Smog: Why Is Congress Not Doing More About It?

Abstract: 8 pages in length. What, exactly, is clean air, and how is the nation fighting to acquire it? If local, state and federal laws do not protect the environment and all its inhabitants from the hazards of smog, what will? Currently, scientists have been able to detect smog in considerably minute amounts, which indicates that while pollution may be declining to some degree, it will always be present as long as people continue to modernize. Many argue that Congress has not done enough to curb such detrimental modernization, due in part to an overly casual perception of the problem coupled with pressure from big business to remain quiet. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
