of this type is carbon dioxide. It is naturally produced when we breathe but most associated with cars‚ planes‚ and power plants. Methane‚ another greenhouse gas‚ is produced by gas emitted from swamps and livestock and causes destruction of the ozone layer. On the other hand‚ sulfur dioxide (naturally released by volcanic eruptions and the main component of smog)‚ has the opposite effect. Instead of trapping heat‚ it reflects light and keeps earth cool.

Automobile Air Pollution Efforts to improve the standard of living for humans‚ through the control of nature and the development of new products have also resulted in the pollution of the environment. Much of the world’s air‚ water‚ and land is now partially poisoned by pollution. Some places have become uninhabitable. This pollution exposes people all around the globe to new risks from disease. Many species of plants and animals have become endangered or are now extinct. The air pollution comes

The atmosphere is a complex dynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support life on planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollution has long been recognized as a threat to human health as well as to the Earth’s ecosystems. Types of Pollutants Primarily air pollutants -can be caused by primary sources or secondary sources. The pollutants that

of which can cause problems for humans‚ plants‚ and animals. There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog‚ acid rain‚ the greenhouse effect‚ and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious implications for our health and well-being as well as for the whole environment. One type of air pollution is the release of particles into the air from burning fuel for energy. Diesel smoke is a good example

EFFECTS OF VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (10244818) Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. According to EPA ’s Terms of the Environment‚ a volatile organic compound is "any organic compound that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions except those designated by EPA as having negligible photochemical reactivity." VOC can also stand for the term “volatile
