What effect does pollution have on the atmosphere?

Answer 1

One concern is global dimming for example: soot and dust form clouds that reflect the sun rays back before they reach the earth. Another concern is global warming: carbon dioxide produced from buring fuel and many other things forms a layer around the earth that traps sun rays inside the earth and deflect them. When the sun rays travel from the sun to the earth the rays are supposed to hit the ground and bounce back to space. however, the carbon dioxide prevents the rays from being reflected back into space so the result is that the heat is contained in the atmosphere. This causes the earth to heat up much more than it is supposed to be so ice bergs are melting, sea levels are rising and the weather is changing. Also CFCs have been known for creating 'holes' in the ozone layer and these holes mean that harmful sun rays can reach planet earth. This could explain skin cancer and the dangers of sun bathing.

8. Human activity and global warming has lead to many factors of earth getting increases in temperatures yearly.

9. Global warming has been happening for the past 160 years, but will increase each year if pollution gets more serious

Answer 3

Air pollutants (depending on the pollutant in question) absorb or reflect solar radiation or thermal radiation from the Earth. They also form "seeds" on which water droplets or ice crystals can form causing changes in cloud cover or precipitation. Pollutants can be poisonous to plant and animal life.
