命免遭过量紫外线的伤害,并将能量贮存在上层大气,起到调节气候的作用。但臭氧层是一个很脆弱的大气层,如果进入一些破坏臭氧的气体,它们就会和臭氧发生化学作用,臭氧层就会遭到破坏。臭氧层被破坏,将使地面受到紫外线辐射的强度增加,给地球上的生命带来很大的危害。研究表明,紫外线辐射能破坏生物蛋白质和基因物质脱氧核糖核酸,造成细胞死亡;使人类皮肤癌发病率增高;伤害眼睛,导致白内障而使眼睛失明;抑制植物如大豆、瓜类、蔬菜等的生长,并穿透10米深的水层,杀死浮游生物和微生物,从而危及水中生物的食物链和自由氧的来源,影响生态平衡和水体的自净能力。
(三)生物多样性减少
《生物多样性公约》指出,生物多样性“是指所有来源的形形色色的生物体,这些来源包括陆地、海洋和其他水生生态系统及其所构成的生态综合体;它包括物种内部、物种之间和生态系统的多样性。”在漫长的生物进化过程中会产生一些新的物种,同时,随着生态环境条件的变化,也会使一些物种消失。所以说,生物多样性是在不断变化的。近百年来,由于人口的急剧增加和人类对资源的不合理开发,加之环境污染等原因,地球上的各种生物及其生态系统受到了极大的冲击,生物多样性也受到了很大的损害。有关学者估计,世界上每年至少有5万种生物物种灭绝,平均每天灭绝的物种达140个,估计到21世纪初,全世界野生生物的损失可达其总数的15%~30%。在中国,由于人口增长和经济发展的压力,对生物资源的不合理利用和破坏,生物多样性所遭受的损失也非常严重,大约已有200个物种已经灭绝;估计约有5000种植物在近年内已处于濒危状态,这些约占中国高等植物总数的20%;大约还有398种脊椎动物也处在濒危状态,约占中国脊椎动物总数的7.7%左右。因此,保护和拯救生物多样性以及这些生物赖以生存的生活条件,同样是摆在我们面前的重要任务。
(四)酸雨蔓延
酸雨是指大气降水中酸碱度(PH值)低于5.6的雨、雪或其他形式的降水。这是大气污染的一种表现。酸雨对人类环境的影响是多方面的。酸雨降落到河流、湖泊中,会妨碍水中鱼、虾的成长,以致鱼虾减少或绝迹;酸雨还导致土壤酸化,破坏土壤的营养,使土壤贫瘠化,危害植物的生长,造成作物减产,危害森林的生长。此外,酸雨还腐蚀建筑材料,有关资料说明,近十几年来,酸雨地区的一些古迹特别是石刻、石雕或铜塑像的损坏超过以往百年以上,甚至千年以上。世界目前已有三大酸雨区。我国华南酸雨区是唯一尚未治理的。
(五)森林锐减
在今天的地球上,我们的绿色屏障——森林正以平均每年4000平方公里的速度消失。森林的减少使其涵养水源的功能受到破坏,造成了物种的减少和水土流失,对二氧化碳的吸收减少进而又加剧了温室效应。
(六)土地荒漠化
全球陆地面积占60%,其中沙漠和沙漠化面积29%。每年有600万公顷的土地变成沙漠。经济损失每年423亿美元。全球共有干旱、半干旱土地50亿公顷,其中33亿遭到荒漠化威胁。致使每年有600万公顷的农田、900万公顷的牧区失去生产力。人类文明的摇篮底格里斯河、幼发拉底河流域,已由沃土变成荒漠。中国的黄河流域,水土流失亦十分严重。
(七)大气污染
大气污染的主要因子为悬浮颗粒物、一氧化碳、臭氧、二氧化碳、氮氧化物、铅等。大气污染导致每年有30-70万人因烟尘污染提前死亡,2500万的儿童患慢性喉炎,400-700万的农村妇女儿童受害。
(八)水污染
水是我们日常最需要,也上接触最多的物质之一,然而就是水如今也成了危险品。
(九)海洋污染
人类活动使近海区的氮和磷增加50%-200%;过量营养物导致沿海藻类大量生长;波罗的海、北海、黑海、东中国海(东海)等出现赤潮。海洋污染导致赤潮频繁发生,破坏了红树林、珊瑚礁、海草,使近海鱼虾锐减,渔业损失惨重。
(十)危险性废物越境转移
危险性废物是指除放射性废物以外,具有化学活性或毒性、爆炸性、腐蚀性和其他对人类生存环境存在有害特性的废物。美国在资源保护与回收法中规定,所谓危险废物是指一种固体废物和几种固体的混合物,因其数量和浓度较高,可能造成或导致人类死亡,或引起严重的难以治愈疾病或致残的废物。
(one) global climate is heated
The scale that manufactures an activity as a result of the addition of population and mankind is larger and larger, the carbon dioxide that releases to atmosphere (CO2) , methane (CH4) , one oxidation 2 nitrogen (N2O) , compound of chloric fluorine carbon (CFC) , 4 chloridize carbon (CCl4) , carbon monoxide (CO) isothermal room gas increases ceaselessly, bring about atmospheric composition to produce change. Air mass is affected, climate has the tendency that chases gradual change to warm. Because global climate is heated, will produce all sorts of distinct effects to the whole world, higher temperature can make polar glacier melts, sea level will lift 10 every years 6 centimeters, will make area of a few coasts is flooded consequently. The whole world is calefacient the change that affects rainfall and big compression ring possibly also to flow, make climate abnormal, easy cause drought damage caused by waterlogging to kill, these bring about ecosystem possibly to happen to change and be destroyed, global climate change will produce a series of major effects to human life.
(2) the consume of ozonosphere and destroy
The ozone gas of on the earth 90% was centered in the atmosphere advection layer that leaves kilometre of earthly surface 10~50, in from the ground 25 kilometre are in ozone concentration the biggest, the ozone that formed ply to be 3 millimeter about centers a layer, call ozonosphere. It can absorb the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, spare in order to protect tellurian life the harm of excessive ultraviolet ray, put energy store in superstratum air, rise to move the action of section climate. But ozonosphere is a very flimsy aerosphere, if enter a few destroy ozonic gas, they produce chemistry with respect to meeting and ozone, ozonosphere can be destroyed. Ozonosphere is destroyed, will make the ground is increased by ultraviolet radiant intensity, bring very great harm to tellurian life. Consider to make clear, ultraviolet radiant energy destroys biology protein and ribonucleic acid of gene material to oxigenate, cause cellular death; Make heighten of incidence of a disease of human skin cancer; Harm an eye, bring about cataract and make eye blindness; Restrain a plant to be like soja, melon kind, vegetable the growth that wait, penetrable 10 meters of deep water layers, kill plankton and microbial, endanger the origin of food chain of the biologic in water and free oxygen thereby, affect the self-purification ability of ecological balance and water system.
(3) biology diversity decreases
" biology diversity convention " point out, biology diversity " it is the mixed organism that points to all origin, these origin include terrestrial, ocean and other and aquatic ecosystem and the zoology synthesis that its form; It includes species mix between in-house, species the diversity of ecosystem. " in long biology evolution the meeting in the process produces a few new species, in the meantime, as the change of zoology ambient conditions, also can make a few species disappear. Say so, biology diversity is changing ceaselessly. Nearly hundred years come, because increase quickly of population to be opposite with the mankind,the disagreement sleave of resource is sent, the reason such as pollution of together with environment, tellurian all sorts of biology and its ecosystem got huge is pounded, biology diversity also got very big harm. About scholastic estimation, on the world every year at least species of 50 thousand kinds of biology is eradicated, the species that eradicates on average everyday amounts to 140, estimation arrives at the beginning of 21 centuries, feral biologic loss can amount to the whole world the 15%~30% of its gross. Be in China, because population increases the pressure that develops with economy, unreasonable to what give birth to source of goods and materials use and destroy, the loss that biology diversity suffers is very severe also, about already 200 species had been eradicated; Estimation has 5000 kinds of plants to be in about in recent years inside already was in endangered condition, 20% what these hold sum total of Chinese advanced plant about; About still 398 kinds of vertebrate also lie endangered condition, hold Chinese vertebrate sum total about 7.7% the left and right sides. Accordingly, protection and diversity of save lifesaving content and the living conditions that Lai Yisheng puts these live thing, it is the main task that is placed before us likewise.
(4) acid rain spreads
Acid rain is the acid-base value in pointing to atmosphere precipitation (PH is worth) the precipitation under the rain of 5.6, snow or other form. This is a kind of expression of air pollution. Acid rain is many sided to the influence of human environment. Acid rain descends river, laky in, of the fish in can cloggy water, shrimp grow, shrimp of fish of as a result decreases or disappeared; Acid rain still brings about edaphic acidification, destroy edaphic nutrition, make soil barren change, harm floral grows, cause crop reduction in production, endanger silvan growth. In addition, acid rain still corrodes housing materials, concerned data explains, come nearly ten years, a few historic site of acid rain area especially the attaint of carved stone, stone carving or cupreous statue exceeds before hundred years above, even chiliad above. The world already had area of 3 big acid rain at present. Area of the acid rain austral our country China is exclusive have not administer.
(5) silvan acute is decreased
On today's earth, our green protective screen -- forest with average and annual the speed of 4000 square kilometer disappears. Of the forest decrease make the function of its self-restraint fountainhead is destroyed, caused species decrease and soil erosion, decrease to the absorption of carbon dioxide then aggravate greenhouse effect.
(6) land desert is changed
Global land area is occupied 60% , among them desert and desert turn an area 29% . The land that has 6 million hectare every year becomes desert. Pecuniary loss is annual 42.3 billion dollar. The whole world shares arid, half arid land 5 billion hectare, among them 3.3 billion change menace by desert. A pasturing area that causes the cultivated land that has 6 million hectare every year, 9 million hectare loses productivity. Catchment of the cradle Tigris of human civilization, Euphrates, already became desert by fertile soil. Chinese the Huanghe valley, soil erosion also very serious.
(7) air pollution
The main factor of air pollution is oxide of suspension grain content, carbon monoxide, ozone, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, lead to wait. Air pollution is brought about because soot pollution dies ahead of schedule,have 10 thousand people of 30-70 every year, the children of 25 million suffers from a clergyman's sore throat, 400-700 the fall victim of rural woman children of 10 thousand.
(8) water pollution
Water is we need most daily, also go up one of material with most contact, it is water also became danger to taste nowadays however.
(9) marine pollution
Human activity makes the nitrogen of coastal waters area and phosphor increase 50%-200% ; Excessive nurture brings about coastal alga to grow in great quantities; Baltic, the North sea, the Black Sea, east Chinese sea (the East China Sea) wait for occurrence bare tide. Marine pollution brings about bare tide to happen often, destroyed mangrove, cay, seaweed, make acute of shrimp of coastal waters fish is decreased, fishery is disastrous.
(10) move of cross the boundary illegally of dangerous sex trash
Dangerous sex trash is to point to remove radioactivity waste material beyond, have chemical active or noxiousness, volatile, caustic and other live to the mankind the trash with environmental harmful and characteristic existence. The United States sets in resource protection and absorption method, alleged and dangerous trash is the mixture that points to trash of a kind of solid and a few kinds of solid, because its amount and concentration are higher, the likelihood is caused or cause human death, or cause the serious trash that cure a disease hard or causes damage.
