2. Some possible health effects of ozone are
induction of respiratory symptoms, decrements of lung functions, and
inflammation of airways. Some of the possible health effects of sulfur dioxide
are irritation of the nose and throat, and accumulation of fluid on the lungs.
3. The amount of sulfur dioxide has progressively
gone up over the three years. The ozone has gone down over the three year
range. Both ozone and sulfur dioxide come from industrial plants and car
emissions. The reason that sulfur dioxide has probably gone up has to do with
higher populations and higher industry needs. At the same time, people are
trying to be more careful with the planet, and may be driving less or
carpooling more.
4. To limit some of these pollutants we can limit the
amount that industrial plants are able to do. We could also put more
regulations on these plants, causing them to need to find more environmentally
friendly ways to run. We can also work to cut the demand that requires
industrial plants to run as much as they do. Another thing that could help reduce
the amount of these pollutants in East Texas is to encourage the community to
drive less often or be more careful with the amount that they drive. Another
thing that would help East Texas would be more public transportation available
to the public. If that was available people would need to drive their own cars
less, causing less car emissions to be released, causing the amount of ozone
and sulfur dioxide to be released. If everyone in the community works together
to do a few of these things, then the amount of ozone and sulfur dioxide in our
East Texas air would be greatly reduced, helping the planet.
