Air Pollution

Air pollution is pollution of the air which can affect the health, survival, or activities of many organisms, including humans. Many of the world's large cities today have bad air quality. Even 2,000 years ago, the Romans were complaining about the bad air in their cities. Air pollution has been a danger to human health and Earth's many ecosystems for a long time.

Sources of human-made air pollution

There are many problems caused by air pollution, like greenhouse effect and acid rain. Human-made air pollution comes from many things. Most air pollution made by humans today is because of transportation. Cars, for instance, make about 60% of the humanmade air pollution in the United States. The gases inside car exhaust, like nitrogen oxide, make smog and acid rain.

Industrial air pollution

Many industrial power plants burn fossil fuels to get their energy. However, burning fossil fuels can make a lot of oxides. In fact, the burning of fossil fuels makes 96% of the sulfur oxides in the atmosphere. Some industries also make chemicals that make poisonous fumes (smoke).

Indoor air pollution

Air pollution is not only on the outside. Homes, schools, and buildings can also have air pollution. Sometimes the air inside a building is even worse than the air outside. Many things which humans use every day can pollute the air. Compounds inside carpets, paints, building materials and furniture also pollute the air, especially when they are new. In buildings where the windows are tightly shut to stop air leaks, the air inside can be polluted more than the air outside.
