Pollution Atmosferica Leading Causes

There are many causes of air pollution, but we can name some of the more common throughout the world, with its activities and emissions.

Refinery in oil
Activity: Refined petroleum and derivatives, such as fuels and lubricants substances manufacturing.
Emissions: carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons.
Effects: Cardiovascular and respiratory, eye irritation, carcinogenic properties, effect greenhouse and acid rain. Carbon dioxide, methane and oxides of nitrogen are important greenhouse gases. The oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are the cause of acid rain threatening all the forests of the Earth.

Chemical industry
Activity: Production of chemicals from various raw materials.
Emissions, sulfides, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, organic and inorganic compounds.
Effects: carcinogenic properties and mutagenic, cardiovascular, respiratory and skin complaints, pestilence and different toxicities.

Incineration of waste
Activity: urban solid waste disposal
Emissions: sulphur oxide, various organic substances, hydrochloric acid.
Effects: cardiovascular, respiratory and central nervous system, carcinogenic properties and acid rain.

Continuing with the first part of the main causes of air pollution

Livestock facilities
Activity: farming
Emissions: methane, ammonia
Effects: power as greenhouse of the methane gas is 20 to 30 times greater than carbon dioxide, which is certainly is a big problem

Thermal power stations

Activity: production of electricity from fossil fuels
Emissions: sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Effects: diseases cardiovascular, disturbance of the transport of oxygen in the blood, respiratory problems, greenhouse effect, acid rain (oxides of nitrogen and sulfur that we send into the atmosphere are mixed with the steam of the clouds and returns to Earth as acid rain)

Cars
Activity: excessive use of transportation in city and highway
Emissions: carbon monoxide, dioxide, nitrogen, hydrocarbons, lead, and others
Effects: alteration of the transport of oxygen in blood, respiratory, carcinogenic properties, kidney and central nervous system.

Leading Zurcal in renewable energy

Spain is in the 2010 one of the countries with the biggest photovoltaic solar power. The Valencian group Zurcal has become leader of renewable energies.

For more than 15 years, the Group Zurcal is dedicated to the development of renewable energy, especially solar and wind energy.In addition, the company has over 40 years of experience in energy efficiency and savings.

According to data provided by the International Energy Agency, Spain already had some 2500 MW of photovoltaic power installed in 2008 and this year is estimated at between the 3.523 MW of installed power.

Furthermore, Zurcal is a company classified as contractor of works of the State and has obtained a classification category E, being the highest category, it accredits to tackle projects given its solvency and corporate quality.

Zurcal intends to make enterprises of great importance because it provides efficiency and capacity to carry them out.In Valencia, which is where its headquarters, Zurcal is planning and evaluating energy projects to continue at the forefront of the renewable. All of this, regardless of the projects that exist in the Netherlands and soon in Italy, Chile and California.

Without a doubt, Zurcal is company leader in energy renov ables in Spain, and everything indicates that this 2010 are more dedicated to the photovoltaic solar energy.
