Air is the mixture of fumes that fill the atmosphere, giving life to the plants and animals that make Earth such a lively place. Air is the combination of two main gases known as, nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). It also contains a few additional gases such as argon and carbon dioxide. Air pollution is air mixed with a poisonous or harmful substance. These substances are generally produced by the changing weather patterns, human interactions and environmental interactions, such as cars, factories, smoking and bush fires. Air pollution will eventually lead to the formation of acidic rain, causing crops, farms, animals and tress to be destroyed and harmed. Poor air quality can also cause many medical conditions such emphysema, asthma, chronic respiratory disease, heart disease, brain damage and also lung cancer. According to the world health organisation 4.6 million people die each year from air pollution and 3,000 of them dying in Australia.
