| Abstract | Los Angeles is a city known for its entertainment industry, perfect weather, and smog. The yellow-brown layer of dirty air visible from virtually all areas of the region is comprised of vehicular and industrial emissions. This pollution has unhealthy consequences for the city's 15 million residents, including children. Students attending schools near freeways or other traffic-jammed throughways have an increased pollution exposure, making them particularly susceptible to developing serious health issues.; A 2003 state law prohibits school districts from building campuses within 500 feet of a freeway, and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has implemented this guideline in the building of new schools after January 1, 2008. As for existing schools located close proximity to these freeways, LAUSD is making efforts to reduce students' exposure levels. Ultimately, it is up to all of the Basin's residents to combat this pollution and improve air quality. |
