Smog

-Smog is a type of large-scale outdoor pollution. It is caused by chemical reactions between pollutants derived from different sources. -Cities are often centers of these types of activities.

Acid rains
-Its caused when a pollutant combines with droplets of water in the air. -The effects of acid rain on the environment can be very serious.

Greenhouse effect

-It generally comes from the build up of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced when fuels are burned. -In this type of pollution sun rays go into the atmosphere and they are trapped by greenhouse-gasses. So the temperature on the earth raise.

Hole in the ozone layer -Itis another result of pollution. Chemicals released by our activities affect the stratosphere. -Releases of CFC from heating, aerosol cans, refrigerator equipment removes some of the ozone, causing "holes.

Its more dangerous than the outdoor pollution, because we do everything in enclosed environments where air circulation may be restricted. There are many sources of indoor air pollution: tabacco smoke, cooking and heating appliances, and vapors from building materials.
