The smog policy in California is also frequently referred to as the smog check program and was first implemented in 1984. Its main purpose is to ensure the adherence to the goal of having cars make the least amount of pollution.

A key part of the policy involves the identification of the cars that have the highest levels of pollution and…

Today, in a society full of advanced technology, people think our country is perfect. With water resistant phones, 3-D holographic advancements, and cars equipped with automatic braking systems, it is no wonder Americans have this perceived idea of perfection. However, our country is suffering from a problem that we thought only third world countries suffered from, and our carelessness about this issue is not helping our increasingly dangerous situation.

It wasn’t until the beginning of the American romantic movement that this perception began to shift in the wake of great minds such as Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Fenimore Cooper, Thomas Cole, and many other…

in a safe and cost efficient way. One way is bioremediation, which is the use of microorganisms to break down pollutants. Another effective way is chemical remediation, which is the use of chemicals to extract pollutants from an environment. In this paper, I will discuss the beneficial attributes of bioremediation and chemical remediation in the oil spill clean up process. Oil is one of the major pollutants in the environment, especially for ocean pollution. Barges, tankers,…

Every one of us faces health risks as we go about our daily lives – commuting to work, traveling by air, engaging in recreational activities, and exposure to environmental pollutants. While some of these risks are unavoidable, others can be prevented by becoming more informed. The risk from hazardous radon gas in your home can be detected and mitigated by having a radon inspection done. Homeowners in Cincinnati, OH, keep their indoor air radon-free by having it inspected by the expert technician…

social and economic systems specifically in urban areas. Collaterally, the expert system should be used with other models following the same procedure: prediction of potential issues, long-term monitoring and surveillance, crisis management and remediation. (Cheng et al., 2003) Ultimately, the objective would be to have this procedure applied through all pollution control measures and to have more public awareness on the situation. Non-point source pollution control is another important factor…
