Air Pollution

Air pollution is one of the problems in the environment. People and other animals will not die from starvation or thirst but without air we will die immediately. It affects the Respiratory system. It came from chemicals released into the air. It is mainly caused by factories, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other organic compounds and particulates.

Air pollution destroys the balance of air's components. It mainly affects the respiratory system. Breathing polluted air can make your eyes and nose burn because of the abnormal levels of the chemicals and components that should not be present in the air. Air pollution also affects the ozone layer. Chemicals released into the air reaches the atmosphere and deteriorates the ozone layer. The ones that will suffer first from air pollution are the young and elderly. Air pollution worsens body problems like asthma. Air pollution can also cause cancer. Continuous Air pollution will eventually kill all living organisms in the environment.

It is enough that we are warned about air pollution. But nothing will happen if we only decide to just see and hear these things. As individuals, we think that perhaps these might contribute to the solutions to air pollution: 

•  The government could continue promoting the campaign for clean air around the state, especially in developed and crowded areas like manila through multimedia.

• Manufacturing companies should be more responsible with their activities so that even if they cause air pollution, it is still controlled.

• Production of less pollutant cars.

• Riding bicycles, trains, or buses instead of riding your own car with fumes.

• Wise using of energy. Cutting down the use can also cut down the amount of pollution.

• The three R’s. If we consider doing these as much as possible, companies that cause pollution may slow down their activities on creating new products and so lessening the pollution.
