Animal must brethe to survive. The Gas that is used to survive is called OXYGEN (O2). This gas is the waste given off by plants. Another gas animals 'use' to stay alive is CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2). Yes carbon dioxide. Our breathing rate is controled by the medulla oblangata and it does so by checking the level of carbon dioxide that is present in the blood. Example. If someone is drowning and is pulled from the water and the person is not breathing it is recommended that CPR or oral resuscitation is performed. Why? The amount of CO2 that the resuscitater is breathing into the resuscitatee will trigger a reaction in the medulla oblangata that will cause the muscles of the lungs to start working again.

How do plants MOST likely change the atmosphere in a way that is beneficial for animals?
When animals exhale, they release a gas called Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which can be lethal to animals if the gas is present in large quantities. Through the process of photosynthesis plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen as a byproduct. This helps animals because they need oxygen in order to breathe.

Can you breathe polluted air why?
Many people in big cities breathe polluted air. Why? - the pollution is mixed with the air you breathe. =============================== "Can you breathe it?" is not the question you want to ask. You can breathe anything that's in the form of a gas, or particles dispersed in gas ... carbon dioxide, helium, carbon monoxide, steam, nerve gas, tobacco smoke, alpha-particle plasma, etc. For any gas, the question you want to ask is "How long can you survive while you breathe it ?" You cannot survive as long breathing polluted air as you can survive breathing clean air. In other words, polluted air kills people. Not in a minute, not in an hour, and not in a day. But people don't live as long in polluted air, and that's exactly the same as saying that polluted air kills people.
