| Air is the mix of gases that make up the earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is the gas layer that surrounds the planet, mixes with the planet’s water, and penetrates into the soil. Air pollution comes from a change in the mix of gases, particulates, or water-based vapors that interferes directly or indirectly with human health, comfort, or safety, and can eat away at metal and stone. Air pollution can contribute to a change in the planet’s climate and impact all living creatures. | |
