Air Pollution Causes
Though www.cleanerandgreener.org provides a plethora of information, it is easy to summarize what causes air pollution. Carbon dioxide is one of the top causes of polluted air. It originates from places like oil and chemical plants and goes directly into the air that we breathe. Carbon dioxide is also one of the key factors when it comes to reasoning for global warming. Other major causes for air pollution are fuels used for travel, whether it be a car, train or plane, and the burning of fossil fuels in big cities. Carbon monoxide, released in the air due to many human activities, is also a key component to air pollution.
