ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION AND THE EFFECTS ON HEALTH BY: MIGUEL BUKSA

CAUSES OF THE POLLUTION DESCRIPTION THE TRAFFIC Cars, planes and other vehicles are the most pollutants transports. They throw toxic gases on air, harmful for the health. FOSSIL FUEL The confort and well-being of the citizens, the factories, produced the increased use of the fossil fuel, like coal, oil… DEFORESTATION The uncontrolled cutting of trees prevents them of purifying the air meanwhile thousands of animals die. CHEMICAL PRODUCTS They are usually used in the crops to kill the bugs, and for a fast-growing efffect, it pollutes the land, and sometimes the food.

CONSEQUENCES OF THE POLLUTION THE ACID RAIN The combination of different gases, basically Sulfur dioxide (S02) and Nitrogen dioxide (N02) react with the water in the clouds and form the sulfur and nitric acid.Then, the rain falls down. THE OZONE LAYER The atmospheric pollution destroys it And the ultraviolet radiation comes trough. Causing some ilness like skin’s cancer ILNESSES POLLUTANT ILNESS SULFUR DIOXIDE Bronchitis OZONE AND OTHER PARTICLES Serious injury to the lungs CIGARETTE SMOKE Cancer
