Smog is a fog or haze combine with smoke and other atmospheric pollutants. Smog is divided into two different categories which are sulfurous and photo-chemical
Sulfurous smog - is made up of chemicals compounds called sulfur-oxides it occurs when burning surfer and burning fossil fuels such as coal.
Photo chemical - is also called ground-level- ozone is a result of the reacted between sunlight nitrogen oxide and volatile organic compounds.

Environmental crisis and background information

The environmental crisis is smog in China. Smog is formed by the atmospheric pollutants that forms smog are released in the air when fuels are burnt. when sunlight and its heat react with these gases and find particles in the atmosphere, smog is formed.
Smog is often cause by heavy traffic, high temperatures, sunshine and calm winds.
Smog can be responsible for any forms of minor pains to deadly diseases such as lung cancer.
The ground level ozone present in the smog also inhabits plants growth and causes immense damage to crops and forests.

What is the location of this crisis and what is happening in the location, and why is it a problem. Is it happening anywhere else? Why or why not?

The place of the crisis is in Beijing which is a city within china. This is a problem because scared to come out of there homes, high death rates, and also plants are dying which led to lower consumption in food. There are many other countries with this problem to such as Egypt, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.this is happening is some cases because some are close to China and the other reason because all of the nonrenewable resource that we use.

Current solutions to fix or maintain the problem.

To fix the problem the Beijing in China has
. closed 2000 factories in the cement
. founding and furniture making sectors
. shut down coal fired power plants
. reducing the production of steal and coal-fired electricity. To replace coal in china the world's biggest investment in wind and solar power.
. China has a five year plan for the winter which will provide a guide for how green development will be implemented and how it will show economic growth. this plan will reduce air pollution. this plan includes switching millions of households and same industrial users to natural gas from coal for there heating and other needs.

An evaluation of the current solutions are they effective? Why or why not? What progress has been made?

>To help with the Smog problem in China a smog free tower was created. this tower is nothing but a big vacuum that sucks in pollution and turn it into jewelry.The way this tower works is that the pollution is suck in from the top and out from the side of the tower comes the fresh clean air.
> with in some areas they place drones up in the air so they can fly place to place spraying chemicals that will freeze pollution and allow it to fall lightly on to the ground.
> Water cannons are being used to fight of smog. this water cannon can spray mist forma distance of up to 200 meters is being used to diffuse dust particles and pollutants. The cannon barrows can rotate 360 degrees to provide optimal coverage.

Refine solution to address the problem. What will you differently? What is the reason behind your change?

kevinkendrick — 2018-05-10 04:00:56 UTC

* Close industries - I would make these industries only work certain times of the day, week, and year. the reason for this change is to reduce the amount of pollution.
* have drones in the sky - I would invest in solar and wind power systems because this will help bring our polluting rate all the way down.
* Driving - I would provide transportation such as train and city buses and also make people car pull with their families and people they trust.

What outcome are you trying to Achieve?

# Lower death rates
# lower air pollution make to where its safe to breath
# Increase life expansion
# lower health problems

What are your goals?

kevinkendrick — 2018-05-10 04:16:30 UTC

@ Allow people to walk outside there homes with out a breathing mask on their face worrying about the pollution causing harm to their bodies.
@ convert to using renewable energy such as solar and wind power systems.
@ lowering the death rates and increasing the life expatiation which will increase the population.

Who are my stakeholders?why?

kevinkendrick — 2018-05-10 04:22:52 UTC

$ people who own big industries because this will allow them to gain more money once the problem is fixed.
$ farmers because this could help them receive more money and give there plants and crops a greater time to live and produce.
$ government because this could cause people to move to the area instead of leaving which would result in more tax money to continue to increase the population.
$ My employees because they be the main key to making this happen.

How do politics, legal regulations, social concerns, and the economy influence personal choice?

kevinkendrick — 2018-05-10 04:30:53 UTC

politics, legal regulations, social concerns, and the economy influence personal choice by making you second guess your decisions you make. I would get my stakeholders to all agree on a improvement plan.

Humans will impact from this?

kevinkendrick — 2018-05-10 04:35:55 UTC

@ they will live longer
# Don't have to walk around with a mask on your face just to breath
$ Death rates will drop
& more money will consumed for farmers and business owners
