United Nations specified June 5, as World Environment day to save the nature and encourage awareness about the same.
The role of environment is so great in our life that it can affect our behaviour also. Life and environment are intact correlates. The term environment came from a French word "Environia" means to surround. We get air water, food, shelter from mother earth and live on planet earth. Today we will talk over the environmental issues such as Oxygen, planting of trees, pollution, climate change, cyclones and its naming and ozone layer preservation on the day of environment day.
Oxygen is the most plentiful element in the world, and it is colourless, odourless, and tasteless in free state. The air we breathe is about 21 percent oxygen in environment. Two thirds of human body is composed of oxygen. The discovery of oxygen has generally been distributed to 'Joseph Priestley' an English chemist. There is a yet a third man 'Scheele' who is credited for his involvement in the discovery of oxygen in 1771. Priestley published his findings first. Based on his thought Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, a French chemist used the Greek words oxy (acid) and gene (forming) to coin the French word oxygen - translated to oxygen in English sometime around 1779.
The importance of oxygen (medical oxygen) once grew more during the COVID-19 pandemic because of its close association with respiratory system. Medical oxygen is high purity oxygen that is used for medical treatments and is developed for use in the human body. The medical oxygen tanks are getting smaller since medical use of oxygen has been increased during Covid-19. COVID-19 clearly exposed a major weakness in our health systems.
Although, the study indicates that the pandemic situation significantly improved air quality across the world, due to movement restrictions.
Trees are vital. Humans and other animals rely on trees to produce oxygen that we can not breathe without oxygen, we would not be able to live. Cutting trees can result in loss of habitat for animal species, which can harm ecosystem. Legal and illegal deforestation is a huge issue worldwide and it affects everyone. We can put by trees from being cut down by using less paper.
Pollution is also consequential after effects of activities which upsets the biodiversity of the ecosystem. The deeds of human like household activities, factories, agriculture and transport are main sources of pollution to heating up the planet, mostly found in urban area. Pollution, even in little amount, impacts the ecological balance. The word pollution comes from the Latin 'pollure' that means contamination.
Cutting of trees may reduce rainfall. Climate change is the most serious issue facing our planet today. Caused by atmosphere disturbance, cyclones are usually accompanied by several weather conditions such as storms. The speed of wind during a windstorm typically exceeds 55 km per hour. Cyclones can be defined as spinning storms rotating around the low-pressure centre. The term 'cyclone' comes from the Greek word Cyclos which means a coiling shake. When the speed of a storm wind reaches or crosses 74 mph then it is a cyclone, hurricane, or typhoon. It may last for just a few minutes or they may last for hours and even several days. They can occur over land or water. Lightning is a major threat during a thunderstorm.
It often comes to mind why such cyclone has a name so, how are cyclones named and from where do such names originate. It is difficult to remember technical numbers and terms of cyclones for people. So, to make it easier for media reports to spread information about cyclones and to increase community preparedness in case of emergency, are given names. The new list, released in 2020, has total of 169 names of cyclones at present which will be used on rotational basis. That list is having 13 suggested names each from 13 countries. The names of cyclones are done by World Meteorological Organization/United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Adia and the Pacific (WMO/PTC).
The practice of name cyclones, began to identify the storms in warning messages. The cyclone has been given the name TauKtae (pronounced Taute) a Burmese name, by Myanmar, meaning 'gecko' a highly vocal lizard, in the local language. Cyclone 'Yaas' named by Oman, refers to a Jasmine like tree with a good fragrance. Government officials said, when the cyclonic storm 'Yaas' was approaching the state and causing widespread destruction, cumulatively more than 300 births were registered in the coastal state. Some families were rushing to name their new-borns after the hazardous storm 'Yaas', officials said. The next cyclonic storm in India is 'Gulaab' meaning a rose, had been named by Pakistan. Each name is designated for a given tropical zone. Planting trees also may prevent cyclone damage and can save the nature.
