What is Air Pollution, and How Does it Affect our Lives?
Air Pollution is the introduction of pollutants, that cause harm to living organisms, into the air. Air pollution has been the cause of ozone depletion, which can lead to the harm of humans, and other living organisms. Air pollution is caused by the burning of fossil fuels to make energy, gasoline burning vehicles, paint, hairspray, varnish, practically all aerosol cans, and many other things. But it isn't all us - there are also natural causes for air pollution, such as dust storms.
Here are some of the many small steps that can be taken to prevent air pollution:
- When you need to go somewhere, you can carpool with someone, bike, take a bus, walk, or drive an energy efficient vehicle.
- To light your house, use fluorescent light bulbs and turn out the lights when you're not in the room/house.
- In the summer, keep your air conditioning off, in the winter, keep the heat low.
