One of the major causes of populted air in New York City was found to be from people heating heavy oil in there boilers. Doing this causes a thick black smoke to pour out and this has a negative effect on the air quality. City officials have decided that they are going to put a regulation on how much oil the city will be able to burn in the up coming years in hope that the air in the city will clean up. In a study of the air they found that there was the highest level of high pollutants in many residentatial and commercial areas where there is oil being burned. It will cost alot to clean up the oil burners but it is something that has to be done.
I think that if it is hurting the air and the environment we should stop burning the oil. It will just keep getting worse and hurting the environment more and more.
