Hey mate
We cause air pollution directly through our use of electricity, fuels, and transportation.
We also cause air pollution indirectly, when we buy goods and services that use energy in their production and delivery
. Most of this air pollution we cause results from the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline to produce electricity and power our vehicles.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a good indicator of how much fossil fuel is burned and how much of other pollutants are emitted as a result.
Using carbon dioxide as an example, the average family in the United States causes air pollution in the following way
Cause
Exposure to emissions of lead, mercury, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and ozone-forming nitrogen dioxides are hazardous to public health. Toxic compounds, like mercury and lead, poison organ systems and can lead to brain damage and death
.
In parts of the country where lakes and waterways have been contaminated with mercury from electric power plants, fish are no longer safe to eat because they, too, are contaminated with heavy metal pollutants.
Other pollutants, like ozone and particulate matter, cause respiratory and other health problems, particularly in children and the elderly.
