Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals‚ particulates‚ biological materials‚ or other harmful materials into the Earth’s atmosphere‚ possibly causing disease‚ death to humans‚ damage to other living organisms such as food crops‚ or the natural or built environment. The atmosphere is a complex 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

inversion‚ air pollutants cannot escape‚ so their concentration may rise to dangerous levels. The production and severity of photochemical smog‚ which can occur even without a temperature inversion‚ are amplified by that accumulation of pollutants. The reason of this is because the mountain gets the cool air beneath a less dense warm air mass. Know how photochemical smog is produced Hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide from vehicle exhausts are irradiated by sunlight in the presence of oxygen gas. The resulting

Smog‚ trash‚ and pollution are everywhere. Yet no action is taken to stop its growth Our world is home to billions of people and for millions of years life has existed and died. Those dead organisms get buried in the ground for hundreds of millions of years and turn into oil and coal that today we as humans use to power our homes and cars. However fossil fuels are very unclean and they cause huge catastrophes in our environment like global warming. A recent study by Cornell University found that

Air pollution is caused by humans. Smog and ozone layer depletion are two major causes. They are both toxics in the air that humans create and toxics that effect humans as well. Smog is caused by so many different chemicals that ranges from things like automobile exhaust to hairspray. It affects humans mainly in the circulatory and respiratory systems which are both very important and crucial to survive. Ozone layer depletion is a very serious decline of gas in the ozone layer which is bad because
