Air pollution is when harmful things like smoke and dust get into the air we breathe. In our course readings, we learned that one big cause of air pollution is from cars and trucks. They release smoke and gases when they use gasoline. Another cause is factories, which sometimes let out smoke and chemicals into the air while making products.
In our lectures, we talked about how things like wildfires and burning trash can also cause air pollution. Wildfires happen when trees and plants catch fire, and burning trash releases bad smells and toxic smoke.
Both the readings and the lectures help us understand how air pollution happens, but they focus on different causes. The readings mainly talk about vehicles and factories, while the lectures also include natural events like wildfires and human activities like burning garbage.
It's important to know about air pollution because it can make people sick and harm our environment. We can help by walking or riding bikes instead of using cars, and by reducing waste and recycling more. Together, we can keep our air clean and healthy!
