Why is Air Pollution so Serious?

• Long term exposure to air pollution can increase the risk of asthma, heart disease and potentially even dementia.
• According to the UN, 3.3 million people die prematurely due to the effects of air pollution every year
• According to King’s College, almost 9,500 people die annually as a result of poor air quality. Over 3,500 as a result of nitrogen dioxide and almost 6,000 because of PM2.5 which is the name given to the smallest particles of pollution. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and cause respiratory problems
• According to the WHO, 91% of the world’s population lives in places where air quality exceeds World Health Organization limits.
• Around 3 billion people cook using polluting open fires or simple stoves fuelled by kerosene, biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal.
• Each year, close to 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to household air pollution from inefficient cooking practices using polluting stoves paired with solid fuels and kerosene.

Solutions to Air Pollution

Personal Solutions

• Travel by foot, bicycle or train which are more environmentally friendly.
• Reduce your carbon footprint by considering the amount of carbon dioxide you put into the atmosphere.
• Only use a car when there are at least 2 passengers.

Government Solutions

• The Paris Agreement was ratified on November 4, 2016, among 118 nations as a larger effort to limit the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Each country agreed to take measures to combat climate change, with the final objective of keeping the post-industrial global temperature rise below two degrees celsius.
• Governments should create higher taxes on petrol, so that individuals and companies will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less.
• Governments should create a congestion charge which charges a fixed fee for everyone who drives in the city centre. This will encourage people to take public transport especially if the charge is used to subsidize subways, buses or trams.

The idea for the Describing Words engine came when I was building the engine for Related Words (it’s like a thesaurus, but gives you a much broader set of related words, rather than just synonyms). While playing around with word vectors and the «HasProperty» API of conceptnet, I had a bit of fun trying to get the adjectives which commonly describe a word. Eventually I realised that there’s a much better way of doing this: parse books!

Project Gutenberg was the initial corpus, but the parser got greedier and greedier and I ended up feeding it somewhere around 100 gigabytes of text files — mostly fiction, including many contemporary works. The parser simply looks through each book and pulls out the various descriptions of nouns.

Hopefully it’s more than just a novelty and some people will actually find it useful for their writing and brainstorming, but one neat little thing to try is to compare two nouns which are similar, but different in some significant way — for example, gender is interesting: «woman» versus «man» and «boy» versus «girl». On an inital quick analysis it seems that authors of fiction are at least 4x more likely to describe women (as opposed to men) with beauty-related terms (regarding their weight, features and general attractiveness). In fact, «beautiful» is possibly the most widely used adjective for women in all of the world’s literature, which is quite in line with the general unidimensional representation of women in many other media forms. If anyone wants to do further research into this, let me know and I can give you a lot more data (for example, there are about 25000 different entries for «woman» — too many to show here).

The blueness of the results represents their relative frequency. You can hover over an item for a second and the frequency score should pop up. The «uniqueness» sorting is default, and thanks to my Complicated Algorithm™, it orders them by the adjectives’ uniqueness to that particular noun relative to other nouns (it’s actually pretty simple). As you’d expect, you can click the «Sort By Usage Frequency» button to adjectives by their usage frequency for that noun.

Pollution is the addition of contaminants into the natural environment that cause serious change.  Pollutants can be either foreign substances or naturally occurring contaminants.

The three major forms of pollution are:

1. Air pollution
2. Water Pollution
3. Plastic Pollution

Let’s have a look at the Pollution vocabulary to learn words which are related to pollution like global warming, acid rain, smog, smoke etc.

The effects of air pollution on the human body vary depending on the type of contamination and the extent and extent of exposure — as well as other factors, including the risk to individual health and the accumulated effects of many pollutants or pressures.

The water it is said is life, and it is right. About 70 percent of the earth is water, which undoubtedly is one of our major sources of water. When we were young, we learned about various ways to save water because water is used in almost every major human activity and process. Water is an important factor in both domestic and industrial purposes.

However, a closer look at our water sources today raises serious concerns. Water is now littered with various wastes from floating plastic bags to chemical waste, which transforms our water bodies into a pool of toxins.

Water Pollution Vocabulary with Meanings

Following is the list of words related to water pollution along with their description:

• Industrial Waste: Industries produce a lot of waste, which contains toxic chemicals and pollutants, which cause air pollution and damage to our environment and to us. They contain harmful chemicals, including lead, mercury, sulfur, nitrates, asbestos, and many others.
• Sewage and Wastewater: Sewage and wastewater produced in each house are chemically treated and disposed of in seawater and fresh water. Sanitation water carries germs, common water pollution, other harmful germs, and chemicals that can cause serious health problems as well as diseases.
• Mining Activities: Mining is the process of crushing rocks and extracting coal and other minerals underground. These nutrients, when released in raw form, contain harmful chemicals and can increase the amount of toxic substances when mixed with water.
• Marine Dumping: Household waste such as paper, plastic, food, aluminum, rubber, glass, is collected and dumped at sea in other countries.
• Accidental Oil Leakage: Oil spills pose a serious threat to marine life when large amounts of oil spills into the oceans and do not melt. It creates problems for local wildlife, including fish, birds, and sea otters.
• The burning of fossil fuels: Mineral fuels such as coal and oil, when burned, produce more ash in the atmosphere.
• Chemical fertilizers and pesticides: Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used by farmers to protect plants from pests and bacteria.
• Global Warming: Rising global temperatures are causing global warming as a result of the greenhouse effect. It increases the water temperature leading to the death of marine animals and marine species.
• Radioactive Waste: Nuclear power is produced using nuclear fission or fusion. The element used in the production of nuclear energy is uranium, which is a highly toxic chemical.
• Urban Development: As the population has grown significantly, so has the need for housing, food, and textiles, leading to increased use of fertilizers, soil erosion, increased construction activities, sewage collection and inadequate treatment etc.
• Leakage From the Landfills: Garbage dumps are nothing but a pile of garbage that produces a foul odor and can be seen throughout the city. When it rains, leaky landfills can pollute groundwater with a wide variety of pollutants.
• Animal Waste: Waste generated by animals is washed away into rivers when it rains. It is then mixed with other harmful chemicals and causes various waterborne diseases.
• Underground Storage Leakage: The transportation of coal and other petroleum products by underground pipelines is well-known.
• Eutrophication: The growing level of nutrients in water is known as Eutrophication. It results in the bloom of algae in the water and eliminates oxygen in the water.
• Acid Rain: Acid rain is water pollution caused by air pollution. When acid particles released into the air due to air pollution come into contact with water vapor, it causes acid rain.

Since 1950, plastic manufacturers have produced over eight billion pieces of plastic, most of which wind up in landfills or the ocean. Here are some key facts about plastic pollutants:

Plastic Pollution Vocabulary with Meanings

Following is the list of words related to plastic pollution along with their description:

1. Micro-plastics are a significant issue. When plastic is broken, it turns into tiny pieces of plastic known as micro-plastics. These almost invisible plastic particles can come in contact with sand or other debris, resulting in continuous contamination that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Animals that dig in the sand or swim in the ocean for food, such as albatross and other seabirds, are often accidentally infected with plastic.
2. Plastic consumption is booming. Consumers buy at least one million plastic water bottles every minute. In addition, more than 500 billion plastic bags are purchased annually worldwide, although some US states and territories have banned the use of plastic bags to combat plastic pollution.
3. Single-use plastics are prevalent. Plastic packaging, like food wrappers, accounts for nearly half the amount of plastic waste.
4. Biodegradable plastics also contribute to pollution. Living organic plastic is a synthetic compound that can decompose over time with organic matter, retaining it in water, carbon dioxide, and residual material called biomass.
5. Nearly three-quarters of beach litter is plastic. About 73 percent of the garbage found on beaches worldwide is made of plastic products and plastic waste. Plastic bottles, groceries, and other plastic items are often dumped into the oceans of the world — some eight million metric tons a year — and end up on our shores.
6. Marine plastics hurt ocean life. Ocean plastic pollution has helped quadruple the number of dead zones found in our waters. Dead zones suffer from low oxygen, causing marine animals to suffocate, leading extinction and causing an ecological imbalance.
7. Plastic waste forms its islands. A vast ocean wave system in the northern Pacific Ocean between San Francisco, California, and Hawaii — formed what is known as the ocean. Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
8. Fishing gear is a major plastic pollutant. Fishing equipment such as nets, ropes, and traps make up 10 percent of the plastic waste, resulting in 640,000 tons of marine plastic waste per year.

There are many loud and soft sounds in the environment which affect the health and well-being of humans and other organisms, often referred to as Noise pollution.

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.

I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).

In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.

Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.
