The Central Valley's health conditions is a very significant topic that should be looked into more thoroughly as many of the civilians coinciding in the general area are experiencing horrible respiratory problems and not up to par physical surroundings. One of the major reasons as to why Central Valley citizens are having these health problems is due to the substandard air pollution that encircles the community. This is because the Central Valley is made up of mostly farming land. Soil and fertilizer are abundantly utilized when planting crops, so it produces nitrous oxide compounds that can increase the amount of nitrous oxide that lingers in the ozone layer located at ground level. Nitrous oxide is an extremely dangerous gas when inhaled for copious amounts of time and it is usually necessary when people need serious medical attention where they need to be knocked out. Research shows that the soil used for agricultural purposes make up to 20-32% of the nitrous oxide in the ozone layer. With enough exposure to this gas, people can experience loss of blood pressure, fainting, anemia, or a vitamin B-12 deficiency. It can even get more intense to the point that it could cause nerve damage and eventually lead to a human being's body part going numb. Additionally, the Central Valley has awful geographical attributes as it is surrounded by mountain ranges that mock acts as a pool, keeping in all of the emissions that should usually be distributed into the neighboring parts of the Central Valley to diminish the severe health conditions Central Valley citizens encounter. To add on, in today's society, the Central Valley is greatly expanding by attracting more individuals into living within the area, thus increasing the amount of cars which can also contribute to the amount of emissions that are in the air, potentially damaging an individuals internal organs and respiratory system.
