    of light either as a glow or flame and heat. Some of the heat energy is radiated back into the fuel‚ releasing more fuel to allow the combustion process to continue. Conduction The transfer of heat energy by the movement of the heat-agitated atoms colliding with each other‚ transmitting some of the energy or heat. Convection The movement of heat energy by the agitation of air molecules reduces the density of molecules making heated air lighter than cooled air. In a heated enclosed compartment

    AIR POLLUTION [pic] Introduction The earth’s atmosphere‚ at or near sea level‚ consists approximately of 78 percent nitrogen‚ 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent other gases. If it were possible to remain in this state‚ 100 percent clean air would result. However‚ many varied sources allow other gases and particulates to mix with the clean air‚ causing our atmosphere to become unclean or polluted. Some of these pollutants are visible while others are invisible‚ with each
