I read an article on Air Pollution from National Geographic
website. In these article it talks about the different kinds of pollution there
is. Some which are visible and others that are invisible The leading pollutant
there is are carbon dioxide and green house gases that contribute the most
pollution and also warm the earth. Although living things release carbon
dioxide when they breath, "Carbon dioxide is a pollutant when associated
with cars, plans, power plants and other human activities that involve the
burning of fossil fuels.." Because of these activities it has caused for
the levels of carbon dioxide to vastly increase over the past years. Green
house gasses include methane which come from sources such as swamps and gas
emitted by livestock. The final pollutant this article writes about is sulfur
dioxide which is a component of smog, this pollutant is associated with climate
change and is a cause of acid rain. Prior to reading this article i wasn't
aware of the different types of pollutants there is and the affect it has on
our atmosphere. I enjoyed reading this article and learning more in depth about air pollution since it has become a big problem around us.
