List three important ways in which your life would be different today if grassroots actions by U.S. citizens between 1970 and 1990 had not led to the Clean Air Acts of 1970, 1977, and 1990, despite massive political opposition by the affected industries. List three important ways in which your life in the future might be different if grassroots actions now do not lead to a strengthening of the U.S. Clean Air Act. How might your future life and that of your children be different if the current Clean Air and Clean Water Acts are not only not strengthened, but instead are weakened or not renewed?

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
