How to Prevent Air Pollution
While a variety of effective laws have been set for the regulation of air pollution, there are still plenty of things that people may do to prevent this type of pollution from getting out of hand. If you feel that individual preventive measures don’t amount to anything, rest assured that every bit of effort adds to a collective energy to prevent air pollution.
Within the United States, between 1970 and 2006, citizens benefited from a significant reduction in yearly pollution emissions, as carbon monoxide emissions dropped from 197 million to 80 million tons. A little more than half of 31 million tons of sulfur dioxide emissions were cut down. A decrease in nitrogen oxide, lead, and particulate emissions was also seen.
