Passage 5:
Air pollution, as we know it today, started with the Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 19th century. In the
last few decades, it has become the major problem for our environment.
Clean air is normally made up of nitrogen (76%), oxygen (22%), carbon dioxide and a few other gases. When
harmful elements get into the air, they may cause health problems and can damage the environment, buildings
and soil. They make the ozone layer thinner and thinner and lead to the warming of the earth's atmosphere
and climate changes.
Our modem lifestyle has led to dirtier air over the years. Factories, vehicles of all kinds, the growing number
of people are some things that are responsible for air pollution today. But not all pollution in the air is caused
by people. Forest fires, dust storms and volcano eruptions can lead to the pollution of the atmosphere.
