What is pollution? Pollution is "to make impure and to contaminate with man made waste."(Webster) When people go into business they want to make a dollar. Every single one of us at one time or another has probably heard the phrase "every dollar counts". Well these big business corporations make every dollar count. Even if it damages the air we breathe with the selfless disregard for others. They don't care what the future generations will have to face and they clearly do it for that extra dollar.

A law should be made to limit every major country on the planet to decrease their levels of pollution 60% as well as an additional 5% annually. The first major action to be made will be to decrease according amoun

If we could completely have the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) behind my policy, we would be in a great position. However, the EPA has done something noble for the ozone this year. "In the August 24, 1998, Federal Register (63 FR 45060), EPA published an availability notice of proposed planning guidance for States to use in meeting the revised ambient air quality standards for ground-level ozone and particulate matter. The proposed EPA guidance mainly addresses ozone and PM non-attainment issues. EH issued an August 31, 1998 memorandum sent to DOE programs, field offices, and the Clean Air Working Group to announce the availability of the EPA guidance and its relevance to DOE operations in non-attainment areas." (Enviro-watch)

If these issues lack attention any longer many dramatic affects will occur to our planet as well as our selves. If ozone depletion continues we will have a raise in ultra-violate radiation that increases all forms of skin cancer, tumors and promotes blindness. Will we be happy with knowing our roles in causing health risks to our children? "In developed countries, where indoor pollution levels are lower, increasing traffic density and elevated NO2 levels with secondary photochemical and fine particulate pollution appear to be the main contemporary problem." (Environmental Health Risks Vol. 103, Supplement 6, Sep. 1995)

"Characterization of the air pollutants in Europe demonstrated unusually high concentrations during winter inversions of fine particles dominated by acidic sulfates, genotoxic organic compounds, and toxic trace elements. The major source of airborne fine particles is the burning of coal for heating and power. Human exposure and biomarker studies demonstrated large seasonal variations in air pollution and higher seasonal average pollution levels. Personal exposures to fine particles and organic carcinogens [e.g., polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)] were correlated with excretion of PAH metabolites in urine, several trace metals in blood, and DNA adducts in white blood cells. Respiratory and neurobehavioral studies of school children were conducted using questionnaires and clinical measures. A significantly higher prevalence of adverse respiratory symptoms and decreased lung function were found. The neurobehavioral studies indicated significantly higher referrals for clinical assessment, but the majo
