•Air gives us oxygen. All things need oxygen to live. Air is 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapour and inert gases. Humans have caused a lot of air pollution by releasing substances into our air, some of which can cause problems for every human, plant, and animal.

^ These things are ^some of the pollutants that are produced into our air.

Many chemical substances contribute to air pollution. • With lots of types of air pollutants there are nitrogen oxides,

carbon monoxides, and organic compounds that can evaporate and enter the atmosphere. There are many different sources in which the substances come from. Air pollutants have sources that are both natural and human. Humans contribute way more to the air pollution problem now.

All this is in the air we breath every day you might think this isn’t contriduting to how we live each day but it is many say that air pollution is causing cancers, birth defects and a number of sicknesses are also the effect air pollution . While over 200 of these toxic chemicals have been detected in ambient air, it has been difficult to gauge the extent of potential health risks because so few communities monitor for this kind of air pollution

It Needs To Stop!!!

It is very easy to at least try to help the environment and to air we breath .Here is eleven ways you can try help.1 Step. One Consider alternative means of transportation, such as walking or bicycling. Or, try carpooling or telecommuting.2 Step. If you must drive your car, try to do all your errands at one time, one after the other. 3 Step. Refuel your car in the evening instead of during the day, when heat allows emissions in the air and from gas to form ground-level ozone. 4 Step. Avoid spilling gas. 5 Step. Keep your car in good condition. 6 Step. Look for merchants who provide delivery services to help reduce car use. 7 Step. Campaign to have your company or office provide a cafeteria or catering service (if it doesn't already have one) so that you don't have to drive from the workplace to eat lunch. 8 Step. Avoid purchasing products that come in aerosol spray cans; try solid, gel and liquid forms instead. 9 Step. Use gas-powered lawn tools as little as possible. 10 Step. Use water-based paints instead of oil and varnishes. 11 Step. Avoid using lighter fluid when barbecuing. Instead, use an electric or chimney briquette starter.
