We are all concerned with littering, water pollution, oil spills, garbage, recycling and toxic waste, but we don't always think about our air.
Air pollution is one of the biggest concerns among pollution researchers.
One of scientists main concerns is the well being of our Ozone layer . Ozone at the ground level, which we breathe, becomes a very dangerous pollutant. Ozone is an odorless colorless gas that reacts rapidly and strongly with living cells along with fabrics, dyes, and rubbers. Ground level ozone forms when pollutants called volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides react on hot, humid, sunny days. Cars, factories, boats, lawnmowers and other gas powered equipment release the pollutants , as do lighter fluid, oil-based paints and other household products.
