From Booklist
Gr. 4^-6. This clearly written book explores the interaction of weather and pollution. The discussion begins with a summary of the history of air pollution, from "pestilential vapors and soot" in ancient Rome to urban smog in mid-twentieth-century London to the United States' Clean Air Act of 1970. The chapters that follow present the negative effects of pollution today, the role of weather, the destruction of the ozone layer, the signs of global warming, and the future prospects for controlling air pollution. Full-color photographs and diagrams appear throughout the book. A well-balanced presentation of a (still) timely topic. Carolyn Phelan
