We have conducted a case study about air pollution. Air pollution is one of the biggest threat to earth and our existence because air pollution effects the ozone layer in a bad way where it shrinks the thickness of the ozone layer. If the ozone layer disappear, all of the sun rays including healthy and harmful will have contact our skin and body, And will eventually kill us. Air pollution is a combination of gases that surround us in the air. Also we can call it a mixture of chemicals and gases in air which we breathe it all our lives. There are things that causes air pollution naturally and cause by humans. For an example, hurricanes where wind travels at a very high speed which result to destroying houses, schools, malls and everything in

Examples of transportations cars which burns a large amount of gasoline which is burned by the engines, trains (which are powered by fuel or charcoal) also has a big impact on the air. Air planes which consumes tons of fuel because the air planes has a high amount of octane that leads to burning a lot of fuels, air planes causes a lot of pollution because trips in air lines almost never stop. The final kind of transportation which causes air pollution are ships. Ships runs by diesel which is considered the most poisonous gas when it is burned and ships consumes thousands of tons of diesel. Electric power are responsible for more than quarter of the CO2 emissions which is estimated by 16%. For an example, in Kuwait, to generate electric power tons of gases are being burned because Kuwait does not have any other way to generate electric power like other countries in different continent. The third reason for CO2 emissions are industrials which is almost estimated 13% which is almost a quarter of the total CO2 emissions. An example for industrials are oil refineries. Oil refineries is a place where people breakdown oil to fuels and the problem with oil refineries is that a lot of oil would be not needed so the only way to get rid of it is to burn it which causes a lot of air pollution. Also another example of industrials is tires factories, when tires are no longer useable or not needed there are thrown deep into the desert or place far away from building and people then they dig a hole in the earth and then they throw the unusable tires into the hole and burn them, and tires do not burn easily and they cause a lot of smoke and it will take a lot of time to successfully burn them away. Another cause that effects the air is a residential pollution. This is a kind of cause that does not represent a large impact on the air
