India and the environment

I saw a post on BeSpacific regarding new environmental regulations in India , which triggered my memory of an article I saw in Smithsonian this month on the Ganges River and how lax enforcement of environmental regulations has caused this great river to become extremely polluted.

• India's Hazardous Materials (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules (BeSpacific, November 18, 2007)
• A Prayer for the Ganges Across India, environmentalists battle a tide of troubles to clean up a river revered as the source of life (Smithsonian, November 2007)

Air Quality Standards for Dallas/Ft. Worth Area

In an effort to improve air quality throughout the state, with an emphasis on the Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston areas, the Senate passed SB 12. It is now under consideration by the House.

Note: Hopefully this will help clean up some of the smog surrounding downtown Dallas on those hot, humid days!
