...research shows minorities living in poor urban areas are more likely to die from asthma than any other group, largely contributing to the rise in asthma deaths nationwide since the late 1970s. But the deaths cannot be blamed on more carbon monoxide and ozone clogging the air, since air standards have improved in some American cities. Instead indoor allergens and difficulty in getting health care may have more to do with why asthma is more deadly for the urban poor...
...China meets its energy needs has an impact far beyond its boundaries. Sulfurous emissions from Chinese power plants and factories blow eastward and fall as acid rain on Japan and Korea. In fact, the pollution has planet-wide + implications: China is the world's second-largest producer of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are collecting in the atmosphere and may, many scientists believe, lead to global warming. If China maintains its annual economic growth rate of 11%, the country will need to add 17,000 megawatts of electrical generating capacity each year for the rest of the decade...
...recently as 10 years ago, natural gas was considered a dead-end industry because analysts grossly underestimated global reserves. Now it is rapidly becoming a favorite fuel of electric utilities. More than 30% cheaper than oil, it burns efficiently, and it produces fewer pollutants and a third less carbon dioxide than oil. World production has risen 30% since the mid-1980s. Because of its advantages over dirtier hydrocarbons, natural gas may be a bridge between oil and coal and the solar...
After crossing a highway-spanning overpass and inhaling the requisite volume of carbon monoxide gas," (after all it is New York City), the runners begin the 1.5 mile loop of the famous "back hills." These consist of a seemingly endless span of winding slopes that eventually return the runner to the bridge, around a sharp downhill and to the final 400-meter stretch...
Cohn chose to limit her study of black to prints because she believes the intensity of "blackness" in a carbon or intaglio print is substantially different from the more fragile writing inks and watercolor pigments. Also because prints are made from a single layer of black and tend to form an opaque, continuous surface, they project a constancy and immutability not found in drawing or painting...
