PLANTING TREES COULD REDUCE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

Fifty Cities (Sumatra), BAKINNews --- Preservation of forest resources today has become a global issue of mankind throughout the world believe, that the forest hasn't only socio-economic and social-cultural, but also a role ecological functions vital to life support systems, it was delivered Regent Fifty Cities dr. Marajo eyebrows at the launching of tree planting by the Expedition Team I Bukit Barisan Military Command in 2011, in Nagari Tungka Taeh bukik Sub District Payakumbuh Fifty Cities. 

Further he says, one of the efforts of mankind in reducing the effects of global warming and climate change is to multiply the trees and plants.Therefore, efforts are needed to maintain the integrity of forest ecosystems, and planting trees secar massive. In a short time ago, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that if the population of Indonesia at this time amounted to 230 million people and every resident to plant one tree only, then every year the nation of Indonesia has planted 230 million trees, this is a contribution to the nation of Indonesia in improve the quality of the environment, as well as efforts to tackle global warming. 

As we all know that planting trees is essentially an activity or action of planting and maintaining trees, but in these activities also contained a moral movement, which called on all parties to change the mindset (mind set) from the habit of cutting down trees to plant and maintain trees love.

If the love of us in the planting of trees means it can be re-greening of areas that can not be used as farm land or barren hills, one area that we know Taeh bukik with many attractions to put one of them places glide implementation.And Dim 0306 Fifty Cities represented by Chaldean Major Inf. Forward Tampu Bolon, reports, tree planting activity carried out is in order to conduct social activities for the Expedition Team I Bikit Barisan military commander, in an effort to re-greening of barren areas.

The goal we are doing this tree planting is to plant and cultivate the culture of love planted in the young generation and all walks of life and invites all parties to jointly care for the environment. Movement to plant trees along the roads and hills made in Taeh bukik District Payakumbuh by Regent Fifty Cities dr. Eyebrows Marajo, Chaldean 0306 Fifty Major Cities Inf.Forward Tampu Bolon and Expedition Team Leader Lt. Inf. Arda K and members of the military, society and the younger generation Taeh bukik village, with its insert from between the trees to trees that have been thriving alongside a road and the hills towards bukik Lontiak, seedlings were planted mahogany seedlings, suryan and tamarind.

AS A RESULT OF GLOBAL WARMING IS SHRINKING THE SPECIES

Global warming is causing a lot of the smaller species on Earth. The experts found 38 of 85 species of animals and plants are shrinking in size in recent decades, including the Scottishsheep are five percent less than in 1985.

The smaller species of plants including cotton,corn, strawberries, shellfish, shrimp, trout,Atlantic salmon, herring fish, frogs, iguanas,squirrels California, lynx and wood rats.  Two years ago, Scottish researchers have alsorevealed the presence of the smaller species of sheep. Several other studies also found thatpolar bears are also unable to grow big again.Recent research shows the body weight of one-seventh sparrow fell from 1950 to 1990. WhileGraceful Prinia bird weighs 26 percent less inthe same period.

Jennifer Sheridan, biology researchers at the University of Alabama, said most of the cold-blooded animals. Jennifer said, the warmtemperatures make their metabolic processes become faster and requires a lot of calories.

But Yoram Yom-Tov, an animal expert at the University of Tel Aviv, said that global warming is not the only cause of the smaller species. According to him, changes in body size is anormal phenomenon. Yoram sure most species can adapt to climate change and able to survive.

GLACIERS MELTING FASTER

VIENNA (AP) - Scientists claim to have been melting glaciers around the world 100 times faster in the next 350 years. The danger, it affects millions of people who depend on freshwater. The claim was based on studies in Patagona, South America with 270 Patagonian glaciers is equivalent to 1700 times the quantity of water in Lake Windermere. The study, conducted Professor Neil Glasser of Aberystwyth University to analyze the amount of rocks left by glaciers that have disappeared. 

Since the Ice Age ended in Patagonia in the mid 17th century, the region has lost 145 cubic ice.This caused an increase in temperature at 1.4 degrees Celsius in the region. According to a report in the journal Nature Geoscience.

"The glacier has been significantly reduced over the past 30 years. It exceeded our expectations, "said Professor Glasser. 

"It's very scary," he said again.

He who conducted the study along with scientists from the University of Exeter and Stockholm University said the glacier region of South America, just as the glaciers in the Alps or the Earth's northern region, experienced a drastic reduction of the glacier. 

"It's murder for the Himalayas. In the short term are beneficial because they get more fresh water during the dry season. But, in the long run, this is a big problem, "said Professor Glasser again. 

Not just stop there, is reported in the Arctic ozone layer is also more severe in winter, due to cold weather in the upper atmosphere. 

At the end of March, 40 percent in the stratospheric ozone layer has been damaged, up from the damage is still around 30 percent.Similarly, as reported by BBC News.

The ozone layer protects humans from skin cancer, but the gas layer is damaged by the chemical industry pollution. The damage is the reaction of cold conditions in the stratosphere due to the chemical industry pollution. 

Several chemicals already banned its use through treaties of the United Nations Montreal Protocol, but the presence of such substances in the atmosphere will last a long time until many decades.

Although the temperature cools the stratosphere is an annual event in the south polar region, but the picture of the north pole is still not predictable.

In winter, when the north polar region is usually warm in its ground, the temperature of 15-20 km above the Earth's surface even inversely.

"The level of damage to the ozone layer in the winter depending on meteorological conditions," said Michel Jarraud, Secretary General of the World Meteorogical Organization (WMO).

"Damage to the ozone layer in 2011 shows that we must be alert and open eyes on the situation in the north pole in the near future," added Jarraud. 

Damage to the ozone layer ultraviolet-B to make the dangerous from the sun can enter the atmosphere. This can cause skin cancer, cataracts, damage to the immune system. 

WMO has warned residents to be alert to this world.

Montreal Protocol treaty agreed in 1987, has banned the use of substances Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that was widely used for refrigerators.

5 Wonders of Nature in the World Are Missing

Global warming is the most serious problem facing the world today. As a result, some experts predict will come up the worst impacts of global warming. Among them will be destroyed or the loss of the area that has a characteristic, such as iceberg or other natural wonders. Following data summarizes five the place natural wonders will be lost if global warming continues.  

 

1. Everglades

 

This national park is located in Florida with an area of ​​approximately 2.5 million acres, includingwetlands, cypress ponds, mangroves and pinemeadow. What's interesting about this place is the alligators and crocodiles share their respective areas and have become the center of attention. But now a place of natural wonders that are considered in danger, pollution originating from farms, invasive species, plus the fact that 60% of water in this region shifted to the cities because of global warming, resulting in at least 20 other species on the endangered.

 

 

 

 

2. Maldives

Why are the islands of the Maldives in danger if global warming continues? Because global warming will cause ice to melt and sea levels rose. The number of small islands  in the region reached 1190, 200 of who them inhabit. The islands in this region is just 2.5 meters above sea level that if sea levels rise, threatening danger disappeared. Very beautiful island in the Maldives in the Indian Ocean region. Rich in coral and fish species, sharks and leopard. But unfortunately now in danger due to global warming. 

3. Ranthambore National Park (Rajasthan State of India)   
        

Like a tiger? Ranthambore National Park is the perfect place to see tigers. The bad news is diminishing the wild tiger population is now living alone 3200. More than half tiger wild live in India, including Ranthambore. Increasing threat due to global warming which makes the place even more uncomfortable to live tiger. If not rescue the extreme weather, this tiger could become extinct in our view. 

4. Tropical forests Tahuaman

Regarded as a miracle of nature as inhabited by rare species of animals, such as the Macaw parrots, jaguars, Ocelots and giant beavers. Forest area in Peru is also riched Mahogany Tree. But illegal logging of mahogany make 80% here lost and helping the global warming that threatens the survival of forests and rare species.

5. Yangtze riverExotic animals such as sheep dwarf or giant pandas can be found in this area. But unfortunately the Yangtze River is now in danger of losing species of aquatic life and animals in particular because of global warming is increasingly becoming. Even global warming has resulted in deforestation, pollution and land slides that greatly affect the region.

STOP GLOBAL WARMING

Global Warming or Global Warming is a process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth's land.

Global average temperature on Earth's surface has risen 0.74 ° C ± 0:18 (1:33 ± 0:32 ° F) during the last hundred years. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that, "most of the increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century most likely caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activities" through the greenhouse effect. These basic conclusions have been raised by at least 30 scientific and academic bodies, including all the national science academies of the G8 countries.However, there are still some scientists who disagree with some of the conclusions of the IPCC noted.

Rising global temperatures are expected to lead to other changes such as rising sea levels, increased intensity of extreme weather phenomena, as well as changes in the number and pattern of precipitation. Consequences of global warming is another affected agricultural output, the loss of glaciers, and the extinction of various animal species.

Some of the things that scientists are still doubtful about the amount of warming predicted to occur in the future, and how warming and the changes that occur will vary from one region to another. Until now the debate is still happening in world politics and the public about what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse further warming or to adapt to the consequences that exist. Most of the governments of the world have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol, which leads to reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases. 

The impact of global warming  

 

Scientists use computer models of temperature, precipitation patterns and atmospheric circulation to study global warming. Based on these models, scientists have made some forecasts about the impact of global warming on the weather, sea levels, coastal, agricultural, wildlife and human health.

1. Starting Unstable Climate

Scientists predict that during global warming, the area north of the Northern Hemisphere (Northern Hemisphere) would heat up more than other regions on Earth. As a result, mountains of ice will melt and the land will shrink. Will be less ice will float on northern oceans. The regions that previously experienced mild snow, probably will not experience it again. In the mountains in temperate regions, snow-covered part will be less and will melt faster. Planting season will be longer in some areas. Temperatures in winter and at night would tend to increase.

2. Increased sea surface

Changes in the average height of sea level measured from the area with a stable geological environment. As the atmosphere warms, the surface layer of the oceans will also warm, so the volume will expand and raise the sea level.Warming will also melt more ice at the poles, especially around Greenland, which further increase the volume of water in the sea. Sea levels around the world has risen 10-25 cm (4-10 inches) during the 20th century, and IPCC scientists predict a further rise 9-88 cm (4-35 inches) in the 21st century.

3. Global temperatures are likely to increase

 Increasing the temperature of the earth's surface will result in a very extreme climate changes on earth. This can lead to disruption of forests and other ecosystems, thereby reducing its ability to absorb carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Global warming resulting in melting of icebergs in the polar regions that could lead to rising sea levels.

4. Ecological disturbance

Animals and plants are living things that are difficult to avoid the effects of warming because most of the land has been controlled by humans.In global warming, animals tend to migrate towards the poles and up mountains. Plants will change the direction of growth, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. However, human development will prevent this migration.Species that migrate north or south hindered by the cities or agricultural lands may be dead.Some types of species that are not able to rapidly move toward the poles, may disappear.

FOREST DAMAGE DUE TO GLOBAL WARMING

Towards the convening of the Conference of Parties to the 13th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 3-14 December 2007 in Denpasar, Bali, campaign news forest destruction continues to increase. Destruction of forests is claimed as a major cause of global warming. Always preached forest and peat fires that involved increasing sea levels due to rising temperatures and melting ice in Green-land and Antarctica.
There are not fair in this case. The ability of natural forests to absorb carbon content in the air and control the temperature rise or the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is hardly highlighted. The role of actual forest relied on to neutralize the carbon emissions from industrialized countries as if hidden.
What emerged precisely the attitude that developed countries continue to blame the developing countries, particularly Indonesia, because it is considered negligent preserving their forests. Even the pressures and constraints in the export of forest products is also associated with increased global warming is that in fact the majority are made by their own.
When examined, the main cause of saturation of carbon emissions it turns out there were four. One, which accounted for 42 percent of electricity; two, transportation accounted for 24 percent; three, the industry accounted for 20 percent, and the remaining four, population and the use of commercial goods accounted for 14 percent of global emissions. Forests are damaged though not the primary cause of carbon emissions.

Indonesia forest destruction

The problem is, most of the world's forests is now judged to have broken. Although developed countries in Europe and the United States as the world's largest instead of carbon has long lost its forest, the world's eyes focused only on developing country forests to absorb carbon is used as a pedestal emissions of developed countries. Deforestation in developing countries, including Indonesia, were forced to take account of the increasing global warming.

It must be admitted that Indonesia indeed had suffered considerable deforestation. An area of ​​300,000 hectares of deforestation occurred per year (1970s), increased to 600,000 hectares per year (1981), and became a million hectares per year in 1990. Data national deforestation in 1985-1997, not including Papua, an area recorded an average of 1.6 million hectares per year. 

From the observation of 2000 Landsat imagery known that deforestation period 1997-2000 at an average of 2.83 million hectares per year for five major islands, including Maluku and Papua.Based on recent data, deforestation in 2001-2003 fell to below 1.5 million hectares per year.  

The development of forest cover, especially in Java, both in the state forest and the people who performed on the premises, it was exhilarating.Forest area of ​​2.426 million hectares of the Java-Madura which are authorized to Perhutanioffice, between 2000 and 2003, increased area of ​​forest cover.  

In the forest area increased by 2.2 per cent forest cover or area of ​​69,520 hectares. The increase was of them in the protected forest area increased 0.5 percent and 1.6 percent of forest production. At the community land forested land area increased by 3.2 percent, or an area of ​​328,806 hectares. This shows the development of community forests quite rapidly during this period.  

Green Perhutani Proclamation 2010 by Perhutanioffice any major impact. With just do not cut more than 6,000 acres, Perhutanioffice planted about 121,000 hectares in 2006 and in 2007 will be the planting area of ​​201,500 hectares. Before the year 2010, the Java-managed forests Perhutanioffice vacant land will be free.  

Unfortunately, up to March 2005 major industrial countries the United States had not even willing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, followed by Australia, Turkey, and Monaco. So although it is still difficult to expect, at least in the recent APEC meeting is the United States and Australia have moved to contribute "little money" to help rescue Indonesia's forests.

 

The COP 13 in Bali

 Awareness of the need for collaboration of the world face increasing carbon emissions embodied in the Conference of Parties to the 13th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP-13 to UNFCCC) December 3-14, 2007 in Denpasar, Bali.Indonesia will show improvement efforts that have been conducted on forest land in Banyuwangi Perhutanioffice. In various ways to the event to be held in ten thousand participants from 189 countries are valid if Indonesia and developing countries also requires developed countries to relax the focus of the pressure that had been conducted on forest exploitation activities.

Developed countries should better understand the potential damage to itself as a major contributor to global climate, and increase its support for reforestation and land development.Damage to forests should not be burdened with the threat of further delays in the export trade in forest products that will result in the decline in economic capacity of developing countries to improve their forest.

WITHOUT MEAT CONSUMPTION PATTERNS, MUCH MORE FRIENDLY

Read the facts, one thing is worth underscoring is an increasingly narrow deadlines. Dr.Rajendra K. Pachauri, IPCC Chairman, stressed that the next two years the deadline is important to inhibit the rate of global warming is moving very quickly. James Hansen, NASA climate expert, said that we have been at a point ten percent above the threshold limit of the Earth's ability to digest CO2. That is, we have exceeded the turning point. At current levels, actions to be taken no longer reduced, but stopped.

We need speed and accuracy of reading matter to be able to choose an effective solution.Solution capable of racing against time to slow global warming. In this regard, in his press conference in Paris, January 15, 2008, Pachauri urged the world community in the individual level to: first, do not eat meat. Second, ride a bike.Third, be a frugal shopper. And discussed here is do not eat meat, no meat consumption patterns.
Why "do not eat meat" was ranked first? The facts speak, like a report released the World Food â € "FAO (2006) in Livestock's Long Shadow â €" Environmental Issues and Options, meat is a commodity producer of carbon emissions the most intense 18%), exceeding even the contribution of carbon emissions combination all motor vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, planes, ships, trains, helicopters) in the world (13%). Livestmock also is a major driver of deforestation. An estimated 70% percent of former forests in the Amazon has been converted into grazing-functioned. Each year, the clearing of forests for farm land clearing contributed 2.4 billion tons of CO2 emissions. 

Raising animals requires electrical energy to the lights and ancillary equipment farms, ranging from heating, cutting machines, refrigerators for the storage of meat. A refrigerator is the most inefficient chain of electrical energy. Just count the engine coolant from slaughterhouses, distributors, retailers, restaurants, markets up to the consumer. The next chain inefficiency is a means of transportation for transporting livestock, fodder, until other supporting elements in intensive animal husbandry such as drugs, hormones and vitamins.

April 30, 2008, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono invited the whole nation to be with each side facing the world food crisis. The root problem of food shortages if the observed one of them is the crisis management of the land itself.Mathematically, the inefficiency of agricultural land use for livestock feed is reflected in the calculation of calories "wasted" enough to raise cattle. Food that has been given to livestock to meet the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people!Means there is still excess calories for 2.1 billion people. Actually it is not hard to understand the urgency of these dietary changes, to changes to the diet of short chain eyes. The human stomach can directly digest soybeans, corn and wheat without having to go through the stomach of cattle first. Do not switch to a meat-free diet can actually be a solution to unequal access to food around the world?

Objectivity will lead us to recognize patterns of consumption of meat as the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Our choice is not much, given such a narrow deadlines. Quoting Queensland Senator Andrew Bartlett, that the whole world does not have to be a vegetarian or vegan to save our planet, but we must acknowledge these scientific facts, that if we do not reduce the consumption of animal products, our chance to stop climate change is nil. According to Bartlett, there is no step that is cheaper, easier and faster to do that can reduce each individual's contribution to emissions of greenhouse gases in addition to cutting the amount of consumption of meat and milk and other dairy products.

Changing eating habits is also dealing with that has been entrenched. However, holding a spoon and finally dropped the choice of what to put into our mouths, entirely within our control. Directly can be done! The distance between plate and mouth we might just long spoon, turn the contents of the spoon only takes the blink of an eye, but his control is on each of our mindset. For a moment, let it cool head is present. Let's clear-eyed view of reality, acknowledging the fact how much the pressure pattern of consumption of meat so great on the Earth's carrying capacity.For a moment felt the heavy burden of this Earth will probably be our choice to shift consumption patterns without meat, a pattern that is much more Earth friendly.

HOW REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE

Dioxide in the air is to maintain trees and plant more trees.Trees, especially young and fast growing, absorb very much carbon dioxide, break through photosynthesis and store carbon in wood. Around the world, the rate of forest encroachment has reached alarming levels. In many areas, little plants that grow back once because the soil loses its fertility when converted to other purposes, such as for agriculture or housing development. Steps to overcome this is to reforestation that play a role in reducing the increasing greenhouse gases.

Carbon dioxide gas also can be removed directly. How to inject (injects) the gas into oil wells to push the oil out to the surface (see Enhanced Oil Recovery). Injection can also be done to isolate it in underground gas as in oil wells, coal seams or aquifers. This has been done in one of Norway's offshore drilling plat forms, where carbon dioxide is brought to the surface with natural gas captured and injected back into the aquifer so it can not go back to the surface.

One source of supply of carbon dioxide is the burning of fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels began to increase rapidly since the industrial revolution in the 18th century. At that time, coal became the dominant source of energy for later replaced by oil in the mid-19th century. In the 20th century, began regular gas energy used worldwide as an energy source. Changes in trend in the use of fossil fuels is actually indirectly have reduced the amount of carbon dioxide released into the air, because the gas releases less carbon dioxide compared to oil especially when compared with coal. However, the use of renewable energy and nuclear energy further reduces the release of carbon dioxide into the air. Nuclear energy, although controversial for reasons of safety and hazardous wastes, but does not release carbon dioxide at all.

DAMAGE TO OZONE LAYER

Condition of the Arctic ozone layer is getting worse this winter. Presumably this condition is caused by cold weather in the upper atmosphere. At the end of March, 40% stratospheric ozone layer is damaged. This increased level of damage before that only approximately 30%. The damage is the reaction of the stratosphere due to cooler conditions for the chemical industry pollution. Damage to the ozone layer in 2011 showed, people should be vigilant and aware of the situation for some time north pole to the ozone layer some future time. Damage to create harmful ultraviolet-B can be entered through the atmosphere. Rays that causes skin cancer, cataracts, and immune system damage. WMO warned residents to beware.

 Danger of Destruction of Ozone layer

Ozone layer is a layer in the atmosphere at an altitude of 19-48 km (12-30 miles) above Earth's surface that contain molecules of ozone. The concentration of ozone in this layer reaches 10 ppm and are formed due to the influence of ultraviolet sun rays on oxygen molecules. These events have occurred since the millions of years ago, but a mixture of nitrogen molecules that appear to maintain the concentration of ozone in the atmosphere is relatively stable.

Ozone is a toxic gas so that when positioned near the soil surface would be dangerous if inhaled and can damage the lungs. In contrast, the ozone layer in the atmosphere protects life on Earth because it protects it from ultraviolet radiation that can cause cancer. Therefore, scientists are very worried when they found that chemicals chloro fluoro carbon (CFC) which is used as cooling medium and the driving gas aerosol spray, giving threat to this layer. When released into the atmosphere, these chlorine-containing substances are broken down by sunlight which causes the chlorine can react and destroy ozone molecules. Every single CFC molecule can destroy 100,000 ozone molecules. Therefore, the use of CFCs in aerosols was banned in the United States and other countries in the world. Other chemicals like bromine halokarbon, and also nitrogen oxides from fertilizers, can also attack the ozone layer.

Depletion of the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is estimated to be the cause of increased skin cancer and cataracts in humans, damage to certain crops, affect plankton which will result in the marine food chain, and increased carbon dioxide (see global warming) due to reduced plant and plankton. Conversely, too much ozone in the lower atmosphere helps the occurrence of smog, is associated with respiratory tract irritation and respiratory diseases for those who suffer from acute cardiopulmonary problems.

In the early 1980s, researchers working in Antarctica periodically detect the loss of ozone over the continent. The situation called ozone hole (an area of ​​thin ozone in the ozone layer) is, formed during the Antarctic spring and continues for several months prior to thicken again. Studies performed with a balloon at high altitude and weather satellites show that the overall percentage of ozone in the Antarctic is actually declining. The flights are carried out to examine it also gives the same results.

BIKE TO WORK

Have you ever do regular exercise every day? Exercise is very important for health. Many ways to exercise, example jogging every morning before the move or you can also bike. Bike it is a sport that is very efficient, you can do it anytime. Bersepeda is also a current trend. Cycling can be done at any time, for example, when going to work every day when we use the bike is tantamount to exercising every day and our bodies become strong and healthy. Biking to work can pose its own benefits, such as to reduce pollution, reduce congestion and give health to our bodies. Cycling can reduce pollution, pollution in our country is now getting worse, because too many vehicles that emit smoke bike. Did you know? familiarize you with the bike then we have reduced the impact of existing pollution. More and more people are cycling the air we breathe will be better than before. Cycling can reduce congestion, bottlenecks may have become a tradition in Indonesia itself, but what if we start to change slowly. Cycling to work is one thing advocates for reducing congestion.Bike path even today in some areas have been provided by the government. There is nothing wrong if we as a society use. It would be a positive influence in our country. Cycling can provide health of our bodies, of course! In addition to forming the muscles with cycling else we can burn the calories in our bodies, for example A woman of about 60 kg of body weight when pedaling speed of 22 km / hour can burn about 488 calories in 60 minutes. Besides cycling can also protect the heart, heart disease is one of the killers of women who most especially. In one study, the researchers asked 32 respondents to a woman riding a bicycle at least half an hour a day, three times a week. After a year, it is known that these women blood pressure decreased, so did the number of cholesterol, and significantly improve their fitness. Look location of cycling which can be reached within 30 minutes without stopping, so you can maintain a consistent speed. It turned out without us knowing a lot of benefit from cycling. Although the cycling sport that includes the efficient exercise in terms of cost-effective, but the benefits provided very unusual for our bodies and our environment. From now on, let's familiarize ourselves for the ride!

POLLUTION-FREE BIKE TIPS

Cycling much-loved by all circles because it can relieve stress and make our bodies to be fit. But the current state of the high levels of air pollution could be a threat to its own for the cyclists. Riding a bicycle in an area polluted or full of pollution can disrupt a person's health condition.

Effects of air pollution arising from this, as follows:

1. Reducing the amount of oxygen that serves to bring blood to the body 
2. Reduced lung function your body 
3. Reducing the amount of oxygen that serves to bring blood to the body 
4. Difficulty breathing in times of cycling  
5. The occurrence of airway irritation 
6. The rest is more free radicals you are inhaled can cause blockage of blood vessels.

Then you ask how to anticipate it all because you do not want all that happens to you while biking.Or is there among you who actually afraid of cycling because of pollution. And now nothing to fear anymore.

There are 5 things you should do by the cyclists during cycling, as follows:

1. Always use respiratory protection such as masks to reduce exposure to pollutants that are   on the road. And you better if you use a cloth mask should be frequently replaced or washed. 
2. We recommend traveling during the morning and the air still has not been contaminated by air pollution. It can make you much more healthy for your breathing to be refreshed because the air is still fresh. 
3. Do not back a bus or other vehicle exhaust when stopped at traffic lights or crossing the street, so no smoke inhaled vehicle containing hazardous substances.
4. Looking for an alternative route away from the crowds and the traffic density due to public transport, private vehicles and large buses, and try to find a way that still found a lot of trees. But do not make you late late office to such activities because they were busy looking for the route. 
5. Eating healthy foods and contains antioxidants to ward off or reduce the free radicals are inhaled during cycling.

BIKE TO REDUCE POLLUTION AND RISK OF DEATH

cycling to school

Cycling not only nourish themselves, but also can reduce pollution levels and risk of death it causes. According to the study, each year the cyclicts/ "pegowes" has cut 9 million kg of CO2 emissions and prevent 12 deaths.

CO2 or carbon dioxide emissions are a source of pollution of the most widely produced by incomplete combustion in motor vehicles and industrial machinery. High levels in the atmosphere trigger a greenhouse effect that trigger global warming.

For health, the CO2 can provide short-term impact directly between the other trigger respiratory problems and increased risk of cancer. While in the long run, the resulting climate change will be many new raising diseased.

The role of the cyclist, especially in big cities are very big in reducing the adverse effects of air pollution. More and more is riding a bicycle, the less CO2 emissions generated so in general become more healthy environment.

Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, ​​Spain uncover the cycling movement in several cities likes that "Boris Bicing Bikes" in London and Barcelona itself has managed to cut CO2 emissions by 9 million kg / year. Risk of preventable deaths each year is estimated at 12 cases / year.

"Active transport such as cycling encouraged people to move and become more powerful tool for improving public health," said David Rojas-Rueda, one of the researchers who reported the findings in the British Medical Journal, as quoted by Reuters on Monday (8 / 8 / 2011).
