Community Environmental Issue

The issue is that there is a big cancer risk in San Bernardino County. The toxic air pollutants or air toxics are those pollutants known or suspected of causing cancer or other serious health problems. The pollutant formaldehyde is 53.24 and the Ben Zane is 14.20, and the Acetaldehyde is at 6.53.
This is an environmental sustainability issue because; the infant mortality rate in the U. S cities was 7.4 deaths per 1,000 live births. Between 1990-2004 the infant mortality rate incites has declined by nearly one-third while the nationwide decline during the same period was 25.3 percent.
It affects the people who live in the community. The mortality rate has gone up, and the cancer rate in San Bernardino County has also gone up. And it has also affected the birth weight of children. In 2004 low birth weight in San Bernardino County was 66.46.

    When questioning whether or not we are a species in decline, one has but to look at two different numbers. One of those numbers is birthrates, or the number of live births in a given area. For this paper I will concentrate on the United States primarily to provide a more centralized view. The other number you can look at is the mortality rate, or number of deaths in that same area. From these two numbers one can glean much knowledge about the state of human population growth or decline. Looking at a high birth rate and a low death rate could signal a growth in a population, while the opposite could signal a decline.…
