What are the causes and effects of air pollution?
The primary air pollutants found in most urban areas are carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter (both solid and liquid). These pollutants are dispersed throughout the world's atmosphere in concentrations high enough to gradually cause serious health problems. Serious health problems can occur quickly when air pollutants are concentrated, such as when massive injections of sulfur dioxide and suspended particulate matter are emitted by a large volcanic eruption. That is also an example.
Causes of Air Pollution:
- noxious gasses into atmosphere
- most large industries
- motor vehicles (automobiles, airplanes, jets, rockets, etc.)
- Automobile is the leading contributor pollution in cities
- coal burning power plants
- fuel combustion
- natural fires
Effects of Air Pollution:
- large cities have smog in the air
- heath concerns (young and elderly are the easiest targets) include: Asthma, Heart disease, lung disease, itchy eyes, sinuses, scratchy throats
- atmosphere layers will be damaged and clogged by pollutants
- acid rain- pollution is combined with the air's moisture and result is acidic rain
- global warming- pollutants around atmosphere traps heat and increases the temperature

Amazing facts about noise and pollution?
Ø Noise pollution is one of the most neglected forms of pollution despite causing huge environmental damage, especially in oceans. For instance, U.S. still doesn't have some federal body that would regulate noise pollution.
Ø From birds in the sky to elephants on land to dolphins in the sea, noise pollution is threatening all types of species and altering the way in which these animals communicate, mate and even protect themselves from larger predators.
Ø Unwanted noise causes species to communicate louder which is known as Lombard effect.
Ø There are about more than 500 million cars on the planet and by 2030 it is expected to double to 1 billion cars. More cars will mean even higher levels of air and noise pollution.
Ø Noise Pollution is a contamination of the quality of the sound in the air (Example loud honking, construction sites)
What objects create pollution?
smoke dumping of solid wastes washing clothes in the river and also bathing animals
