Air pollution
Acid rain
Historically, air pollution comes from industries and transport. Factories, power stations and cars
burn oil and coal. This rises into the air as different forms of sulphur and nitrogen. The sulphur and
nitrogen combine with water in the air to make sulphuric or nitric acid. This falls to the ground as
acid rain.
We burn large quantities of coal and oil, and this creates millions of tonnes of acid rain. The wind
carries the rain long distances, and this creates problems. One country makes acid rain, and it falls
to the ground in another country, for example, Canada gets a lot of acid rain from the USA, and
Norway gets a lot of acid rain from Britain.
The greenhouse effect
Industrial countries also cause the greenhouse effect (also called “global warming” or “climate
change”). Burning coal and oil produces carbon dioxide (CO2). The (CO2) increases in the Earth’s
atmosphere, and retains heat from the sun (it works like the glass in a greenhouse- it lets heat in,
but doesn’t let the heat out).
The Earth is getting hotter. Weather patterns are changing: some places have no water for years,
and some places have floods. When a country has no water, the effects are very hard- in Chile in
1999, the result was electricity cuts around the country. There was no water for the hydro-electric
power stations.
Ozone layer depletion
The ozone layer is a band of gas around the Earth. It protects us from dangerous ultraviolet (UV)
radiation from the sun. It is vital to human and animal survival.
Unfortunately, we are producing chemicals which destroy the ozone layer. The damage starts in
the Antarctic and spreads. Sheep in the Magallanes are becoming blind because the ozone layer is
thinner. In Australia, a lot of people are getting skin cancer from the sun.
