Research Paper part #2: Reference List

Fairbanks Alaska is in the midst of a pollution problem that has is threatening the health of its citizens. This pollution does not come from one source, but is a culmination of several sources that, together, can cause a smog of unhealthy air in the Golden Heart City. Although this  pollution in Fairbanks has been classified as dangerous, it is not necessarily an immediate threat because of the short time span that the pollution is a problem, the small area that is affected, and the unrepresentiative methods of data collection by the environmental services.
