Studies have shown that people who live in places with high levels of air pollutants have a 20 percent higher risk of death from lung cancer than people who live in less-polluted areas. This anthology contains primary source writings by many of the foremost authorities on environmental pollution. The writings reflect a broad way of opinions, providing readers with a comprehensive knowledge of the issues. Each chapter asks a pertinent question about the topic, and the viewpoints that follow are grouped into "yes" and "no" categories. This unique approach provides readers with a concise view of divergent opinions on each topic. Contains an extensive book and periodical bibliography.
