Last blog, I wrote mainly about the causes of this planet's most serious problem, air pollution. Same as all the other problems, it leads to effects which leads to solutions. Today I'll be talking about effects of air pollution and solutions to try to solve this problem.
The most widely known effect of air pollution is the
greenhouse effect, which leads to Global Warming. As you could tell by its name, it's increase of our planet's temperature. Heat from the Sunlight goes through our planet and about 25% of heat hits the ground and reflects back out of the planet. What greenhouse effect does is that it creates a layer of greenhouse gases(co2, methane, etc) and it blocks the heat going out of the planet, making our planet warmer and warmer.
As a result, ice starts to melt in ice regions, increasing the sea level as well as its temperature. This is a serious issue as areas which have low altitude, or below the sea level, it will drown. This can directly impact humans. Some places have already drowned due to this problem, creating disastrous losses of lives, houses and land.
Air pollution can cause diseases for humans, such as lung and skin cancer. Air pollution can not only impact humans, but most every other living things in this planet. Acid rain (formed in the air) can pollute waters such as lakes and oceans,
