What removed the London smog in 1962?
It was The Clean Air Act of 1962 which only allowed smokeless fuels to be burned in open fires. Central heating wasn't widespread at that time and most people had coal fires to heat their houses and we still had manufacturing factories which belched out smoke. The word 'smog' was an amalgamation of the words 'smoke' and 'fog'.
This is a major environmental concern in Central America?
Yes, there are many environmental concerns in Central America! Central America is affected by three major environmental issues: soil degradation, air pollution, and water pollution. Countries like Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
and Brazil are suffering from the effects of air pollution. Urban development and population growth contribute to soil degradation, air pollution, and water contamination. The increasing numbers of vehicles are contributing to contaminants such as CO, PST, PM10, HC, NO2, and SO2 poising the air. Exposure to these contaminants is causing cardiovascular and respiratory illness. The growing number of refineries and the metal manufacturing industry is adding to air pollution. The water supply is being affected by the size of the cities. One form of soil degradation in Central America is salinization. Other problems include erosion and chemical soil pollution.

What is China doing to fix its pollution problem?
In the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province (3 million inhabitants), people are not allowed to drive gasoline-fueled cars and mopeds within the inner two rings of the city. This reduces smog (which can be a great problem in Chengdu since the city lies in a basin surrounded by mountains). But it also reduces traffic noise: all loud gasoline mopeds have been substituted by electric ones!
In Chengdu,the buses and taxies use the nutural gas instead of the gasoline-fueled.
UNCLOS is acknowledged to be an "umbrella convention" because most of its provisions,being of a general kind, can be implemented only through specific operative regulations in other international agreements. This is reflected in several provisions of UNCLOS which require States to "take account of", "conform to", "give effect to" or "implement" the relevant international rules and standards developed by or through the "competent international organization" (i.e. IMO). The latter are variously referred to as "applicable international rules and standards", "internationally agreed rules, standards, and recommended practices and procedures", "generally accepted international rules and standards", "generally accepted international regulations", "applicable international instruments" or "generally accepted international regulations, procedures and practices".

What are the equipments which help drinking water from pollution?
Naturally, the equipment for helping water from pollution is the Water Cycle, which moves water or makes holo water, since holo means moving.
Without the moving water or holowater, the water is not structured and is chaotic and open to pollution from bad humans and even good humans who are not cognitive enough to care enough about preventing their part of the water pollution.
Therefore, such equipment is needed to be made by man to help man change the water back to holowater or structured water and away from pollution.
These equipments can be water vortex generators, resonance chamber frequency generators and even good intention and prayer such that produces holy water for many religions proving to be quite healthy and healing and free from pollution.
Learn more about structured or holo water and you will be surprised at what you find.
