[speaker001:] yeah okay I'm sorry speaking of air pollution I'm coughing like a dog now um I'm not sure what contributes to air pollution exactly I find it hard to believe that a lot of the hair sprays and things that we use cause the air pollution and it just doesn't seem like
[speaker002:] yeah it it
[speaker001:] but I guess when you think of it everybody has some sort of aerosol in their home you know and it it's kind of dangerous
[speaker002:] yeah yeah that's true uh I don't know we live um
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] well I'm close to Salt Lake and there's mountains um you know all around but sometimes I I think tend to hold a little bit of it in you know really it's it's fairly clean
[speaker001:] um-hum oh yeah
[speaker002:] um I think it's a fairly clean city compared to some but you have quite as
[speaker001:] but you think the mountains and the are kind of a barrier hum that's a
[speaker002:] yeah I think sometimes it seems to be but
[speaker001:] that's an interesting thought
[speaker002:] but uh anyway I don't know I know there's a lot of plants here when I drive down you know along the just along the freeway there's a lot of plants that they're burning things and
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum um here in Texas I know a lot of the pretty much every place here is is relatively flat and so I would think that that would probably contribute to us not having that big of a like a smog problem or something like that I'm not sure
[speaker002:] oh uh-huh yeah we we have a real fog problem um the last few years just in through December and January it it really it is foggy and seems to just um
[speaker001:] huh
[speaker002:] it's kind of like it it just stays for a month it's quite foggy but uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] jeez I don't I don't know what else I know cars
[speaker001:] I I guess yeah I guess I've never really uh thought about the fact that like in California they they have a lot of smog problems
[speaker002:] uh-huh
[speaker001:] and it's real hilly there so that is probably something that plays a big factor I think probably just uh a lot of factories
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] um you know they have the smoke stacks I guess you call them I don't know what you call them and different things like that
[speaker002:] uh-huh yeah that's that's what I see burning a lot and I'm not exactly sure what they're burning I know uh-huh there's some oil companies and and I'm sure that that contributes a lot just the burning of the chemicals
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum aren't they supposed to be coming out with some sort of uh special gas or something that doesn't emit certain chemicals or something
[speaker002:] oh I don't know I haven't I haven't heard that I know uh I don't know how your emissions test is on your cars or anything but I know I think they they differ from state to state
[speaker001:] hum oh okay
[speaker002:] but um you know that's been a new thing in the last few years and I guess some cars are a lot worse than others I think those uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] what are they the I know a a Rabbit's one diesel the diesel cars yeah they they seem to put out quite a bit
[speaker001:] uh-huh the diesel oh yeah  I don't know a lot of people with diesels unless it's a truck you know
[speaker002:] huh oh
[speaker001:] but uh
[speaker002:] oh well do you um are you working for T I
[speaker001:] no I don't I work I work in Waco at a TV station so my mother works at TI so that's how I
[speaker002:] oh oh oh uh-huh and that's how you got involved yeah no we we have um uh my husband's sister lives in Dallas actually and they kind of got it us involved that way
[speaker001:] yeah yeah do you work at T I oh okay okay oh okay that's interesting
[speaker002:] yeah but well I don't I don't know much
[speaker001:] what else causes air pollution um noise
[speaker002:] yeah noise
[speaker001:] noise causes air pollution and noise pollution
[speaker002:] yeah I've got speaking of noise you can probably hear my little
[speaker001:] yeah that's why I thought of it I thought
[speaker002:] yes he's he is quite noisy yes jeez I don't know I know that um
[speaker001:] hum how funny
[speaker002:] don't dumps you know where you dump all your trash in the they uh yeah and I'm sure that does I know they're always churning that up and I I think they burn a lot there too I
[speaker001:] oh yeah landfills yeah we just yeah we just had a big uh thing here in Waco they're needing to open a new landfill or to expand onto the old landfill and uh it it's really been a big fight because a lot of the people that live by the landfill don't want it expanded because they're thinking that their water is going to be contaminated somehow and so they
[speaker002:] oh well yeah I don't think I'd I'd like that you know we um when we've taken things to the dump just
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] the dump that is uh you know closest to us there's some houses around there and I know that on windy days you know they're always moving the the trash over to different spots and they've got those big bulldozers and you can see the dust
[speaker001:] um-hum oh yeah um-hum
[speaker002:] flying and and I'm sure that their homes are really quite dusty and
[speaker001:] and one one of the big concerns is they have a there's a school right across the highway from the landfill yeah so the parents were really really upset
[speaker002:] oh is there worried about the their kids getting huh
[speaker001:] um-hum yeah and they've they've been fighting over it for the last year and they just now approved it so they were gonna try an appeal or something
