THINNING OZONE LAYER
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
ACID RAIN
THINNING OZONE LAYER
The thinning of the ozone layer is mainly due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). Once
in the stratosphere, CFC are broken down by ultraviolet rays. As a result, the
highly reactive chlorine radicals (Cl) are release. These chlorine radicals break
down ozone molecules, O in a chain reaction.
GREENHOUSE EFFECT
The greenhouse effect is a process by which radiative energy leaving a planetary
surface is absorbed by some atmospheric gases, called greenhouse gases. They
transfer this energy to other components of the atmosphere, and it is re-radiated in
all directions, including back down towards the surface.
ACID RAIN
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. It can
have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals, and infrastructure through the
process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of compounds of
ammonium, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur which react with the water molecules in
the atmosphere to produce acids.
DISCUSSION :
Forming and implementing a car pool will reduce the number of cars,
thereby, preventing air pollution by cutting down the use of fossil fuels.
CONCLUSION :
As we know air is the most important need of living
things. When it becomes polluted, the life of humans, plants and
animals will be in danger. Air pollution means the presence of
harmful substances in the air which impure our environment. Air
Pollution gives rise to serious health hazards and responsible for
various types of life threatening diseases. Hence it is utmost
important that proper attention should be given in controlling and
minimizing those activities which causes this pollution and also
appropriate restriction should be put in place in using those
means which contributes towards it. So, save our environment
from any pollutions that can damage living things life.
