The most important element of continuing every life substance is having a safe environment, therefore, the arranged and naturally designed environment’s elements require to be protected from all kinds of pollutants. Toxic air pollutants which are the most harmful among other pollutants are emitted in smaller quantities but cause dangerous health effects such as cancer, birth defects, and respiratory damage. The ecological condition of rivers and streams also demonstrates the need for further improvements. According to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Rivers and Streams Assessment, most of the nation’s rivers are in the worst biological condition. And less percent of rivers are in fair and good biological conditions that are not acceptable around the world. Pollution control policies vary around the world. The most effective approaches and policies should be selected with a view toward minimizing unnecessary costs or damages and promoting technological progress in pollution control. The role of some organizations such as EPA, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Activation/Act, etc. Are elaborated in this review article with detail. In this study, it is thought that by determining the most important advantages and benefits of policies around the world, death rates can be decreased by decreasing chronic diseases.

Practicable Pollution Control Policies (Uygulanabilir Kirlilik Kontrol Politikaları)

Öz

Her yaşam maddesini sürdürmenin en önemli unsuru güvenli bir ortama sahip olmaktır, bu nedenle düzenlenmiş ve doğal olarak tasarlanmış ortam unsurlarının her türlü kirletici maddeden korunması gerekir. Diğer kirleticiler arasında en zararlı olan zehirli hava kirleticileri daha küçük miktarlarda salınır ancak kanser, doğum kusurları ve solunum hasarı gibi tehlikeli sağlık etkilerine neden olur. Nehirlerin ve akarsuların ekolojik durumu da daha fazla iyileştirme ihtiyacını göstermektedir. Çevre Koruma Ajansı'nın (EPA) Ulusal Nehirler ve Akarsular Değerlendirmesine göre, ülkedeki nehirlerin çoğu en kötü biyolojik durumdadır. Nehirlerin yüzde daha azı, dünya çapında kabul edilmeyen adil ve iyi biyolojik koşullardadır. Kirlilik kontrol politikaları dünya çapında farklılık gösterir. En etkili yaklaşımlar ve politikalar, gereksiz maliyetleri veya zararları en aza indirmeye ve kirlilik kontrolünde teknolojik ilerlemeyi teşvik etmeye yönelik bir bakış açısıyla seçilmelidir. EPA, Temiz Hava Yasası, Temiz Su Aktivasyonu / Yasası gibi bazı kuruluşların rolü bu derleme makalede ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, dünyadaki politikaların en önemli avantajları ve faydaları belirlenerek kronik hastalıkları azaltarak ölüm oranlarının azaltılabileceği düşünülmektedir.
