AIR POLLUTION By Olga Soshina

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.

Air pollution is caused by a wide variety of things. The earth is great at cleaning the air on its own. However, air pollution has grown so much, that he earth can no longer clean all of it. This is starting to have adverse effects on the environment such as causing acid rain, smog and a wide variety of health problems. Air pollution is caused by a wide variety of things.

Combustion Engine Exhaust Cars, trucks, jet airplanes and other combustion engine vehicles cause air pollution. This type of air pollution creates smog, which causes respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer, which increases the exposure to the sun's harmful rays.

Factories Factories, office buildings, homes and power- generating stations burn fossil fuels, which cause air pollution. The burning of oil and coal (fossil fuels) also contributes to smog. This air pollution destroys plants, damages buildings and creates oxidation on iron. Factories, office buildings, homes and power- generating stations burn fossil fuels, which cause air pollution.

Air pollution is also caused by: Pesticides, which are used to kill indoor and outdoor pests Pesticides, which are used to kill indoor and outdoor pests insecticides, which are used to kill insects insecticides, which are used to kill insects herbicides, which are use to kill weeds herbicides, which are use to kill weeds

Indoor Air Pollution Sick building syndrome (SBS) is the term used when there is indoor air pollution. This happens when there is not enough ventilation to disburse the toxic fumes from new carpet, paint and/or cleaning chemicals that are used indoors. Mold can also cause SBS.

Air pollution is responsible for major health effects. Every year, the health of countless people is ruined or endangered by air pollution. Air pollution is responsible for major health effects. Every year, the health of countless people is ruined or endangered by air pollution. Many diseases could be caused by air pollution without their becoming apparent for a long time. Diseases such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and heart disease may all eventually appear in people exposed to air pollution.

How you can help to prevent Air Pollution: Save energy- try to use minimum amounts of natural gas and even electricity. Whenever possible, avoid the use of air conditioner and use a fan instead.
