ABSTRACT
We must minimize fouling of the environment. This involves ensuring the pureness of air, water, and soil. The reasons for this are to preserve health, protect the planet, and maintain our well-being. For example, pollutants in the air can cause health problems such as asthma. Pollutants (even pharmaceuticals and personal care products from manufacturing or farming) can end up in our water or soil. These can cause signi- cant health issues (Goldstein, W.E. 2014). Pollutants in our air can be chemicals or even mold spores that can also cause breathing and other problems (Goldstein, W.E. 2011). The range of pollutants normally seen in the atmosphere is shown in Table 8.1.
