The Clean Air Act allowed the EPA to start to monitor these greenhouse gases from both mobile and stationary sources, for the first time on January 2, 2011. Although the EPA has only legally been allowed to monitor the greenhouse gases and other pollutions since January 2, 2011; the EPA has been handing out regulations and warning businesses for the past decade. Oil refineries have

and the release fom this process is only massive amount of pure energy. There is no carbon type gas or sulphure emission to the environment after these reactions. Unlike fossil fuels, it does not cause air pollution and it is nature friendly. Moreover, the use of nuclear energy aid to keep air clean because there is no deleterious output after nuclear reactions. Also, it prevents the deposition of ozone on the ground level. Nuclear power and its usage is also criticized because

The amount of asthma cases in urban areas has steadily increased from 150 million in 2002 to 235 million in 2011 worldwide. Many people think that air pollution, crowded living conditions, smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, and even cockroaches are to blame for this recent increase. In addition less

issues of air pollution in New York. This issue is topical and challenging for the community of New York. Though people do not see a real threat and danger for their health, nurses can encourage society to be more environmentally friendly and to reduce the cases of air pollution. There are three ways of community advocacy for nurses. They are the public education, community assessment and the appeal to authority. To start with, nurses paly paramount role in community service. In terms of air pollution

which in fact, not only pollutes the air that New Jersey residents are breathing in, but the plants pollute the earth’s surface in general by making vegetables and fruits harder to grow in the areas that they are built in. Along with damaging the environment with the meager way that New Jersey gets their energy, the state has not taken much time or energy to fix this specific problem. Power companies in New Jersey have been known for turning off their “pollution control” equipment, which is a legal

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode, which emits light when activated.[4]When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less
