If we live with or even think about it air pollution is a real problem which continues to affect our environment and our lives every day. Although people living in rural areas cannot leave or that this trouble is not the smog from manufacturing plants on a daily, it is a very real trouble that affects everyone. Sometimes we just cannot dismiss this type of pollution. For example, when driving past a mill pumping clouds of smoking into the sky, or when standing in traffic exhaust fumes smell the motorcar in front of us, it’s difficult not to envisage the terms being done to our body. Even in rural areas, this smell of pollution is still obvious, however not as noticeable as if you are in a bigger city with more factories and cars.

Air pollution is composed of several types of chemical substances and gases that are befalling in our area. The main cause of this pollution is unwanted fomites. Second for the industrial manufacturing plants that discharge unclean and unsafe gasoline in the air. This type of pollution has been assorted with many types of diseases such as stroke, heart and respiratory troubles.

Air pollution is responsible for global warming. This phenomenon results in the gradual but haunting step up in temperature of our planet. It has already begun to bear upon the integral ecosystem, and unless finished, will melt icebergs which will raise the sea level. This will cause implosion therapy in areas like New York and London.

Air pollution causes the ozone layer to wither, thus reducing their ability to protect us from ultraviolet radiation. This not only causes skin cancer, but also wildlife and plant life will die from this. One obvious way to help control this is to deliver less pollution into the atmosphere, thus causing fewer plants to die, giving more natural breathable gases into the air. Another solution id the use of gullible vigor such as wind, solar, hydroelectric, geothermic and biomass, instead of using fossil fuels for free energy product, also have a major wallop on air contamination.

Since this problem seems that the only thing worse over time, and we can get to the point where they damage the surroundings irrevocably, the only logical solution is that everyone bosom ways to reduce air pollution in the hope that finally, someday, be eliminated.

Perhaps the only way this can be achieved is through instruction, although most people are familiar with air pollution and how they occur and are generally aware of its impressions, many favor to turn his head away rather than tackle this growing trouble. The only way to really subdue this problem is to commence with young people. If we can get our descendents to alter their ways of ascertaining from our errors, then perhaps there is hope for our planet and ourselves.

Education is paramount when it comes to cleaning up the atmosphere. If we begin to educate the younger generation, they will grow up with a new respect for Mother Earth. This will begin to turn the planet around and allow for more healthy air, less pollution and fewer health problems for all.

Technology has done a lot in bettering the life of man on earth in many ways. Every generation has in one way or the other benefited from the activities of the technologies. There is no generation that was static in terms of producing equipment that make for easy living. Technological invention reaches its apogee in the contemporary era. There are a number machines and automotives produced to make life easier for man. Life would have been difficult for man without these machines. However, the use of these machines has turn out to have a devastating effect on the atmosphere.

Scientists have reported that the ozone layer that protects man from the scorching heat of the sun is gradually being depleted by chemicals emitted regularly to the atmosphere by man. The consequences of the depletion of the ozone are no longer based on the report of scientists. We are seeing the effect on our everyday existence. There is nobody who will claim ignorance of the reality of climate change in the world today. This is one of the consequences of the depletion of the ozone by CFCs, released to the atmosphere by man itself. These chemicals piece the ozone the layer, creating big hole than the ones that are there already. The rays from the sun therefore come directly to our planet.

In the light of the above there is need to save the atmosphere from such negative effect of CFCs. There is increasing emphasis on the need for everybody to join hand in protecting the atmosphere. The first step in doing this is to create awareness about the ozone layer and what it does for man. If everybody knows what ozone layer is and its benefits to man, people will definitely appreciate the need for them to join hands together in protecting the atmosphere.
The gas called ozone protects the earth from the direct rays from the sun by forming a layer in the atmosphere. If not this layer the heat of the sun will get to the earth directly. When this ozone layer is depleted through the action of some chemicals man has no shelter again from the ultraviolent rays of the sun which can cause sunburn and skin cancer. There are also other negative effects of this ray from the sun.

One of the ways through which the atmosphere can be protected is through the control of emission of exhaust gas to the atmosphere. Though this may be difficult, but it can be done. Car users should try to get equipment for filtrating exhaust gas so that CFCs are not released to the atmosphere. Industries and companies using heavy machines for their services should also endeavour to use improve means of emitting exhaust gas. Nowadays, technologists have also discovered better means of controlling the emission of gas to the atmosphere. Such means should be employed by industry.

People should also buy reusable bags and items in order to make waste management easier. Effort should be made to avoid deforestation and then to encourage afforestation.

Climate change is now a topical issue in the world today. It does not concern one country but the entire world. There is no country that is not affected the problem of global warming, though some countries are more affected than others. Global warming is the dangerous consequences of civilisation and industrialization. It is largely caused by the depletion of the ozone layer by the carbon dioxide emitted regularly to the atmosphere by the industries, automotives, machines used for various reasons and also wildfire. There is need for everybody to join hand together in conserving the climate. There are means through which depletion of the ozone layer can be forestalled.

Reduction of the Emission of Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide emitted in the atmosphere on the daily basis is the major cause of the depletion of the ozone layer. This chemical pieces the ozone layer and then creating more holes in it. This leaves the earth without cover again. The ultraviolent rays from the sun enter the earth directly. These rays though can be beneficial to man to a certain, have damaging effect on man and the climate. They can cause sunburn and skin cancer. Overexposure of the body to them can also facilitate the aging process.

In the light of the above there should be effort in all corners to make sure that emission of carbon is eliminated. Good fuel that burns very well with little amount of impurities should be used. Every vehicle on the road should have exhaust filter that filters the exhaust gas. Industries also should use improved technology that addresses the issue of emission of carbon to the atmosphere. If the above measure can be taken by everybody the amount of carbon that goes into the atmosphere should be eliminated.

Afforestation

Trees are very important for man. They have a number of economic importance to man. Consequently, there is the tendency for man to cut down big trees for economic purposes. In as much as trees can be used for various reasons deforestation should be done with caution.

One of the best means of conserving the climate is through afforestation. Afforestation means planting of trees. The study of biology has revealed that trees make use of carbon dioxide just as human beings make use of oxygen. This explains why afforestation is very important in dealing with climate change. Trees store a good quantity of carbon dioxide which should have gone into the atmosphere. This is why afforestation is proffered as a solution to the problem of climate change. As trees are being cut for economic purposes they should be also replaced with new ones.

Bush Burning

In the uncivilized society where agriculture is still done with traditional means bush burning is still practiced. Some of these countries have not started practicing mechanized agriculture. Farmers still rely on bush burning as a means of clearing tick forest. Bush burning for whatever reason should not be encouraged by any government due to its effect on the atmosphere. Besides, bush burning can also lead to the elimination of endangered species.
