California counties are where almost 15 million people reside. South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is a governmental organization established in 1977 to deal with the historically poor air quality in the area surrounding Los Angeles. Air pollution injures organisms‚ reduces visibility‚ and attacks and corrodes materials such as metals‚ plastics‚ rubber‚ and fabrics. The respiratory tracts of animals‚ including humans‚ are particularly harmed by air pollutants‚ which worsen existing medical

Environmental pollution‚ problems and control measures A. Introduction and definition of environmental pollution – We know that‚ a living organism cannot live by itself. Organisms interact among themselves. Hence‚ all organisms‚ such as plants‚ animals and human beings‚ as well as the physical surroundings with whom we interact‚ form a part of our environment. All these constituents of the environment are dependent upon each other. Thus‚ they maintain a balance in nature. As we are the only organisms
