Слайд 3What is Air Pollution
Air pollution refers to the presence of

dangerous or poisonous substances and chemicals in the air that

we breathe.

These substances can have harmful effects on wildlife and on human health.

Polluted air contains many different pollutants including:

carbon dioxide

carbon monoxide

greenhouse gases

soot

and many more.

methane

People with lung and breathing conditions, such as asthma are much more at risk from air pollution.

Слайд 4What Causes Air Pollution
Most air pollution is caused by the

burning of fossil fuels. There are 5 main types of

pollution. They are:

Agricultural

Transport

Industrial

Household

Waste

methane gas given off by cattle and the burning of animal waste.

the burning of engine fuels, especially diesel.

the burning of fossil fuels to heat homes and cook food.

the burning of fuels to power the factories and machines.

plastic products release dangerous chemicals, even if they are not burned.

Слайд 5How Does Air Pollution Affect Us?
The harmful substances that are

released into the air settle on plants and in water

sources. Animals eat the contaminated plants and drink the dirty water which means that the chemicals also reach us through the food chain.

Breathing in polluted air puts you at a higher risk of developing respiratory diseases, such as asthma and bronchitis. When regularly breathing in polluted air, the lungs do not function as well and become inflamed. Coughing and wheezing are a common symptom of people who live in busy, built-up cities as they are at most risk.

Слайд 6What Can Be Done?
Individually, we can all make small changes

that together will have a big impact. For example, using

a car less, turning down the heating and buying less plastic will all help to reduce air pollution.

Governments, industries and individuals can all do more to reduce air pollution.

However, in order to really improve the quality of the air that we all breathe, every country must take responsibility for the amount of pollution that they produce and take drastic action to reduce it.
