WHAT CAUSES AIR POLLUTION?
Bad gases from
vehicles:
Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen oxides (NOx),
Hydrocarbons, Particulates
Bad gases from
factories: Nitrogen oxides(NOx),
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)

Bad gases from burning rubbish
Bad gases from burning fuels
for energy for A.C.s, heaters, and lights

Look around you.How many sources of air pollution can you find, now?

Air pollution also occurs
naturally:
Bushfires,Vocanic eruption
And causes LOTS OF PROBLEMS

AIR POLLUTANTS CAN CAUSE…
Headaches Coughing Eye irritation Asthma Cancer … and many
more!
They can also kill plants animals

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME FAMOUS PROBLEMS THAT IS RELATED TO AIR POLLUTION… SMOG Global Warming
![Page 10: What is Air Pollution? What causes Air Pollution? What does Air Pollution do to us? How should we act?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649e3a5503460f94b2bbb8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SMOGSMOKE + FOG = SMOG
When smog hangs over a city, it becomes hard to breath and see clearly.
Beijing air on a day after rain (VS) a smoggy day

In December 1952, the Great London Smog occurred and more than 4000 people died because of the smog!

Smog is also caused by the air pollutants

GLOBAL WARMING
What do we know about Global Warming already?
What is a greenhouse? What are greenhouse gases?
![Page 14: What is Air Pollution? What causes Air Pollution? What does Air Pollution do to us? How should we act?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649e3a5503460f94b2bbb8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
This is known as…THE GLOBAL WARMING
The rays of the sun warm the Earth, and the gases in the atmosphere stop some of the heat from escaping into space.
This process is called the 'Greenhouse Effect’ because it works the same way as a greenhouse. The windows of a greenhouse work like the atmosphere, keeping some of the sun light inside the greenhouse.
When there are more and more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more heat is trapped which makes the Earth warmer.

GLOBAL WARMING
Many scientists say,
Global warming can
cause a huge lot of problems!
![Page 16: What is Air Pollution? What causes Air Pollution? What does Air Pollution do to us? How should we act?](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081511/56649e3a5503460f94b2bbb8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
GLOBAL WARMING CAN… Melt the icebergs
in the polar regions (Arctic and Antarctica)
Drown the polar bears because the icebergs melt
Cause huge floods
And many more..

WHAT CAN WE DO?
Some suggestions…
Walking or biking close distances Turn off light when leaving the room Turn off the A.C. or heaters when not
using Recycle glass bottles, jars, cans, plastic
bottles and paper
