Introduction
The environmental issue I will be addressing today is air pollution. I chose this issue because the air will be polluted in places with a lot of smoke such as factories. It may harm workers of the factories, people and animals that live near the factories.
Air pollution
Air pollution is the pollution of air caused by smog, acid rain, soot, ect.
Smog is a type of large-scale outdoor pollution. It is caused by chemical reactions between pollutants derived from different sources, primarily automobile exhaust and industrial emissions. Cities are often centers of these types of activities, and many suffer from the effects of smog, especially during the warm months of the year.
When a pollutant, such as sulfuric acid combines with droplets of water in the air, the water (or snow) can become acidified . The effects of acid rain on the environment can be very serious. It damages plants by destroying their leaves, it poisons the soil, and it changes the chemistry of lakes and streams. Damage due to acid rain kills trees and harms animals, fish, and other wildlife.
Soot is a black powdery form of carbon produced when coal, wood, or oil is burned, which rises up in fine particles with the flames and smoke.
Conclusion
We can stop air pollution before people get harmed by air pollution.We must be more careful in the things we do that harm the Earth.
