Disgusting. In fact, about 2 million people die of air pollution a year! We need to stop air pollution. Air pollution is bad for your health, it damages our property, and causes acid rain.

Air pollution is bad for your health and can  even give you diseases. Air pollution can make you sick. It causes cancer and EVEN death. About two million people die from air pollution each year and in fact in 2012,  seven million died from air pollution! If you are around air pollution it will make your nose and eyes burn. Air pollution makes it hard to breath and that’s why people in China often wear masks. China is the most unhealthy country in the world and makes the most air pollution after the United States which is second.

Air pollution causes acid rain. Acid rain is caused when the  chemical reaction happens between sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides meet and these 2 chemicals are in air pollution. Acid rain makes it hard to breath and causes health issues. If you breath in acid rain/drink/eat it can cause permanent lung damage. Acid rain is actually what causes to damage a lot of our properties.

 

Air pollution damages are community including plants, buildings,and animals. Air pollution damages buildings and how is because of the acid rain that air pollution creates and you will learn more about that later.  Air pollution also damages rivers and lakes. Air pollution also kills animals. It also damages crops,plants,etc.

But, still without factories theres a lot of things we couldn’t make or without the cars that cause air pollution we wouldn’t have a very good way of transportation. But yet if we don’t end air pollution soon it could destroy our earth! Air pollution causes health issues, destroys are property, causes acid rain, and will kill our earth!

Too Much Air Pollution

Have you ever wondered how much smog from factories there is in the world? Here is the answer there is over about 10% in the world.  And I would like to change that because we need clean air to breath and if there too much pollution, like car smog mankind may DIE! Because smog can get into lungs and that can cause the lungs to get damaged and that can often cause sickness. Did you know a bunch air pollution can cause asthma? Well it can.

Some of the smog can go off into the air and that can cause acid rain. Acid rain is rain that is made out of acid, that can get us hurt. There can be light or strong acid rain and both can hurt us.

To help get rid of air pollution we can plant more trees to get rid of bad things in the air. You know that you don’t have to start a big group to do that? You can plant trees at your home which seem like a  little help but it can really make a change.

Did you know that a bunch of headaches, and stomach aches, are caused by car fumes. Well it is true, and factory smog can do that too. We should stand up and tell the world to stand up and not let us get sick all the time because of the fumes. Because we love going outside and taking walks in the city, but sometimes we can’t or we’ll get sick.

Do you want to be unhealthy? Do you want people dying? Think about these questions.Make the right choice and help the world.
