AUDIO SCRIPT

There are different types of man-made air pollution. When we burn fossil fuels to produce energy, they release greenhouse gases into the air. These emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane trap heat from the sun in earth’s atmosphere and lead to a rise in global temperatures. This creates a cycle where air pollution contributes to climate change and climate change creates higher temperatures. In fact, higher temperatures make some types of air pollution worse. For example, climate change increases smog, because it forms when high heat appears. Smog is a type of air pollution that reduces visibility and has serious health effects. Smog not only creates a brown fog that reduces visibility, but also harms plants, the eyes, and causes respiratory diseases. Another category of air pollution is toxic pollution. These are chemicals such as mercury and lead that are released during burning of gasoline. In addition to harmful environmental effects, toxic air pollution can cause serious health problems such as cancer.

While air pollution has many consequences for our planet, there are solutions. We can limit toxic pollution, smog and greenhouse gases, by decreasing the use of fossil fuels such as in transportation and manufacturing. Reducing air pollution not only contributes to a cleaner environment, and better human health, but can also slow the rate of global warming.
