Can you give example of pollutants that are common in and around a home, that may cause air, water or land pollution?

I was just wondering if Ohio is the only state who does this test? I take the OGT tomorrow 
Are they as hard as people say?
im taking mine tomorow tooo but ive been taking practice tests online and i tookt the practice tests last year and got 70s on almost all of them…
there really easy theres no reason to worrry
My husbands car failed the emissions test back in April and its just been sitting taking up my parking spot. I wasn’t sure if we could sell it as is or can you only sell cars that have passed the emissions test?
yes you can sell it,and make sure you sign and return emissions document stateing you have sold the car if not illinois will suspend you drivers licenses and plates

The economic recession has brought many bailout ideas, and ultimately one of the many ideas was "successful". So, instead of steadily increasing Income taxes, why not create a pollution tax? I mean, if the people are having a problem with paying mortgages, why increase income taxes and lower their actual income? The pollution tax is being enacted in England. Several Corporations are being taxed for the amount of pollution their factories create. This will not only help with the recession it will also help reduce pollution and force them to look for alternative methods of fuel.
I don’t know about taxing polluters but you have the right idea. The government would be wise to get rid of the income tax and replace it with the FairTax. Even if the revenue from the consumption tax weren’t as much as hoped for, it would
1. Force the gov’t to operate within its means
2. the loss would be partially offset by the money the gov’t saves by not having to run the IRS after American citizens every year.
I have a 1985 Nissan 300ZX and it will be 25 years old in 2009. Will I be exempt from this testing next year? There is nothing wrong with the car, but I can’t pass the inspection. Thanks.
Depends on your state. In St. Louis Mo. it used to be ‘71 and older forever. Then it went to 25 year’s old or older. 2 years later it finally went to ‘95 and older.
It’s currently still ‘95 and older are exempt. However, ‘95 and older must retain all emission components though there not tested whatsoever. The visual inspection of emission components is done during the Safety Inspection which all car’s must still go through Bi-annually.
with all the fires raging the air quality is bad. where can i get up to minute reports of the air quality?

I am doing a persuasive essay on ethanol and i needed to know what percent of air pollution comes from cars in America and i need to know how many people die from air pollution related causes in America. I also need to know how much does gas cost the average American. Thank You much!
All forms of transportation account for 14% of pollution, road transportation in itself is 9%. I don’t have specific figures for cars but if you were to say half of all road traffic pollution came from cars then you’re looking at a figure of 4.5%.
The number of deaths caused by air pollution is very difficult to estimate. Air pollution is often a contributory factor in respiratory conditions but there are other factors as well. Because everybody is breathing the same air there’s no control group with which to make comparisions. The Breath-taking report in 1996 estimated there were 64,000 deaths per year attributable to air pollution. http://www.nrdc.org/air/pollution/bt/btinx.asp
As for the price of gas - Gasbuddy puts the average cost today at $3.01 a gallon, varying from $2.82 in NJ to $3.41 in CA. http://www.gasbuddy.com/
I was thinking Ivory for a wedding the wedding dress.
I was thinking Chocolate brown bridemaid’s dresses with red (cherry red or Apple red) accents.
Flowers will be orange, yellow, and red
I’m thinking the flowers would be Alstroemeria, roses, lilies, orchids.
Place settings - Will be brown, yellow, & orange.
I know its not really that precise….I still have time till the wedding.
Those are traditional fall colors so it is perfectly acceptable to use them if you wish. It’s your wedding so you decide what the decor and colors will be.
I’m doing research for an environmental economics term paper, and I need to find a pollutant which has information in libraries and on the internet regarding total abatement costs and total damage costs. If anyone has ideas of pollutants, or links that can lead me in the right direct it would be greatly appreciated!
CO2,Methane,CO…That sort of stuff.go on wikipedia,google, yahoo and search for some.
