Air pollution has many effectsonthe health of both adults and children. The purpose of

pollution.

carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and other greenhouse
gases
•
carbon dioxide traps heat in
the atmosphere and causes
the temperature ofthe earth
to rise.
•
This leads to disruption of
the ... dramatic rise in the human population
This increase in population size leads to an increase in
pollution and higher demand for the world’s resources
This causes several problems
1. Burning the timber ... Burning the timber increases the level of
carbon dioxide in the air
2. Less trees means less carbon dioxide
absorbed for photosynthesis
3. Soil is eroded as it is exposed to the wind
and rain

• This process is called
