Research Assignment 1 : Social Awareness

The environment. Sometimes it's good and than there are times it is awful. In the last decade or so, the environment has been one of the top issues in America. One issue is pollution; half of the United States is filled with pollution causing smog to happen. Smog is bad air of particle pollution and one of the top killers because when breathing in smog, it will lower your lung function, will give you respiratory illness and more. In fact, 76.5 Americans live in areas unhealthy because they live in particle pollution areas. Children and the Elderly are at risk, particle pollution could make them have strokes, heart attacks, and cardiovascular disease.

To help make Particle Pollution grow smaller and smaller, try to stop burning wood or trash that sends particle pollution into the air and not using vehicles so much. Also to make the environment better, people are joining forces with ALA (American Lung Association) to help clean our streets and not using vehicles so much. So far, more plans are being made to clean up our environment.
