Acid gases are produced when fossil fuels like coal and oil are burned in power stations, factories and in our own homes. Most of these acid gases are blown into the sky, and when they mix with the clouds it can cause rain – or snow, sleet, fog, mist or hail – to become more acidic.
I think that this is an interesting fact because it makes me think twice about burning fossil fuels and using electricity when I don’t really need to.
500 years ago in Britain, the burning of coal was increasing in cities like London. Coal was used in factories and also used to heat homes.
Coal, when burnt makes a lot of smoke, which makes the air very dirty.
I like this because it helps me remember to try and not use energy.
The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the ‘atmosphere’, which is made up of several layers of gases. The sun is much hotter than the Earth and it gives off rays of heat (radiation) that travel through the atmosphere and reach the Earth. The rays of the sun warm the Earth, and heat from the Earth then travels back into the atmosphere.
I like this because I like learning about the sun.
The atmosphere has a number of gases, often in tiny amounts, which trap the heat given out by the Earth.
To make sure that the Earth’s temperature remains constant, the balance of these gases in the atmosphere must not be upset.

I like this fact because it tells me about energy 500 years ago
You need to breathe to stay alive. But how clean is the air you breathe? If you breathe dirty air, you are more likely to develop health problems and become ill. Plants and animals need clean air too. A lot of the things that make our lives more comfortable such as cars, electricity and heating, create bad gases which make the air dirty. The problem of air pollution started with the burning of coal in homes and factories. Dirty air is called ‘polluted air’.
I like this fact because I find it incredibly interesting and fascinating because it tells a bit about clean and dirty air.

‘Air pollution’ is what we say to describe all bad gases in the air that we breathe and that are dangerous for us. But do not worry! Not all gases are bad!
The reason I think that this fact is interesting fact because it tells you about clean and dirty air and all the polluted air!!!!

With more heat trapped on Earth, the planet will become warmer, which means the weather all over Earth will change. For example, summers will get hotter, and winters too. This may seem a good idea, but the conditions we are living in are perfect for life, and a large rise in temperature could be terrible for us and for any other living thing on Earth.
I like this fact because it makes me stop polluting because it would be awful for the earth to become extra hot, nobody would be able to stand the temperature and there would be nothing left because it will all singe.
Lemon juice, vinegar and cola are all acidic. Rain is naturally acidic, but acid gases make it even more acidic, sometimes as acid as lemon!
Nature can also produce acid gases, such as volcanoes. When they erupt, the smoke that comes out of the crater is also full of acid gases.
I like this fact because its extremely interesting and it makes me understand a bit more about pollution, how it works and to think about the environment more often.
When rain is acidic, it affects what it falls on: trees, lakes, buildings and farmland. Sometimes rain is not very acidic and does not cause a lot of problems, but when it is acidic, it can be very harmful to the environment.
I’ve chosen this fact because it tells people how bad the effects can be when it rains acid.

I like this fact because it is very cool
The ozone layer is very important because it stops too many of the sun’s ‘ultra-violet rays’ (UV rays) getting through to the Earth – these are the rays that cause our skin to tan. Too much UV can cause skin cancer and will also harm all plants and animals. Life on Earth could not exist without the protective shield of the ozone layer.
I liked this peace of information because it tells you about how it is very important about your skin in the sun and that you could get skin cancer because you could have too much UV. With a bit about how life on Earth couldn’t exist with out the protective shield.
Because of pollution in the air, acid gases from factories, cars and homes, the rain is becoming dangerous for the life of every living creature.

I find this fact interesting because it is interesting about global warming
Acid rain has a terrible effect on water life. Even if the acid rain does not fall straight into the lake, for example, it may enter from rivers and streams. Some of the life in the lake such as fish and plants may end up dying, because they cannot survive in acidic lakes.
I like this fact because it is very interesting and it tells you abut acid rain
Have you ever noticed that the air in a city smells different from air in the country? One of the reasons is that exhausts from vehicles give off fumes, or gases, which can poison you.
I have chosen this fact because it tells you what the city smells like
A lot of scientists agree that man’s activities are making the natural greenhouse effect stronger. If we carry on polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases, it will have very dangerous effects on the Earth.
I like this fact because it is very interesting cause it tells very AMAZING facts.

The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the ‘atmosphere’, which is made up of several layers. About 19-30 kilometres above the Earth is a layer of gas called ozone, which is a form of oxygen. Ozone is produced naturally in the atmosphere.

These gases are called greenhouse gases and the natural process between the sun, the atmosphere and the Earth is called the ‘Greenhouse Effect’, because it works the same way as a greenhouse. The windows of a greenhouse play the same role as the gases in the atmosphere, keeping some of the heat inside the greenhouse.
This iis interesting because it has loads of great facts in it.

My Mum says all off these posts we all put on today are extremly intresting and now she learned heaps of facts about pollution and now she knows a lot more about my topic!!!!

There are many things we can do to help reduce air pollution and global warming.
Use buses and trains instead of cars, as they can carry a lot more people in one journey. This cuts down the amount of pollution produced.
Hiya, Miss Philp Smith, Some of these facts I didn’t even no about!!! 🙂
