AIR POLLUTION

Definition Effects Trivia

Air pollution is the
contamination of air due to the
presence of substances in the
atmosphere that are harmful to
the health of humans and other
living beings, or cause damage
to the climate or to materials.
There are many different types
of air pollutants, such as
gases, particulates, and
biological molecules.
Air pollution can damage crops
and trees in a variety of ways.
Ground-level ozone can lead to
reductions in agricultural crop
and commercial forest yields,
reduced growth and survivability
of tree seedlings, and increased
plant susceptibility to disease,
pests and other environmental
stresses (such as harsh
weather).
Long-term childhood
exposure to air pollution can
lead to permanently
reduced lung function. Dirty
air has been shown to affect
the development of fetuses
as well.

BURNING FOSSIL FUELS

Definition Effects Trivia

The burning of fossil fuels
refers to the burning of oil,
natural gas, and coal to
generate energy. We use this
energy to generate electricity,
and to power transportation
(for example, cars and planes)
and industrial processes.
When fossil fuels are burned,
they release large amounts of
carbon dioxide, a greenhouse
gas, into the air. Greenhouse
gases trap heat in our
atmosphere, causing global
warming.
Fossil fuels, when burned,
can be used to generate
electricity or power
vehicles. Fossil fuels cannot
be produced by humans and
must first be burned to be
used as electricity.
