 What is "Composition of air in the environment?"

 The primary composition of air is nitrogen gas. Air is a mixture

of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapours and some
other gases. Nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and carbon dioxide
account for about 99% of the composition of air. Trace gases
include neon, methane, helium, krypton, hydrogen, xenon,
ozone, and many other elements and compounds in the
composition of air.
Composition of Air

Air is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93%

argon,0.04% carbon dioxide and other gases in meagre amounts.
Water vapour is also a constituent of air in varying amounts, along
with dust particles. The molar mass of dry air or air with no/low
quantity of water vapour in it is 28.97g/mol.
The components of air
The component of air are Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Water
Vapour. Three elements make up over 99.9 percent of the
composition of dry air: these are nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.
What is the role of air in the
environment?
 The atmosphere of Earth protects life on Earth by creating
pressure allowing for liquid water to exist on the Earth's surface,
warming the surface through heat retention, and reducing
temperature extremes between day and night. But the atmosphere
is being damaged by air pollution.
What is the importance of composition
of air?
 It provides us the air we breathe and protects us from the harmful
effects of the sun's rays. Gas such as Nitrogen is very important for
plant's survival. Oxygen is critical for survival and plays a key role
in respiration. This is defined as the process of producing energy in
living organisms. Other gases make up the final 1%, primarily
argon, at 0.9%.
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages
However, there may be some
small advantages to Composition
of air in environment:
 Air pollution helps plants
grow.
 Air pollution slows climate
change. Some pollutants we
put out heat up the Earth, like
carbon dioxide.
Disadvantages
 Conditions such as asthma, heart
disease, and lung disease can be
made worse by exposure to air
pollution.
 Like people, animals, and plants,
entire ecosystems can suffer
effects from air pollution.
 Air pollution can damage crops and
trees in a variety of ways.
