air pollution, definition of
- Air Pollution
Carbon Pollution refers to the human produced Co2 that is meant to be harming the environment.
The trouble is Co2, in of itself, is not a pollutant, it's a critical element to the majority of life on the Earth via the Oxygen/Co2 exchange between plants and animals. Too little Co2 in the atmosphere will result in the breakdown of this cycle and asphyxiation of most life on the Earth, the critical low point is around 100 ppm (parts per million); before the recent increase in Co2, we were down to 150 ppm. At low levels of Co2 in the atmosphere plants do not thrive or grow as quickly at higher levels (this is why greenhouses pump in Co2 to speed up plant growth).EcoWho Articles where 'air pollution' used:- Is using a wood fire to heat being Green?
