Why is air so important?Air is necessary for the survival of all
living things. Without air, you wouldn’t even be able to breathe. You wouldn’t have protection from UV
rays and the temperature would be a lot hotter.
When you pollute, you put the life and health of all living things in danger. Exhaust gas, forest fires, industry, the combustion involved in the making of electricity, amongst other sources, are responsible for the emission of toxic gases in the atmosphere which damage the quality of air. The damaging of the quality of the air has negative effects on the health of both humans and animals, and is the cause of corrosion of vehicles, monuments and buildings. There are lots of forms of air pollution; including acid rain, smog, the destruction of the Ozone Layer, and the Greenhouse Effect. In this web-page you will find information on the destruction of the Ozone Layer, and global warming through the use of Greenhouse Gases. | Links | Guestbook |
