AIR POLLUTION What is Air Pollution? Pollution is now a common place term‚ that our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it through the mass media. Air pollution is one such form that refers to the contamination of the air‚ irrespective of indoors or outside. A physical‚ biological or chemical alteration to the air in the atmosphere can be termed as pollution. It occurs when any harmful gases‚ dust‚ smoke enters into the atmosphere and makes it difficult

damages forests to great extent. Growth of trees is affected. About ten million he heacters of forests are damaged in Europe. The ozone layer is affected by exhausts from jet aircraft. CFC (cloro fluro carbon) is a stable compounds used in aerosol propellants in sprayers refrigeration’s & for depletion of ozone layer to the extent of 3%-4%. In the last 100 years the ozone in the higher atmosphere serves as shield protecting the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation enters the earth surface & may

smothers the animal and eventually kills it. Climatic change: Coral can loose its colour or even die from a change in its climate such as a cyclone or global warming. All the pollution that humans send up into the atmosphere thins the Ozone Layer. The Ozone Layer is meant to filter out the harmful UV rays‚ but because there is now a hole in it‚ some rays get through and heat the water temperature (Global Warming). The coral cannot survive the warmer sea temperatures. Other threats: -Crown of thorns

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) Human made organic compounds containing chlorine and fluorine Attack the stratospheric ozone layer which may cause excessive exposures to UV radiation. This may increase cataracts and weaken the immune system and cause skin cancer. It may also disrupt the eco system.

Can you give me an example? Dr.H : Well ozone is one example. Ozone is a poisonous gas that can cause breathing problems. It’s very bad for asthma patients. Hisyam : These unwanted chemicals in the air. I suppose you could call them pollutants. Dr.H : Yes‚ pollutants‚ because they pollute the air. Hisyam :
