Air pollution is indication of
disturbances to the composition of
compounds in the atmosphere, as it may
be summarized as shown:
-
excess emission of
gases/vapors into
atmosphere
-
saturation of
chemical
compounds/particulates
-
rate of dissipation
< (smaller than)
rate of absorption
through various
cycles (i.e. carbon
and nitrogen cycle)
-
emergence of new
chemical reactions
of reactive and
non-biodegradable
compounds.
Global warming, acid rain, smog, ozone
depletion are some effects of air
pollution.
In relation to this, we may observe the
cycle which involves in our daily lives:
carbon and nitrogen cycle.
These 2 cycles
are the most important of all,
regulating the composition of carbon and
nitrogen of Earth. Imagine the reverse
is to happen....
