it could cause a major problem in the nitrogen cycle. Future air pollution effects do not look good for North Carolina. According to Clean Air Carolina‚ “as the region grows and climate change increases the number of hot summer days‚ ground-level ozone problems are expected to worsen” (“NC’s Air Quality”). Even though the Clean Air Act is in place to monitor air pollution levels‚ that is not enough to stop the possible damage of air pollution to our earth. Turning off the light switch after leaving

the earth or the people‚ but it does the exact opposite. One problem is the hole in our ozone layer. The ozone’s purpose is to block harmful ultra violet rays from the earths surface. These UV rays can cause skin cancer and can also produce the green-house effect. The hole in the ozone layer is caused by a man made product called aerosol. In aerosol there is a thing called CEF‚ this is what eats away at the ozone. CEF’s can also be found in refrigerators . Aerosol is a product that is used in many

Oh‚ and people cannot beat the heat of Los Angeles‚ which is nearly 134 degrees due to the large hole within the ozone layer. Later a walk down to Hollywood Boulevard to get high off the emissions of the cars along with the meth addicts on the side of the rode would be fun.
