A.

Explain and give at least (two) improvements regarding on the existing Waste Disposal
Treatment for Air

1. EPA's progress and difficulties in implementing the air toxics program should be evaluated.
o To improve EPA's air toxics program management and enhance its ability to reduce
cancer and other adverse health effects, the Administrator should direct the Assistant
Administrator for Air and Radiation to develop an air toxics program improvement plan
that prioritizes activities within the air toxics program, giving priority to those actions
that have the greatest potential to address health risks, to the extent permitted by the
Clean Air Act.
2. Evaluate the program's costs and benefits based on the information available.
o More information about health risks must be developed in order to accurately weigh
costs and benefits. Many current standards are based on insufficient scientific evidence.
A more concrete system is required if we are to recommit as a nation to improving air
quality. To ensure their validity, the studies on which the standards are based should be
subjected to independent scientific review. Furthermore, standards that disregard costs
are harmful to the economy. Some businesses lack the financial incentive to invest in
expansion programs, new ventures, or fuel conversions as a result of high-cost air
standards. This results in higher societal costs, such as slower economic growth and
fewer jobs. Obviously, when it comes to environmental issues, Congress should never
put the public's health or well-being in jeopardy. However, environmental and economic
goals do not have to be mutually exclusive. The Clean Air Act will work better for all of
us if cost-benefit analysis is taken into account.
3. Examine the methods used by state and local air toxics programs.
o To enhance the control of EPA's air toxics software and beautify its capacity to
lessen dangers of most cancers and different negative fitness effects, the EPA
Administrator have to require the Assistant Administrator for Air and Radiation to
broaden an air toxics software development plan that describes how the organization
plans to enhance its air toxics emissions inventory, which include a dialogue of the
statutory authority for, and the deserves of requiring states and emissions sources to
post standardized emissions data, and to lessen publicity to HAP in our communities.

B. Come up with ideas for reducing air pollution.

What can we do to ensure cleaner air? We can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and instead
invest in cleaner, renewable resources to generate electricity such as geothermal, wind, and
solar. And we can make decisions in our day-to-day lives to reduce or prevent air pollution by
using less energy and alternative fuels. For example, by walking, biking or using mass public
transportation can reduce the need to burn fossil fuels. And there are plenty other ways to
reduce our electrical needs; in particular, using more energy-efficient appliances. For example,
think of the LED bulb, which uses 75% less energy than incandescent lighting. So, even switching
out bulbs in the lights around your house or apartment can make a huge difference. Use
rechargeable batteries; every year, billions of batteries are discarded after being discharged.
They contribute to landfills, and the chemicals contained within them are harmful to the
environment. Go green is a lifestyle choice that can include using environmentally friendly
building materials in your home. Switching to a less polluting mode of transportation, such as an
electric car or bicycle, harnessing solar or wind energy, and reducing personal waste generation
all help to reduce carbon emissions. Also, more trees should be planted because trees improve
air quality. Planting trees benefits the environment by providing oxygen, reducing climate
change, conserving water, preserving soil, and providing habitat for wildlife. Trees take in carbon
dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe during photosynthesis.
