Reading Response 6

The next peer reviewed article that I am writing about is diving into the fossil fuels of Iran and the health impacts and energy consumption that come with this fossil fuel mining’s. The article says that ninety one percent of Iran’s electrical production is from fossil fuels and with these fossil fuels comes air pollutants that makes the air toxic for humans to breath. It also interestingly enough discusses how the areas that are higher in coal and fossil fuel mining has kids who have asthma and other such respiratory problems and is actually costing the country of Iran a lot of monetary problems. The problems that can come along with fossil fuel mining can not only be death and health issues for all those that have to breath in the toxic air but also cost the country money in areas that may not be thought of immediately but will in the long run end up hurting the economy along with the people who make up the economy. The problem is like an infection in that it slowly infects everything around it and causes problems until we the people and the government decide to finally take a stand and try and fix the problem at hand before it is too late for us and the problem gets exponentially worse and we can no longer reverse the problems and instead just have to learn how to coincide with the new world that we have created and apologize to the upcoming generations for the world that they have to inherit from us.
