A certain expert said” imagine if every 800 million Chinese drive a gasoline-powered automobile, the smog that accumulate in the atmosphere.” Most countries are struggling to industrialize as quickly as he can. So much carbon dioxides add to the atmosphere every day through industrialization. Carbon dioxide is a major material that causes serious air pollution. But most people do not fully understand what air pollution is serious and there are some causes and defects by air pollution. Air pollution is mainly caused by the industrialization, and three effects are; ozone depletion, global warming and endangered species.
To begin with, as the air pollution is severe, problems of ozone depletion have come up to the surface of public problem. Ozone’ layers that high above the Earth’s surface help the earth to protect the sun’s harmful rays. Most plants and animals can be exterminated and many people can be ill with skin cancer when the ozone layer is destroyed by the accumulative effect of human activity. In modern society, most people use the refrigerator for a comfortable living but it includes huge amount of CFCS as a refrigerant. Finally, 50% of the ozone layer in the Antarctic region has already been destroyed without fear and many creatures like human, animals and plants are in danger.
In addition, another factor we should consider is the global warming. Global warming is mostly caused by heavy concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. When the high concentrated carbon dioxides are in the atmosphere, radiations from the Earth’s surface cna not go away from the Earth. As a result, Earth’s average temperature gradually increase. nowaday, one third of the glacial in the Antarctic has already vanished and many island countries have sink such as Maldives and Japan because of the incresing temperature. That means sea level had been increasing gradually but this speed would be increased. According to the scientist, Maldives will be disappeared in 30 years and if sea level gradually increases as now, all the piece of land will be gone in a millennium.
Finally, the most serious problem of the air pollution is the endangered species. As sea level increases because of extremely concentrated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the land has sink and many creatures like animals and plants have lost their habitat. Deformation of the habitat leads the species extinction. For example, some scientists said that if 10% of the habitat decreases, 50% of species would be eliminated. Also, climatic change to have influences on many species. These facts clearly show that the effects of air pollution cause serious problems on the ecosystem.
In conclude, air pollution is the result of industrialization, like growing population, emission of automobiles and urbanization. This industrialization leads people face with short term and long term problems that are not only ozone depletion, global warming but also gradually degrade.
