Air pollution in the world

Did you know, that the air in China is so bad the they have to
use a gas masks and  also have to buy canned fresh air?


Air pollution in the world has been a big problem for all of us! About 2.4 million people have died from air pollution in the past year. Pollution causes green house affects, it breaks the Ozone layer and causes us to have skin cancer.The pollution is so bad that some areas such as China have to use a gas mask to breathe in because the pollution is that life threatening. 

Everything we do makes the problem worse? Did you know that when you go for a drive your  vehicle gives off 3 kilograms of pollution and when people are working at the construction sites they give of 4% of pollution. Approximately people breathe  20,000 liters of air each day. The more we breathe the more harmful chemicals/ air pollution can go and damage your lungs. 

For the top ten carbon dioxide emissions, China, Unites States, Russia, India, Japan, Germany, United Kingdom, Canada, South Korea, and Italy.

Did you know that air pollution is on the worlds top ten killers and it is moving up everyday?

Did you know that the health risk from air pollution include heart disease and lung cancer?

Did you know that air pollution would affects kids more  then adults because we breathe more air and we go outside more often?

  2. That's why they wear those things! I've always wondered why. Anyway, what are you suggesting we do to stop pollution? I mean let's face it, we can't just abandon our cars and walk to everywhere we want to go.

    1. We could bus rather then driving and we could use electric or solar cars.

    2. Yes we could use electric or solar cars. But to produce those cars still cause pollution.

    3. Yes it does, but the solar car will reduce the pollution because when you finished building the car everyone will get them making it eco friendly.
