What is Science???

Science is a particular way of studying things we can observe. Science can be grouped into Biological sciences, Physical sciences and Social sciences. Biology, Ecology and Botany are the different types of Biological Sciences while Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and Earth Science are the types of Physical Sciences. Psychology and Sociology are the types of Social Sciences. The process of science is a type of research which uses the scientific method. Scientific research is used to gain knowledge by creating theories based on previous knowledge, and then testing those theories using experiments. The word science can also refer to the large amount of knowledge that has been found using this process, so far.

ir pollution is perhaps the most devastating form of pollution since it destroys a resource that every life form as we know it needs to sustain itself. The effects of this menace, both immediate and far ranging, are easy to summarize: unbreathable air. The causes, however, need some more inspection. Every citizen who drives a car that is not properly serviced and that does not have emission control devices is contributing noxious gases into the atmosphere. Large industries that do not have filtration mechanisms on their smoke stacks are also contributors. Every government which does not pass, or passes but does not enforce, strict air pollution legislation is also

destroying the atmosphere. One may wonder why these three aspects of society are so cavalier about the air they breathe.Well, there is an

underlying cause which motivates all three groups: money. Legislation and
enforcement of laws, installation and maintenance of filtration systems cost money. The majority of these three groups seems content to save a bit of money now and to sacrifice an invaluable commodity later.
