This is very informative. It is weird how allergic reactions are connected with air pollution. It seems obvious how they can both give you asthma, but it was amazing to hear how they are related. I did not know how it makes you breath worse because I had never had it, but it made sense. Reading about T-Regs and all of that stuff was kind of confusing. But I read it a few times and got it. Of course, having different levels of air pollution exposure to the kids makes the experiment off, but most experiments are off by at least a little. That was a good article in my opinion.

People should try to stop this. Of course air pollutants will cause health problems, but it's not really fair for kids to be growing up with this. They should somehow find a way to make factories cleaner for everyone. Maybe factories should be indoors and go through a kind of "recycling" system so that air pollutants don't have to be sent outside. All the different names were things were a bit strange wince they didn't explain them very well. But, I still think that this page will get you thinking on what is actually going on sometimes when you see smoke coming out of a factory.

Of course though, the pollutants might not be coming from a lot of factories, just a few. So, you can't really say if the city is getting affected or not.
