Carbon Monoxide
•colorless, odorless
•produced when carbon does
not burn in fossil fuels
•present in car exhaust
•deprives body of O2 causing headaches, fatigue, and impaired vision
•produced when coal and fuel oil are burned
•present in power plant exhaust
•narrows the airway,
Causing wheezing and
Shortness of breath,
especially
in those with asthma
Sulfur Dioxide
•reddish, brown gas
•produced when nitric
oxide combines with
oxygen in the
atmosphere
•present in car exhaust and power plants
•affects lungs and causes wheezing; increases chance of respiratory infection
Nitrogen Dioxide
•particles of
different sizes
and structures
that are released
into the
atmosphere
•present in many
sources including
fossil fuels,
dust, smoke, fog,
etc.
•can build up in respiratory system
•aggravates heart and lung disease; increases risk of respiratory infection
Particulate Matter
•irritate respiratory system and asthma; reduces lung function by inflaming and damaging lining of lungs
•at ground level, ozone is harmful pollutants
Ground Level Ozone
•at upper level, ozone shields Earth from sun’s harmful UV rays
• formed from
• car, power
• and
• Chemical
plant exhaust
Global Warming Greenhouse Effect
Acid RainThinning of Upper Ozone Layer
Global Warming is Real! It is happening Today!
Because there are more and more
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,
more heat is trapped which makes
the Earth warmer!
If the ozone layerKeeps getting
thinner, there could be
fewer and fewer plants on Earth,
then there would beless food in the
whole world.
When rain is acidic, it affects what it falls on: trees, lakes, Buildingsand farmland.
So , what should we do to stop “PEOPLE”Laughing at our Mother Earth
Witch OneWill We Choose
What should we do to save the Planet?
Solar and Electro Car vs. Regular Car
VS
REDUCEREUSE (not always:-)RECYCLE
Or Use the Bicycle
Plant More Plants And Stop Destroying The Planet !!!
Even I Want Clean Air
And Always Keep In Mind That…..
I’m Watching You!
Together We Can Do Everything
Thanks!
