1 The Agricultural Industry and Air Pollution: An Approach to Remediation Harrison Elba

2 Agricultures Contributions  8% of total GHG 2 metric tons per person  Pesticides  Fertilizers  Manure  Soil Erosion  Burning  Feeding

3 Reducing Emissions  More efficient farming methods  More efficient fuel usage  Composting waste  Manage animal diets carefully  Reduce heat loss  Alternative energy

4 Effects of Pollutants on Crop Health  Ozone  Sulfur Dioxide  Flouride  Ammonia  Chlorine  Peroxyacetyl nitrate  Ethylene  PM

5 Drinking Water Harrison Elba

6 Methods of Delivery  Bottle  Public Water  Well Water

7 Criteria  Health and Safety  Taste  Convenience  Cost  Environmental Impact

8 Bottle  Health and Safety- Subject to FDA not EPA (less strict), leaching of plastic  Taste- dependent on location  Convenience- benefit for consumer but not logistically  Cost- 100-1000 X public water  Environmental Impact- high (plastic use, shipping)

9 Public Water  Health and Safety- EPA regulated up to meter  Taste- Point of use filtration  Convenience- pumped to point of use  Cost- low  Environmental Impact- depletion of sources, treatment plant emissions, underground construction

10 Well Water  Health and Safety- Testing and purification not regulated  Taste- due to source and effectiveness of purification  Convenience- maintenance and testing required  Cost- installation can be high but cost to operate is generally lower than city water  Environmental Impact- dependent on location and consciousness of construction
