Facebook users spend an average of more than 15 hours a month on the social networking
site. While there are plenty who caution against such intensive use — and there are a number of
studies detailing the harm Facebook could potentially cause — there also are lots of reports
extolling the site's virtues. As the social media giant prepares for its upcoming initial public
offering, here are some ways Facebook just might be good for you.
Spending time on Facebook can help people relax, slow down their heart rate and decrease
stress levels, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the
University of Milan. In a study published earlier this year, researchers studied 30 students and
found that a natural high was sparked when they were on the social media network that led to
the relaxed heart rates and lower levels of stress and tension. In the study, the students were
monitored in three situations: looking at panoramic landscapes, performing complicated
mathematical equations and using Facebook. While the first situation was the most relaxing to
students and the math problems were the most stressful, the time on Facebook uncovered high
levels of attractiveness and arousal. The findings support the researchers' hypothesis that
Facebook's success, as well as that of other social media networks, correlates to the specific
positive mental and physical state users experience.
While many may argue that social media networks only distract employees, research shows
the opposite may be true. Research from Keas.com found that a 10-minute Facebook break makes
employees happier, healthier and more productive. The study examined workers in three groups:
one that was allowed no breaks, one that was allowed to do anything but use the Internet and one
that was allowed 10 minutes to use the Internet and Facebook. The Facebook group was found to be
16 percent more productive than the group that was not allowed to use the Internet and nearly 40
percent more productive than the group that was allowed no breaks. "Short and unobtrusive breaks,
such as a quick surf on the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher net total
concentration for a day's work, and as a result, increased productivity," said Brent Coker of the
department of management and marketing at the University of Melbourne in Australia.
Facebook is also in the business of matchmaking. Research shows that nearly 60 percent of
singles will friend someone new on Facebook after meeting them in person. If they like what they
see, 25 percent are likely to contact their new love interest via Facebook. Once the courting is over,
nearly 40 percent of those social networking adults will update their relationship status on
Facebook, with just 24 percent telling their friends first. Facebook use between couples will
continue through the dating process, the research shows. Throughout the day, 79 percent of couples
said they send partners Facebook messages or chat on the social network. In addition, more than 60
percent would post romantic messages on their significant other's Facebook wall. When the
relationship ends, more than half of those surveyed immediately update their status to single, which
automatically sends out a notification to their friend list to start the dating cycle over again.

Environmental pollution is one of the impacts of human activities on the Earth. Pollution occurs
when pollutants contaminate the natural surroundings; which brings about changes that affect our normal
lifestyles adversely. Pollution disturbs our ecosystem and the balance in the environment. Pollution
occurs in different forms; air, water, soil, radioactive, noise, heat/ thermal and light Let us discuss the
causes and effects of air pollution on mankind and the environment as a whole.
Air pollution is the most prominent and dangerous form of pollution. It occurs due to many
reasons. Excessive burning of fuel which is a necessity of our daily lives for cooking, driving and other
industrial activities; releases a huge amount of chemical substances in the air every day; these pollute the
air. Smoke from chimneys, factories, vehicles or burning of wood basically occurs due to coal burning;
this releases sulphur dioxide into the air making it toxic.
The effects of air pollution are evident too. The increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere
leads to smog which can restrict sunlight from reaching the earth. Thus, preventing plants in the process
of photosynthesis. Gases like sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) can cause acid rain.
The decrease in quality of air leads to several respiratory problems including asthma or lung cancer.
Chest pain, congestion, throat inflammation, cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseaseare some of
diseases that can be caused by air pollution.
The emission of greenhouse gases particularly CO2 is leading to global warming. Every other day
new industries are being set up, new vehicles come on roads and trees are cut to make way for new
homes. All of them, in direct or indirect way lead to increase in CO2 in the environment. The increase in
CO2 leads to melting of polar ice caps which increases the sea level and pose danger for the people living
near coastal areas.
Ozone layer is the thin shield high up in the sky that stops ultra violet rays from reaching the
earth. As a result of human activities, chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), were released into
the atmosphere which contributed to the depletion of ozone layer.
