There are still people today out there living like the people who were affected in the movie Erin Brockovich. I think that a possible solution to problems like this would be considering creating landfills and factories that give off a lot of pollution farther away from urban areas. There are always surrounding areas that are just land that we should use to dispose of more toxic or negative impact materials. I don’t think there is quite an actual “solution” to solve this problem, but I definitely think there are things we can do in the meantime to try and help lessen the issues. I think that poor neighborhoods are definitely more subject to being sick and seeing the effects from the pollution then in richer neighborhoods. You never drive by and see a large mansion next to a factory sending tons of smoke and pollution into the air, rather you see a trailer park or smaller homes being affected. By putting the lesser priced homes next to the factories you are saving money because people will still want to live there because such good of a price. When going on to see who are the major polluters in my area these are the top 5 that I came across are: Munters Corporation, Precision Econwind Inc., KCS International, Action Craft, and Polymer Casting. The biggest polluter of all is Munters Corp. which seems to release a lot of Formaldehyde. This company works to create indoor climate solutions for different customers in different situations, and works to focus on humidity control.
