air pollution continues to
harm americans heath and the bush administration is pushing a course
that will result in far direr air.
when people think about air pollution , they usually think
about smog , acidrain, cfc's , and other form's of outdoor air
pollution . but did you know that air pollution also can exists
inside home and other buildings? it can , and every year , the health
of many people is affected by chemical substances presented in the air
within buildings .
a great deal of research on pollution is being conducted at
laboratories and unirersities. the goal of the research are to find
solutions and to educate the public about the problem . two places
where this type of work is being done are LBNL and the University of
California, Berkeley.
Here are some of the various types of air
pollution, the effects that they have on people, and what is being (or
not being) done to correct the problem:
Scientific groups study the damaging effects on plants, animals, and
human life. Things that make air pollution worse include
developments, increasing traffic, growing cities, rapid economic
development, and industrialization.
The task of cleaning up air pollution is hard but not
impossible. The best way to reduce air pollution is to capture
pollution in places where this are large combustion (burning)
processes, to make cars, trucks, and airplanes put out less pollution,
and to reduce how much pollution that comes from solid waste
facilities.
