Answer 2

Answer:

Running Head: POLLUTION

Air pollution causes many different respiratory diseases to humans. Is the major cause of asthma, which an estimated 24.7 million Americans have been diagnosed with, according to the American Lung Association; asthma costs the nation $12.7 billion annually. From 1980 to 1994, diagnosed asthma cases have increased 75 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These statistics are surprising, but no one should be shocked, because from 1980 to 2002, more factories, more forest fires, and countless vehicles, which all of these have been contributing to air pollution. Furthermore, the current air pollution and the pollution from before the 1980 era is still in the air today, the air cannot absorb anymore more of these gases.

All of the governments of the world's nations are taking different measures to solve this problem. The Clean Air Act has been passed in many countries, which has reduced the air pollution. However, just having these laws, it is not enough to protect the environment. We as Americans have to take a stand and help solve this problem. For example, by getting your vehicle tuned-up more frequently so it does not smoke as much. Factories should use the resources available to them that produce less pollutants, for example instead of using coal, they can use natural gas, due to it produces less pollutants.

In conclusion, try imagining this scenario, a Red Cross truck that pulls into a small neighborhood and hands out bottled water to the people that are need of safe water to drink. Imagining this is hard, but water is a very important part of life. However, if the problem of air pollution continues, there might be a day when we all have to breathe out of an oxygen tank. If things continue as they are today, that day might not be too far into the future. All I can do is my part in trying to save the environment and hope there will be a solution to this problem in the near future.
