Merge of Los Angeles Air Pollution

[edit]

Would there be any objection to the merging of what useful information can be found at Los Angeles Air Pollution? Zujua (talk) 07:33, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been copy edited and merged into Air pollution in the United States. Is there any reason this page could not be deleted? Tadeo20 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]


Not Encyclopedic

[edit]

The section on Los Angeles and even the entire article should be rewritten in a way that is more encyclopedic. Right now most of the article sounds like a political advertisement, not actual data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.3.15 (talk) 15:37, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not correctly focused

[edit]

This article focuses more on differences between races than actual information abour Air Pollution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.183.84.209 (talk) 21:01, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Disproportionate burdens of air pollution in California to this page

[edit]

My team and I think our page, "Disproportionate burdens of air pollution in California" should be merged with this page due to overlap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbrink1 (talkcontribs) 04:06, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reduction Air Pollution.

[edit]

I want to share a possible solution to reduce atmospheric pollution caused by different industrial processes. Flavio Berthoud (talk) 14:43, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Flavio Berthoud: I am sorry but this is not a general forum to discuss air pollution or solutions to air pollution. Original research or your own personal ideas are also not suitable article content. 331dot (talk) 14:44, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Historical numbers?

[edit]

Can we find & include historic pollution levels. The article says pollution has declined slightly. I understood it has declined dramatically. The number from (say) 1970 versus now would tell the tale clearly. ''Paul, in Saudi'' (talk) 05:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources of air pollution

[edit]

This article is lacking in that it doesn't discuss what the main sources of air pollution are in the US. These include cars, power plants, industry, but also wood-burning stoves and livestock. Here's on article with links that could be useful: https://phys.org/news/2020-07-sources-deadly-air-pollution-states.html I haven't had the chance to follow up with the journal article [1] so far.
