               As North America's society advance, the population increases dramatically.  To maintain and improve the current quality of living, more waste products have been produced.  These products can be NO_x which is produced by burning fossil fuel in vehicle, and thermal pollution which is produced by creating electricity, and toxic chemical which is produced by chemical plants.  These by-product emissions damage the surrounding environment. 

 The study area is in Fulton County, USA.  Fulton County is located at the north central portion of Georgia, USA.  This county is selected because pollution affects the crowed population in the area.  This project is to estimate the potential areas that are damage by pollution.  And these pollutants are produced from varies sources.  Eight major themes will be considered in result. 

 The result will be divided in three different categories.  The categories are long-term impact, immediate impact, and air emission impact by pollution.  The results from this project allows us to see the possible impacted area where resources needed to be concentrated.  Many environmental agencies will find the result useful.
