The Causes of Air Pollution
Air pollution is the changing composition of the air that is harmful to people.
Recently, air pollution has become a global problem that affects almost every country.
There are two main causes of air pollution: rising numbers of vehicles and increasing
factories.
The first cause of air pollution is the rising number of vehicles. Today, the
population is increasing dramatically; therefore, almost every adult has their own
automobile. Hence, the gases emitted from vehicles such as jeeps, trucks, cars, buses, and
so on pollute the environment. For example, an average car creates almost six tons of
pollutants each year, which is approximately equivalent to the weight of seven small cars.
Therefore, motor vehicles are responsible for about seventy percent of air pollution. As a
The second cause of air pollution is the increasing number of factories. Factories
make useful products, but they also make waste. Hence, toxic gases released by factories
are one type of factory waste that harms the air. For example, factories produce some
common pollutants, including nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrocarbons. These
chemicals react with sunlight to produce a haze of air pollution. Or they can mix with
moisture and cause acid rain. As a result, the growth in factory construction is a
In conclusion, toxic gases are contained in air which emited from some resouse.
The expansion of factories and the number of automobiles are the two main contributors
to air pollution. To solve air pollution, countries must work together toward a common
goal.
In conclusion, air pollution is a serious problem that has bad consequences. Both
the environment and human health are negatively impacted by air pollution. To solve air
