    1. Chronic exposure to soot is associated with shorter life expectancies, lung cancer, diabetes and low birth weight and can exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses.

      Those chronic exposure also contributes with other disease like lung cancer, diabetes and other kind of illness.

    2. Refineries and chemical plants are major emitters of not only nitrogen oxide, but sulfur dioxide, which also contributes to smog and haze.

      Not only chemical plants are effecting the nature also sulfur dioxide which contribute smog and haze.

    3. Now California is crafting a similar policy for trucks. State regulators are expected to vote on rules in June that would require truck manufacturers to sell all-electric or fuel-cell trucks in the state

      Thats a good idea because all electric vehicle is more effective to the nature.

    4. Some truck manufacturers have pushed back against the proposal, saying the market for selling electric trucks hasn't developed yet.

      They should start to develop more electric cars and start to take off the gasoline cars from the roads.

    5. California also has an ambitious target for putting 5 million electric cars on the road by 2030. That could help lower emissions because instead of burning gasoline, those cars would run on electricity, largely generated by solar, wind and hydropower in the state.

      What do you think using electric cars or gasoline cars will be less effective to reduce those chemicals?

    6. Pollution from burning coal also affects a larger area than vehicle emissions, which means modest air pollution reductions in East Coast states may partly be because of their location downwind of coal-fired facilities.

      Burning coal also affects the pollution more than vehicle emission.

    7. Emissions from those sources, combined with hot and stagnant weather, cause air pollution to hit dangerous levels during the summer, which puts the region out of compliance with federal air standards

      air pollution hit different during the summer because it combine with the hot weather.

    8. "Every country, city, financial institution and company should adopt plans for transitioning to net zero [greenhouse gas] emissions by 2050."

      They should eliminate before 2050 because young people and older ones are becoming in danger those days.

    9. Climate change is making people sick and leading to premature death, according to a pair of influential reports on the connections between global warming and health.

      I think they should start eliminate the fossil fuel because a lot of people is getting sick and leading to death.

    10. Longer, more intense heat waves are a particularly deadly effect of global warming around the world, and older people are most at risk.

      How can we stop effecting the global warming these days?

    11. ir pollution from agriculture, vehicles and power plants contributes to asthma and other diseases that make severe cases of COVID-19 more likely.

      Vehicle and power plants makes many diseases that makes severe cases of covid-19

    12. "Many carbon-intensive practices and policies lead to poor air quality, poor food quality, and poor housing quality,

      Causes of death, disease, and burning fossil fuels led to poor air quality, poor food quality, and poor housing quality.

    13. A New Mexico state law requires killing any wild animal who has attacked a human, then testing that animal for rabies; the bear was killed the day after Williams was injured.

      what do you think about the new law in New Mexico about killing wild animal and do you agree?

    14. Many states on the East Coast allow wildlife officers to consider the circumstances that led to an attack when deciding whether a bear should live or die."

      In Alaska it is legal to kill the bears.

    1. Even if there was a change in administration that wanted more environmental regulations, every day that we don't reduce carbon emissions is a problem,” she says. “Every additional unit of carbon that's emitted into the atmosphere is a problem.”

      They have to reduce them because if they don't reduce the problem will continue on effecting the climate change.

    2. The review process makes agencies consider alternatives that reduce the negative impacts of the original plan, such as building a highway around a protected habitat instead of through it, she says. Now, even fewer projects will go through this process.

      we have to reduce things such as building, highway, commercial building so we can reduce the burning coal and save the climate change.

    3. The Trump administration has been busy during the pandemic, reshaping and rolling back long-standing environmental regulations on water, air and climate change.

      How can we stop the burning coal from effecting the climate change?
