Pollution



The pollution major cities such as Los Angeles produce increases the amount of deaths from respiratory diseases. Scientists can prove that the pollution causes "short-term effects such as asthma attacks, more hospitalization and deaths from heart attacks". Scientists and health experts say the ideas by the Environmental Protection Agency "failed to reflect research indicating that smog poses far greater health risks than previously thought". Tougher restrictions could make more urban areas take steps that were generally used only for places near St. Louis and Chicago. Effects from the government are in place to help clean the air. "Other federal rules requiring cleaner vehicle fuels, diesel engines, power plants, and factories are expected to steadily reduce smog levels nationwide". Hopefully our effects will help to significantly reduce the pollution created in the United States.
