Air Pollution
What makes Air pollution
Sulfur- It's a major air pollutant, it can be described in a terrible smell and can be detected by anyone. It's a major environmental issue, part of it is in acid rain which is damaging to our ecosystem and the people.
Nitrogen - Nitrogen is a primary source for fossil fuel causing nitrogen oxide. it could also be known as the leading air quality giving us the people issues into with our body specifically our lungs, as for the animals and the ecosystem having issues as well.
Hydrocarbon and Volatile- Is an organic compound made of a primary hydrogen and carbon atoms. This material is also found in fossil fuels specifically oil and natural gasses which comes in many forms. As for Volatile Deals evaporation that contributes to air pollution and its air quality.
O3 and the PM 2.5
When going to the documents we see that PM 2.5 is a small material known as a particular matter that is found in the air that's part of an air pollution. If we were to keep consuming this pollution were to breath it, we would have health issues particularly the lung. As for the O3, it is also known as the ozone which is the earth there that is used to protect the surface from radiation in the sun and without this, we would have major issues that's life and death on the planet. which is why we try to keep the ozone in a good air quality, so we don't face the Consequences.
