2. Well what is air pollution? Air pollution occurs when gasses, dust particles, fumes, smoke or odours are introduced into the atmosphere in way that it makes it harmful to humans, animals and plants. This is because air becomes dirty, contaminated or unclean. Today I am going to talk only about two treacherous effects. One Acid Rain and ground level ozone.
3. Acid rain is one hazardous effect; the phenomenon occurs when sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from the burning of fossil fuels combine with water vapour in the atmosphere and falls as rain or snow. These gasses can also be emitted from natural sources like volcanoes. Acid rain can have terrible effects on a forest. The acid takes away important minerals from the leaves and the soil.
Minerals are like vitamins for trees and plants. Without them, trees and plants cannot grow properly. They lose their leaves and become very weak. They are no longer strong enough to fight against illnesses and frost. They become very ill and can even die. Acid rain has a terrible effect on water life. Even if the acid rain does not fall straight into the lake, for example, it may enter from rivers and streams. Some of the life in the lake such as fish and plants may end up dying, because they cannot survive in acidic lakes.
