Pollution can affect the atmosphere, more specifically the Ozone layer, because CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) and other chemicals react with the Ozone (O3) and turn into Chlorine monoxide (ClO) and an oxygen molecule (O2) which then starts the deterioration of the Ozone layer. Chlorine monoxide then reacts with an oxygen atom (O) and create a chlorine atom and an oxygen molecule (O2). The chlorine atom can then react with another Ozone molecule (O3) to form Chlorine monoxide (ClO) and an Oxygen molecule (O2) and the cycle continues.

What is the big deal about air pollution?
Air pollution is damaging the Earth's atmosphere. Air pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, and other materials in the Earth's atmosphere.
What are sinks of air pollution?
Any natural process by which contaminants are removed from the atmosphere.
What is the independent variable of air pollution?
I assume that when we speak of air pollution, we are describing worsening or improving conditions over time. When time changes the pollution in the atmosphere changes. Thus pollution depends on time, making time the independent variable.
Rain cause pollution?
pollution and everything else that is in the air and that is in our atmosphere
How can breeding programs reduce pollution?
Breeding programs reduce pollution in the sense that breeding programs reduce the amount of air pollution in the atmosphere and slows down CO2 production.
What is the big deal about air pollution?
Air pollution is damaging the Earth's atmosphere. Air pollution is the introduction of particulates, biological molecules, and other materials in the Earth's atmosphere.
Which ozone layer is being damaged by air pollution?
Air pollution causes global warming. This then causes ozone depletion.
Conclusion of clean air act air pollution act?
Air needs to be treated before it is released to the atmosphere to reduce air pollution.
Releasing substances in to atmosphere causes what?
air pollution
What is the relationship between air pollution and condensation?
Increasing pollution increases condensation in the atmosphere.
Who discover air pollution?
The initial discovery of air pollution is unknown. Air pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the atmosphere. In 2014, the WHO reported that about 7 million people died in 2012 because of air pollution.
What does pollution does?
Pollution is the release of environmental contaminants. The major forms of pollution include: *Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere.
When the atmosphere is contaminated by pollutant from human and natural sources it is called?
primary pollution
Which layer would have the most air pollution on the atmosphere?
The troposphere
What pollution mean?
Pollution is the release of environmental contaminants. The major forms of pollution include: *Air pollution, the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere.
Are they any volcanoes contributing to air pollution?
Most active volcanoes release sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is air pollution
How much does air pollution costs you?
Air pollution doesn't have a "cost." But it does cause Global Warming and the atmosphere getting "clogged up" so to speak.
