When+Was+the+Last+Time+You+Saw+a+Blue+Sky?

When Last did you see a blue sky? By Aaron and Ze'ev Welcome to the Time to go green's page on air pollution. Air pollution is the most killer gas in the world, it has even beaten the gas from volcanoes. In started in the 1500's in the United kingdom. This is done by smelting coals that then the steam is led up into the atmosphere, they found out by the poorer air quality in this urban area. Then it became worse when in the industrial revolution turned air pollution into the base of the cities. Since then Air pollution problems have increased dramatically until in the future where we won't be ale to breath. It's fumed out in factories, used in transport (eg. cars, planes) and your electricity and hot water run off the factories that produce it. Air pollution is the most deadly blend of  gases that has beaten volcanoes, the long time leader for more than a billion years!! In Air pollution their is gases such as: Methane, Sulphur dioxide, Gasoline, Carbon dioxide which affects the ozone layer and the air quality for human breaths. This is also affecting global warming by warming the planet before the natural cycle hits. The cases include CO2 that is very warm and harmful for humans. Then the other gases that are really hot rise into the atmosphere that heats it. This is a lot times worse than the everyday sun.

 The Kyoto accord is an international treaty that is trying to stop the Gas emission of Greenhouse Gases in the world. They have reduced the gas emission by 6% all ready and there will be much more work to be done. One of their plans are to fill one of the US states with Solar panels that will power the whole country. When you even charge your phone it’s letting off gas because the electricity is created by burning coal. Buy energy efficient appliances such as ones with bigger star rating. You can get a new efficient car because it lets less gas out which helps all of this. Or you can just use your car less and ride to school/work on a bicycle or even just walk if it is really close by.

Why is the sky never blue in China?

This graph shows the ai r quality of China. The chart shows that any AQI above 150 is unhealthy. As you can see Beijing has the highest AQI rating of 299. This was on May 24 2013 at 1:00 pm. This is a big problem since China has a big populace meaning more people may be affected. Since Beijing has an AQI above 300 it is hazardous to all. Because of this the people of Beijing have been forced to wear gas masks. The cause of air pollution is because they have to burn coal for electricity, and since there are so many people they have to generate more electricity meaning more pollution. Here is a CNN video that shows you how bad the air pollution is in China. There also is a link to a power point we made on Air Pollution in China. media type="youtube" key="Ksps_1Zwg5o" width="420" height="315"
