Environmental Benefits Of Solar Energy by mendelsmattress: 10:53am On Mar 07, 2018
Solar energy not only helps to protect the environment around you, but it also provides a variety of health benefits. Common energy sources, such as oil, coal and gas, emit chemicals like sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide into the air. Studies show that these dangerous pollutants can cause several severe respiratory problems, including asthma, bronchitis, pulmonary inflammation and chronic respiratory disease, as well as cardio health issues, such as heart attack and stroke.

Water contamination due to standard energy waste causes additional health risks. For example, coal produces the largest amount of mercury emissions into the air. These mercury particles eventually make their way into the groundwater and then into nearby streams, lakes and oceans, affecting the fish in the water. Not only does this affect drinking water, but when humans consume mercury-contaminated fish, it can cause irreversible neurological damage, especially in pregnant women and young children. This is so damaging that the EPA recommends women and young children limit their consumption of certain types of fish.

Installing solar panels on your home will help to reduce your reliance on standard energy sources that pollute both the air and water. This will create a healthier environment for you and your neighbors. Most importantly, as more and more homeowners make the choice to switch to cleaner solar energy, it can help reduce the risk of chronic respiratory and cardiac diseases, as well as neurological damage.

Are you ready to make a difference in the world and in the lives of those around you? You can add solar panels to your home today and start reaping the health and environmental benefits tomorrow.
