Air Pollution

Air, is the most essential element for all living organisms. Air pollution is very dangerous because it influences our health. Asthma, cancer, acid rain, and the disability to photosynthesize are only a few causes of air pollution. Many of the major atmospheric pollutants are combined.They produce the dangerous smoke and gas emission called smog.

Factories and plants pollute air and it leads to acid rains. Acid rain reduces the growth of trees and disables plants to photosynthesize. This factor destroys flora in the long term.

Air pollution is a global problem that leads to changes of climate. We should take measures to prevent the catastrophe.

Of course there are big companies which produce a lot of waste and cause most pollution. But in order to change and reduce the air pollution, everyone, even the smallest household, needs to change its attitudes and be more responsible with the limited sources. If humans would be less greedy for money and willing to ensure a safe and clean environment for the children of tomorrow, varied improvements could be made. For example big enterprises can use filters to reduce air pollution. And the authority must control this process. Everyone can start to change the situation. For example, instead of driving to the nearest shop one can ride a bicycle. We can take part in environmentally friendly organizations. We can plant trees and use recycled products. And there is no doubt that the results will be beneficial for the whole planet.
