Global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) – the main cause of global
warming – increased by 45 % between 1990 and 2010, and reached an

Public Health provides an expanded review of six new air quality
regulations proposed or recently adopted by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA). These include the first national standards
for reducing dangerous emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants

economic...
