I agree Al. The pollution should be stopped at it’s source. How about the lingering jet contrail pollution. I have jets spray over my house daily and I have to tell you…it is very depressing having very little sunlight as well as increasing Respitory and other health issues such as Cancer. In Victoria BC Canada…we are now starting to have Cancer Hotle Resorts for family of the Sick. We have a whole New Cancer Wing too. How far are people willing to take things to make Money…and have a ‘Career’. Appaling.

Did I hear that there is a conference in San Diego coming soon-about research/topics related to the atmosphere? It was mentioned on the NPR show, but didn’t catch the date or venue.

thanks so much

There could be a toxic waste dump nearby. Check the area.

Dear Sirs,
Hasn’t anyone besides me noticed long strands of clear nasal
drainage coming from my nose the past couple of years .
I told my mother , elderly , that this is the effects of carbon in the
atmosphere. I live in a rural area.

Thank you

This is the type of work that can lead to properly placed, effective regulation. If the SOA are shown to have significant health impacts and we can identify the sources of the constituents that contribute to their formation, we can focus efforts on controlling the right sources. Further, if the health impacts can be quantified, the SOA can be compared to other pollutants and EPA can make informed decisions on where to place resources and to spend budget dollars for the greatest benfit. Budgets will surely be squeezed as the enormous deficit our government has heaped on us begins to take its toll. EPA will need to pick and choose what to regulate, and I am hopeful that the decisions will be science based, rational, and represent tax dollars well spent. Repeat the mantra, “SCIENCE RULES, SCIENCE RULES, SCIENCE RULES …” Good work Ben and Andy. Work such as your’s can contribute to good decision making. It’s up to EPA leadership to be good stewards of our science and our dollars.

If Andy and Ben presented their research, its said to us that AAAR 2010 contained airmultidiscipline science, so can add resources of environmental protection. This done sure to collect and next time by comprehensive acts, can make solve our planets.

Air pollution should be stopped at its source, but scientists who are sensitive tp corporate needs prefer to study it as though it’s an integral part of the environment.
