Summary

In Reducing Pollution, we find out how our way of life affects Earth and the impact of chemicals and emissions on living things. We learn about the role that industry plays in reducing pollution, and the benefits of making changes to our consumption of resources, from recycling plastics to green chemistry. We also look at rivers oozing with chemicals and cities that see no true daylight as the Sun fails to shine through the smog.

Author Biography
