If after constructing the VMOST tree for your organization you have no open questions, then you can be confident that your organization is well informed and well-aligned around your vision, mission, and strategy.

If you have any open issues from the analysis, then you should resolve these and communicate your vision, mission, and strategy again.

Many organizations have a vision, mission, and objectives but go straight to action, without having a strategy for understanding and solving difficult problems. This is the most likely area for further leadership.

Air Pollution

Type in the name of your organization.

Temperature Inversion

Structure
Is a pollution-filled layer of air that remains trapped near the Earth´s surface by a slightly warmer layer above

Smog in Los Angeles

Was yellowish with a chemical odor
So, the scientist Arie Haagen-Smit indentified two culprits

VOCs and Nitrogen oxides, which react with sunlight

Decrease yield

Damage and weaken crops

VOCs and Nitrogen oxides produce PANs and Tropospheric or ground-level ozone

Produce

Damage lung tissue

Eye irritation

Nitrogen oxides

Produced by the incomplete combustion of gas in motor vehicles

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Some are from manmade sources

Petroleum

Glues

Solvents

Some are naturally produced

Animals

Plants

Might contain

Sulfur

Chlorine

Hydrogen

Oxygen

Carbon

Exacerbate conditions

Emphysema

Asthma

Irritate

Throat

Nose

Eyes

Irritates eyes

Harm plants

There are two types, Sulfurous and Photochemical

Combine

Local weather and geography

Manmade pollution

Photochemical

Is the result of the reaction between

Volatile organic compounds

Cleaning solvents

Paints

Gasoline

Nitrogen Oxides

Is produced because

Factory emissions

Coal power plants

Car exhaust

Sunlight

Sulfurous

Made of sulfure oxides, burning coal

Produce serious health problems

Is a brown haze that reduce visibility

Greenhouse gases

More Pollen

This means more production

Because of the warm climate

Rise in mold
