The mines north of London were so pungent that "in 1257, Queen Elanor, wife of Henry III, was so sickened by the stench of coal smoke at Nottingham Castle that she fled to preserve her health." (Dewey, 17) Perhaps it was the royal distaste for the stench that brought about some attempts to address public concern over the smoke
Potential 'poisons,' whether natural or manufactures must be understood, quantified, and controlled if we are to strike the proper balance." (Kabel, xii) Bibliography Alley, F
The study found that current federal standards were not strict enough regarding air particles and grit in the environment. But what can elderly women, like the women do to improve their immediate health environment? Self-care is critical, even for the elderly, according to Orem's model of nursing which maintains: "a requirement for nursing exists when a person is unable to maintain for him/herself self-care action which is therapeutic in sustaining life and health," such as recovering from disease and injury or coping with the effects of an illness (Goodwin, 1990, citing Orem, 197 1: 1)
Many major players have gotten actively involved in slowing down and even preventing climate change from happening by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that they previously generated. "However, too little attention has been paid to 'what works' in mitigating climate change, leaving the public and many politicians with the idea that we don't have the slightest idea how to solve the problem" (Pew Center on Global Climate Change 83)
Pollution actually goes back to the period when man first discovered fire, as it was then that humanity actually started to significantly affect the natural world. "The British Parliament passed an Act in 1273, forbidding the burning of coal in London because it was beginning to choke the atmosphere" (Rao 1)
This means that ultraviolet radiation is close to the maximum and that conditions are critical. "Reductions in atmospheric ozone are expected to result in higher amounts of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation reaching Earth's surface" (United Nations Environment Programme 1)
In spite of the fact that many communities express interest in fighting climate change, the economic aspects of this fight makes it difficult for them to employ all of their efforts in the campaign. As a result, most of them end up using a limited amount of resources in this conflict and experience little to no results (Van Kooten 1)
This centralization of policy in the United States contains several directives and regulations that are aimed at enforcing and regulating environmental standards. While the Agency provides minimal requirements for environmental regulation, the states have the greater responsibility of regulating air pollution (Kramer, 2002)
Inclusion of Different Directives: In efforts for controlling air pollution from industrial sources, the legislative approach for the European Union and the United States have both included different directives. The major regulation in the environmental legislation for the European Union is the IPPC directive whose aim is for an integrated approach in controlling pollution from industrial sources (Skinner, 2000)
Schwarzenegger quipped, "when he came to California in the late 1960s, poor air quality would cause his eyes to water, while the air quality is much better now thanks to the Clean Air Act… Today, I have tears in my eyes again, but for a very different reason. Some in Washington are threatening to pull the plug on this success," (Geman 2011)
Those health risks can be easily quantified to show how the Clean Air Act helps the economy by reducing absenteeism and lowering total expenditures on health care. A recent study shows that air pollution in Southern California not only causes "respiratory disease, heart attacks, cancer and premature death," but has also "been linked to brain damage in mice, including signs associated with memory loss and Alzheimer's disease," (Sahagun 2011)
However, long-term exposure to air pollutants may be deadly. Some people are more susceptible than others for getting a disease related to exposure to air pollution ("Air Pollution," n
The qualitative research is multidisciplinary examination of the sources, effects and possible solutions for China's air pollution. The studies analyzed include: "The China Project" (Ho & Nielsen, 2007); the 2010 "Global Burden of Disease Study" conducted by the World Health Organization, the World Bank and the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning (Chen, Wang, Ma, & Zhang, December 14, 2013); a 2010 study by the Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning (Wang, Lei, Yang, & Yan, 2012); the 2007 Bali Climate Change Talks (Muldavin, 2007); a 2011 study of air pollution health impacts on the Chinese economy (Matus, et al

This was a giant step in its own right and it also looking toward the final global treaty on climate change that will be negotiated in Paris in 2015. The agreement is also considered historic because it will encourage other reluctant nations, such as India, to cooperate in globally reducing emissions (Landler, 2014)
