State and explain three main types of air pollutants and their impacts on human health. Evaluate the strategies that can be used to reduce exposure to air pollutants in urban areas. Discuss the effectiveness of various methods such as increasing public transportation, urban greening, and the use of air filter technology. (Cite your sources if the case study is taken from journals or articles, etc.)

Air pollution was one of the first areas of environmental concern and regulation. Identify any such successful mitigation efforts and identify also areas where we have work yet to do and its environmental health implications.
Project: The impact of the clean air act on marginalized communities. This topic will mainly focus on how air pollution impacts many countries around the world and what possible solutions can tackle air pollution in the near future. The main focus will be the health effects, source of air pollution, tools needed for monitoring air quality and strategies to stop air pollution. A brief description of your stakeholders and how they will benefit from this Project idea.
Air Pollution is a common contributor to health issues that is typically more abundant in urban environments. In this week's lab exercise you will examine levels of air pollution in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The measurable levels of different pollutants indicate an overall air quality index (AQI). Anthropogenic sources of pollution (Carbon monoxide, Ozone) are a major contributor to higher AQI values but particulate matter (PM-10) is also important in determining an AQI score. Choose all listed sources that would contribute to increased particulate matter (PM-10) levels. and EXPLAIN WHY YOU CHOOSE IT. DEFEND YOUR ANSWER choices: a. Water vapor from Tempe town Lake and local water parks b.Bovine flatulence from Shamrock Farms c.Dust from empty construction lots or a recent HABOOB! d. Pollen from Brenton's ridiculously diverse garden e. Helium expended from the NMR machine in Tempe
What the steps taken by government to control air pollution includes?
List 3 possible benefits from this scenario: "Nanotechnology can be used to reduce pollutants in the environment such as radioactive wastes, oil spill, and propylene oxide, the raw material for making plastics." Note: BENEFITS are the advantages, good effects/impacts, or profit resulting from the scenario.
