             poisonous emissions to the air would require a drastic change in the way we live.
             Due to inefficient regulatory policies, the different types of air
             pollution pose severe problems. Air pollution occurs when "gases and
             particles are combined or altered in such a way that they degrade the air and
             form substances that are harmful to humans, animals, and other living things
             (Bryner, 41)." Some air pollution is a result of natural processes such as
             forest fires, volcanoes or wind blown dust. Conversely, the majority of
             pollutants are the direct result of human interaction and misuse of our
             environment. An example of this is the loss of the whales, who for centuries
             lived in the St. Lawrence region of the Atlantic Ocean, but had to migrate due
             to the "...polluted water emptying out of the Great Lakes. They are said to be

             are technically classified as hazardous
