Limit the Pollution!

 Tall smoke stacks are designed for controlling air pollution to avoid high emission levels in the atmosphere. In the early 1970s, power plants installed these tall smoke stacks to lower the  concentrations of pollution locally. And while this may be effective in lower emissions on a local scale, there is a downside to these procedures. The installation of tall smoke stacks have not lowered total emission levels and can even pollute the air quality elsewhere. The U.S Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that 56% of boilers on tall smoke stacks do not have scrubbers and 63% do not have post-combustion controls. Scrubbers would control SO2 emissions, while post-combustion controls can control nitric oxide emissions. Climatechangeforearth urges for change. #LetsActNow and prevent the further degradation of air quality. Before it's too late.
