Air pollution

Air pollution comes from natural reasons and from combustion, construction, mining, agriculture

It would be impossible to stop pollution as even natural elements produce it, fires, volcanoes and cows manure. All create pollution but they are natural causes, but this is not to say that we can't seriously slow it down. Less mass beef production would produce less manure. Man made pollutants such as car fumes are one of the worst problems and even if it's the production and disposal of the vehicle that produces most of the pollution we can use more mass transit like busses and trains or undergrounds. The fuel is also a contributing factor we can drive less and use more efficient vehicles and work on cleaner fuels.

Car fumes are the main problem of air pollution in China, United States, Russia, Mexico, and Japan. Instead of getting to work or school by bus you could travel by bicycle or walk in this way we will be also fitter.


Bad air quality can kill many organisms including humans. Ozone pollution can cause a breathing disease, and congestion. Water pollution causes approximately 14,000 deaths per day, because of bad drinking water by untreated sewage in countries like Africa. Oil spills can cause skin irritation and rashes.


Each small step is what matters the most we cant fix this problem in one day but in a longer period of time we can.
The earlier we act the sooner we can make a difference
