1. That smog is a type of air pollution and that it can affect the ability of humans visibility, and different health affects. Also that smog can harm plants and cause respiratory stress to humans.2. When we burn fossils fuels to produce energy it forms green house gases and it gets released out into the air. Green house gases create a cycle of 3 different things from it. First off is climate change and so climate change creates higher temperatures, and then high temperatures can cause several different types of air pollution.
3. Climate change increases smog, from the high heat, it increases more levels of UV radiation (Ultra Violet Radiation). Climate change can also affect the rise in mold, this can have affects of extreme weather such as flooding. Flooding can majorly cause to damp and wet conditions and is highly likely at a risk of producing mold. Climate change also creates warmer weather, which can lead up to longer pollen seasons, and therefore from that there is more pollen production.
Hi there Aimee,
ReplyDeleteYou have done a fantastic job of pointing out and sharing three things that you have learnt from the video about air pollution. I can tell that you have paid close attention to it, well done!
You're absolutely correct, smog is a severe type of pollution that definitely has a negative impact on humans as well as plants. However, it is important to know that we can limit the amount of activities we do that cause more air pollution.
There are many ways we can do this. We need to be cautious of the amount of energy we are using and make the effort to try out new and more efficient sources of energy like solar power. Do you have anything in your house that uses solar energy? The old fashioned calculators have a solar panel to trap and use solar energy which I always thought was pretty awesome.
Best,
Evelyn :)
