The layers of the atmosphere are composed of mostly nitrogen and oxygen, and act as a security blanket round the earth. The percentage of nitrogen to oxygen is the tightly woven fabric of the blanket. The atmosphere traps radiant warmth from solar beams and keeps the temperature of the planet stable: warm enough to support animal and vegetative life, and cool enough to maintain the water in the seas.

As we all know, air pollution destroys the atmosphere, and, in doing so , endangers our island earth home. Many everday activities produce air emissions that pollute our world. Energy consumption, which includes the burning of fuels such as coal, petrol, and diesel, removes oxygen to burn and replaces it with contaminants that ...
