Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the real-world macroeconomic impact of air pollution in the world today and offers recommendations towards possibly overcoming this problem.

From the Paper:

"To overcome these real-world problems, continue to oversee and implement laws which govern and strictly enforce factories from emitting industrial pollutants and airborne toxicants that are extremely harmful to people and the environment such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, mercury, beryllium, asbestos, vinyl chloride, benzene, radioactive substances and inorganic arsenic. One of the most innovational approaches towards cleaner air may truly deduce from recently discovered efforts to eliminate fossil fuels and the internal-combustion engine. "
