Air Pollution Facts

by Air Pollution Facts
(US)

Air pollution threatens the health of human beings and other living things on our planet. While often invisible, pollutants in the air create smog and acid rain, cause cancer or other serious health effects, diminish the protective ozone layer in the upper atmosphere, and contribute to the potential for world climate change.

thanks

Thanks for the link, good one. Fossil fuels not only produce nasty emissions when they are properly burned through full combustion, they also produce a raft of dangerous chemicals when there is not enough oxygen present to allow said full combustion. Have a look at lawnmowers; they alone produce up to 40 times the pollution of a car running for the same length of time. Why? Because the engine is not designed to be efficient and combust the fuel cleanly.
