I remember that one time I saw a documentary program on T.V about air pollution. I recognize that the world has a serious problem which will affect our environment as well as our life. Nowadays there are many real examples of air pollution and it is the biggest issue that the earth is facing. It is an important problem along with global warming, climate change and the ozone layer hole (www.atm). Here is a glance at the causes of air pollution and how it can affect us with some effective possible solutions.
Air pollution is a percentage of carbon dioxide(CO2) that is in the air which can affect all kinds of environmental life on the earth such as organisms and plants. In addition it has several natural causes like volcanoes and forest fires. Unfortunately it can be caused by human activities such as generating electricity, sprays, smoking cigarettes and riding a car which can produce a lot of carbon dioxide gas.
Also global warming has lots of negative effects which can damage our planet. The first effect is change of climate during the seasons of the year like in winter you can feel the increase of degree and feeling cold. The second important effect is the water level in the world and oceans are increasing which means sinking of the countries; it is hard to believed but it is true and some of the islands in the world already disappeared.
The ozone layer hole is caused by CO2 because it will damage the layer during some natural reactions in the weak oxygen. The human health effects of the ozone layer caused by the harmful radiation from the sun light are to get illnesses like cancer and breathing diseases (www.nas.nasa.gov). So I propose to change our mind and open our eyes to the reality because there is no other solution.
The solution is to save the environment by reducing the use of carbon dioxide by using other natural solutions. For example in the generating of electricity industry the governments can replace the huge amount of fossil fuels by using other renewable power energy like solar energy and wind energy (www.eia.doe.gov). In addition these kinds of power sources will not affect the environment because they will not produce any harmful gases. In addition the wind energy is more expensive than the solar energy, but on the other hand solar cells need a lot of maintenance because the dust stock on it. In addition the governments should make the people aware by giving them a brief idea about the air pollution.
On the other hand people are responsible for these effects because they are using a lot of carbon dioxide when they drive their own cars to go shopping or go to an work every morning. Also switch off the unused of any electrical device which is not necessary to work. Also people are cutting the main source of oxygen which is the trees.
In my opinion the governments can start to reduce the amount of carbon in the air by working hand in hand with the community. They are completing each other and they both can end these pollution issues by co-operating together.
