Pollution_And_Emissions

Pollution And Emissions POLLUTION AND EMISSIONS The issue of pollution is well known and often discussed. It is seen as a great problem by many, however the majority of these people neglect their responsibility to earth and refuse to help fight against pollution. This has led to health problems for many. Long-term exposure to air pollution can cause cancer and damage to the body. Sources of pollution are all around; they include cars, trains, boats, factories, burning fossil fuels, and many others (www.epa.gov). There are many things that people can do to reduce the levels of pollution. Some examples of these are: carpooling, disposing of wastes properly, and riding public transportation systems. Many communities across the nation have a serious air quality problem (www.earth911.org). This has not gone completely overlooked by the government who, under the Clean Air Act, established air quality standards to protect public health (www.epa.gov). Areas of special standards include asthmatics, children, and the elderly.
