The major effects of air pollutions are greenhouse effect‚ ozone depletion and also acid rain. All these occur when there are harmful substances in the air.

atmosphere. If the ozone layer were to be gone‚ of course the planet would heat up. It is really our only protection‚ in my opinion‚ from the dangerous rays from the sun. Granted our planet is the third farthest planet from the sun‚ we still need protection. The chemicals we use‚ the exhaust fumes from vehicles and factories‚ and many other things affect this layer of protection. I have found some examples of what could possibly happen if we were to deplete our ozone any more than it already

Since the dawn of time‚ the earth has provided protection and nourishment to its inhabitants; the ozone layer providing protection from the sun’s harmful rays‚ the vast forests providing oxygen and shelter‚ the rivers and oceans providing life sustaining water. Until the industrial age‚ man’s relationship with his environment had been a beneficial one‚ in which only what was needed‚ was taken. However‚ with the advent of technology and machines‚ mankind has slowly sunk deeper into the recesses

THE EFFECT OF GLOBAL WARMING Introduction One of the most agent controversial topics that are discussed in the world is global warming. Global warming and its effects are real and various scientists unlock the past mysteries and analyze today’s activities‚ they issue warnings that the future generations will be in jeopardy. Overwhelming evidence that the world’s climate is changing due to various human activities exists. Since the industrial revolution‚ various human activities such as agriculture

polar ice caps which increases the sea level and pose danger for the people living near coastal areas. 4. Ozone Layer Depletion: Ozone layer is the thin shield high up in the sky that stops ultra violet rays from reaching the earth. As a result of human activities‚ chemicals‚ such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)‚ were released int to the atmosphere which contributed to the depletion of ozone layer.. 5.

This is caused by the use of CFC gases in aerosols‚ refrigerators and the manufacture of polystyrene foam. The ozone layer protects us from harmful ultra-violet radiation from the sun. A depletion of this layer could lead to increased skin cancer. Nuclear radiation. The fear is that accidents or sabotage at nuclear power stations could

Some of the greenhouse gases have cost a depletion in the ozone layer‚ this has caused that global warming has speed up because of the hole in the ozone layer caused by air pollution. [6] This pollution traps heat around the Earth thus causing global warming. [7] Smog is one of the forms of air pollution and one of its main components is sulfur
