Local air quality can affect our daily lives. Like the weather, it can change from day to day. EPA developed the Air Quality Index, or AQI, to make information available about the health effects of the five most common air pollutants, and how to avoid those effects. In the booklet, Air Quality Index A Guide to Air Quality and Your Health, you will find information about these common pollutants and the AQI.

He was also acknowledged as a crystallographer, molecular biologist, and medical researcher.Pauling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century.He pioneered the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds.auling is widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century.

By Jennifer Marsh. Linus Torvalds was born in Finland and later immigrated to the United States. He went to college in Finland and got his Masterâs degree in computer science. He was named after Linus Pauling, a Nobel-prize winning chemist.Linus Torvalds is known for his creation and lead architect role for the first open-source operating system kernel. He is also known as one of the pioneers in the open-source community.inux is a Unix-based operating system that started development in 1991. Itâs continued to grow and because itâs open-source, thousands of programmers have contributed to the kernel. Linus started the project in college as an attempt to fix the dislikes of the MINIX operating system.
