Document Summary
Airborne hazards: today we will discuss two types of air pollutants, outdoor air pollution. They are natural and manufactured: natural include forest fires, volcanoes most of them that we cannot avoid, manufactured has different kinds of industry and the burning of fossil fuels. Is a chemical gas that has three oxygen atoms combined. In cold climates the problem is not that, it is less significant. In the morning and in the evening the concentration is lower. It is logical because many urban people exercise on the street to gather with the emissions and gases and they breathe deeper, take in much more air in their lungs. 1,000 people die each year in u. s. as a result of co poisoning. If the concentration is increasing this poisoning can result in death, definite death. It is not very much dissolving water but still is partially dissolving of water and thus as a result of that some acids are formed.
