pollutants, which can last for
years to centuries in the
atmosphere, trap the heat
and cause the planet to get
hotter.

When humans burn fossil

fuels, sulfur dioxide (SO2)
and nitrogen oxides (NOx)
are released into the
atmosphere. Those air
pollutants react with water,
 oxygen, and other
substances to form airborne
sulfuric and nitric acid.
Winds may spread these
acidic compounds through
the atmosphere and over
hundreds of miles. When
acid rain reaches Earth, it
flows across the surface in
runoff water, enters water
systems, and sinks into the
soil.
4.Ozone Layer Depletion Ozone depletion is primarily Reduction in plant

deplete the ozone layer.
These chemicals are found in
cleaning agents, aerosols,
insulating foam, and
refrigerants. CFCs and
halons break down into
chlorine and bromine which
in turn destroy the ozone
layer.
5.Man made disasters Terrorism/war If theres a war, business

There are cases also that
business will permanently
close if the war last a period
of time.
