Air Pollution

Different contamination or pollutants in the air which pollutes the air is known as air pollution.The pollutants which pollutes the air are dust particles,harmful gases.etc which get mixed up in the atmosphere and contaminate the air.


The reason for the air pollution is the careless human activities.Human beings have become careless and selfish and do not care for anything except themselves.There is no natural way to harm the air so, it is the humans and their deeds that harm the air.


The burning woods and timber,various chemical experiments which produces various harmful gases like carbon monoxide,sulfur dioxide etc and the gases from transport vehicles pollute the air even more and  also are degrading the environment.


Due to the air pollution green house effect is taking place and the green house gases are tearing apart the ozone layer which causes the ultra violet rays of the sun to enter the earths atmosphere which is very harmful.and the ultra violet  rays of the sun can cause skin cancer.


Various air pollutants get collected in the air and rise up in the atmosphere not only damaging the ozone but also creating smog.The satellite shots of earth where there are smog look very dark and weary.it is very bad for the environment.


Not only that the harmful gases causes global warming which is the greatest agenda in the whole world.global warming is the heating up of the earth which causes climate change. the temperature of the earth is gradually in increasing causing the snow capped mountains to melt and flooding is taking place due to excess meltdown.not only that due to the pollution the whole worlds  climate has changed a lot.


So,the air pollution has its effects on the environment but it also harms the humans as due to the pollution a lot of disease are caused like lung cancer,bronchitis,tuberculosis,etc.And some of these diseases are even non-curable.so, a lot of care must be given on solving the air pollution and humans should not be careless.
