Description
The air we breathe is essential for our survival. But over the last 200 years, population growth and industrialization have begun to threaten our planet's life-giving atmosphere. This book looks at the problems of air pollution and examines various solutions to reduce the damage already caused, such as recycling, and using cleaner renewable forms of energy. Opposing viewpoints are given throughout to provide opportunities for discussion and debate.
