How to Prevent Air Pollution

There are many ways to prevent air pollution. It isn't that hard to stop air pollution all we would have to do is stop using factories and find some other way to manufacture, or only use electric\eco-friendly cars. The main thing causing air pollution is factories. This is because factories release harmful gases into to our atmosphere such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and SO2(Sulfur Dioxide). We use factories to mass produce items, accessories, etc.

When factories make products, they release harmful gases such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and SO2(Sulfur Dioxide). When CO2 is released into our atmosphere it stays in the atmosphere because it can't escape. Since it can't escape it traps in the sun's rays and heats up the Earth. When SO2 is released into our atmosphere it mixes with water and air and forms sulfuric acid. When sulfuric acid is formed it creates acid rain. Acid rain causes deforestation. It also a reason why our aquatic wildlife is dying. This is because it can hurt the animals or coral reefs.

Cars are another big source of air pollution. This because when cars are driving around, they release CO2 into the atmosphere. This why car engineers and scientists are working together to create eco-friendly cars. Electric cars also don't emit any gases. So, if you want to save our Earth maybe buy an electric or eco-friendly car. And if you own a factory limit production to save the Earth.
