Answer 1

Today, transportation provides people with a way to carry goods from places to places. It is meant for people to save their times.Transportation has always played an important role in influencing the formation of urban societies. Although other facilities like availability of food and water, played a major role, the contribution of transportation can be seen clearly from the formation, size and pattern, and the development of societies, especially urban centers.In every urban areas, transportation in all forms have a big impact on modern society. Although, transportation benefits our society, it damages our environment. Just like a coin, transportation has a double side. It conveys socioeconomic benefits, but at the same time, it impacts our environment. From all the vehicles, marine engines and aircrafts, the gas particles that effects the air quality and human body are released.These lethal particles such as : lead (Pb), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2; not a pollutant), methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NOx), nitrous oxide (N2O) is repeatedly released every single day to harm us.When the polluted toxic air is inhaled into our lungs, it increases the risk of getting cancer and other related diseases. This causes many deaths every year, which upsets me all the time.It also caused noises. Transportation causes so much high and chaotic noises every day that can directly harm and damage the hearing system of us. Even though, Transportation benefits us, our society, and economy directly by being efficient, it has many negative impacts that harms our environment. A damaged environment is extremely incapable for us to live in it and there is not so many environments that we can live in now days.
