Fine
particle pollution, commonly called
soot, causes many serious health
problems. Fine particle pollution
is also one of the few pollutants
that you can actually see.
The photos
below show Newark, N.J. (with the
New York City skyline in the background).
This view looks eastward from the
NJ Transit headquarters in Newark
toward lower Manhattan, about 10
miles away. In the foreground stands
the historic Jackson Street Bridge
over the Passaic River, connecting
the "Ironbound" section
of Newark (visible to the right and
at mid-distance) with Harrison, N.J.
(off to the left). The green capped
spire adorns St. Aloysius Catholic
Church in Newark.
