The Varying Effects of Pollution on the Environment James Fields Indiana University Southeast Abstract This paper explores the varying effects of pollution on the environment and human interaction by explaining the history of human’s tendency to pollute and giving several examples that created many regulations that help in decreasing pollution. Many studies in this paper help to explain how pollution is directly related to human interaction such as the study by Keith Gaby that show a correlation
