Gases in Earth’s Atmosphere that Trap
Heat: GHGs Let Sunlight Pass Through the
Atmosphere But Prevent It From Leaving

TYPES of air pollution(air pollutant types)
Air pollution
Linked to Respiratory & Cardiovascular Diseases such as Asthma
Bronchitis, Heart Attacks & Cancer, Causing Millions of Deaths.
human health
High GHG Levels Cause a Change in Weather Conditions such
as Temperature Resulting in Sea-Level Rise & Global Warming.
Climate change
Caused by CFC Gases. Ozone Layer Depletion Exposes Earth to
Harmful UV Rays Causing Skin Cancer & Damaging Crops.
Ozone depletion
Formed when Water Droplets React with Contaminants in the
Air. Acid Rain Causes Tree Erosion & Plant Growth Inhibition.
Acid Rain
Air Pollution Hinders Crop Growth by Weakening Plant’s
Photosynthesis Decreasing Crop Yield & Food Production.

the Clean Air Initiative to Encourage
Governments to Commit to Achieving
Air Quality that is Safe for Citizens &
to Align Climate & Air Pollution Policies
by 2030 Supporting SDGs 3 & 7.
