What is it about?
Chemicals from fossil fuel use, domestic and industrial waste products, mining and agriculture contaminate air, water and soil. Contaminant chemicals may have considerable implications for human health and safety, welfare and the value of nature. Air contaminants include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), nitrogen oxides (NO x), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC s), perfluorocarbons (PFC s) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF 6). These gases brings climate change by increasing the temperature of the earth's atmosphere and oceans. Climate change is responsible for unpredictable changes in precipitation, rising sea level and extreme climate events. Air contamination can be controlled by passing a law against harmful chemicals production, introducing special devices that reduce green houses gases, and making use of alternative sources of energy.
