What are the main causes and effects of air pollution?

Main causes of air pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and burning of fossil fuels. Effects of air pollution can lead to respiratory issues, cardiovascular diseases, and environmental damage such as acid rain and ozone depletion.


How is chlorofluorocarbon related to air pollution?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are chemicals used in refrigeration, aerosol propellants, and foam production that have been found to contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere. Ozone depletion can indirectly contribute to air pollution by allowing more harmful UV radiation to reach the Earth's surface. Additionally, CFCs have a high global warming potential, which can contribute to climate change and air pollution.


Why is ozone depletion more dangerous than pollution of fossils fuels?

Ozone depletion is more dangerous because it leads to a thinner ozone layer which increases the amount of harmful UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface, resulting in health problems such as skin cancer and cataracts. Pollution from fossil fuels contributes to global warming and air pollution, which can also have significant health and environmental impacts, but ozone depletion has more immediate and direct consequences.


Does factory smoke cause ozone pollution?

Factories, as spewers of water vapor and / or waste heat, reduce the thermocline that keeps water vapor out of the ozone layer, where it will reduce the equilibrium value of ozone. Most factories do not emit significant water vapor or waste heat, however... all (non-solar, non-tidal, non-wind) power plants do. And they power the factories.


Catchy title on pollution?
