DAY 5: Here to Stay
Activity 1: Persistent Pollution [4 points]
In 2016, the World Health Organisation announced that Timaru, a small town in the South Island of New Zealand, had the highest recorded levels of air pollution in New Zealand. Some of this pollution was caused by natural events (eg. fires) but most of it was produced (made) by humans.
Watch this short video on air pollution. It will tell you more about natural and human causes of pollution.
On your blog, share three new things that you learned about air pollution from this video.
1) Some air pollution comes from natural sources such as volcano eruptions, log fire or even allergies.
2) Most air pollution results from human activities like energy use and Agra culture.
3) Carbone Dioxide, Methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases trap heat from the sun which leads to arising and global temperature.
