  1. Air Pollution By: Chase Miller

  2. What does it mean? Air pollution is simply pollution to the air. It comes in two forms: point and non-point.

  3. Point Source Pollution Is a single identifiable source of air, water, thermal, noise or light pollution. Examples are: Tailpipes and smoke stacks.

  4. Non-Point Source Pollution Refers to both water and air pollution from different sources. Nonpoint source air pollution affects air quality from sources such as smokestacks or car tailpipes. Although these pollutants have originated from a point source, the long-range transport ability and multiple sources of the pollutant make it a non-point source of pollution.

  5. What does it do? Air pollution affects the earth by putting toxins into the rain and producing acid rain. Then all of those toxins go onto the ground and form ground pollution. Then from ground pollution the toxins run into lakes and from water pollution.

  6. Solutions Clean up oceangoing vessels. Cruise ships, container ships and tankers emit staggering amounts of smog-forming nitrous oxides, sulfur dioxide, and heat-trapping carbon dioxide, among them black carbon

  7. More Solutions Set laws on the amount of pollution your car can give off. This is already starting to happen in the bigger cities. This is called smog testing.
