Pollution Control
With growing population in the city, greater pressures on infracture and natural resources has affected the environment in greater ways. Increase in population causes infracture to deteriorate, traffic congestion, lower air and water quality, and loss of open space. Population increase brings with it more vehicles on the roads that put greater emissions in the air and greater pollution problems that affect the land and water quality. All of this will cause more health problems. In order to deter the greater pollution with the increase in population, more measures of pollution control need to be implemented.
Pollution control legislation for point measures would cost an estimated 0.3 million. The focus could be on making the weaknesses in already existing law stronger with stronger enforcement. The emissions standards that establish annual amounts and kinds of pollutants emitted into the air and water by users of certain products has disadvantages that include allowing emissions of less than the standards free of charge, firms are restricted in the methods of compliance, and it does not take into account the differences among the firms or differences in regions. (The Economics of Pollution Controls...
The more they are over the required amount, the greater the fines. Incentives to seek less expensive measures to reduce emissions can be given discounts off the fines if proof of the measure is given at the time the payments are made. The funds from the fines can be used in the enforcement process. It could be a measure of enforcing the emissions reduction process and provide more funds to the program.
Random emission testing would cost approximately $0.6 million. Vehicle air pollutants are carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds, and sulfur dioxide. (Free vehicle emissions testing) Two teams of transport inspectors can be placed on the roads on a daily basis. The use of a 4-gas analyzer that measures levels of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons would tell the levels of tune ups done on vehicles in the city. Recommended emission levels set for vehicles of different ages, taking into account of technology advances could be set for level control. By doing random emission checks on vehicles, preferable targeting vehicles that are smoking, it would encourage citizens to maintain their vehicles for better performance and less emission in the air.…

Pollution in the environment has become an important subject for consternation in today's world, where pollution of all kinds affects the daily lives of people as well as the environment in such a way that most people find it difficult to continue their normal routines on account of the pollution. Pollution can affect either the air or the water of our Planet Earth, and although the pollutants that are emitted
Elderly in Monrovia, CA The population of people aged 65 years or greater is steadily escalating, as baby boomers come of age. It is estimated that this age bracket accounts for 10% of the total world population, and is statistically increasing. As this sector of the population steadily increases, there are of course, accompanying health care issues: osteoarthritis, cardiac and kidney issues, Alzheimer's or dementia, and an ever-growing problem with
Pollution: Causes and Impact Environmental pollution is a serious threat that jeopardizes both plant and animal survival on the planet. Water and atmospheric pollution become more of a danger each passing year as the population explodes and the resources of the planet become more difficult to access. Emerging societies are also demanding the same types of luxuries and materials that the Western world has convinced them that are the symbols of
Population Crisis & Birth Control The objective of Ehrlich is to prove that the developed countries have a relatively moderate growth in the increase of population, but they use a lot of the natural resources that are available there and thus cause problems of pollution. (Too Many People) While this is true to some extent, there are other accompanying problems and that is the feeling of being that one is has
Growing up in a Large City The world is becoming increasingly urbanized, with more than half the world's people already living it cities. By 2030, 60% of the world's people will live in cities, in contrast to 30% in 1950 (World Bank, 2010). With this increased urbanization come a number of benefits to people, but this high degree of urbanization also comes with drawbacks as well. For children growing up in
