Many different types of pollutants are produced in our air that we humans basically are responsible for. Like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which is a natural component of air. But it is also a pollutant. By burning fossil fuels we release an average of 5.6 billion molecules of CO2 every year. But we are headed into a world where we can automatically change that number to 30 billion in a matter of years. Another pollutant is Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is a product of combustion and it is primarily made from motor vehicles. It produces many hazardous problems for us humans because it's a dangerous molecule, produces a poisonous gas, causes impaired vision and poor coordination, headaches, angina and the worst of all death. It is contributor to smog. Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) which is the burning of

In Ontario smog is produced from many different types of sources. Statistics show that 32% comes from transportation, 7% from industries, 6% from electricity, 4% comes from residential areas and 50% of the smog in Ontario comes from the USA. A (1990-2000) study shows that there has been a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Ontario government operations and 19% reduction by Canadian government operations. There's a big problem with this number. It shows that as a society we aren't applying ourselves in the manner that we want to or should. We aren't choosing the right direction thus were letting such a big topic go by as it basically means nothing to us. But it will mean something to the next three or four generations because they will have to deal with the many problems that we are headed into. Acid Rain is common but it's already a sign showing that something isn't right. Usually when something isn't right we go back, find where our mistake is and fix it, so that it is right. Why are we not fixing this problem to its fullest extent so that it doesn't get any worse? That's a question many people have asked and the answer has two factors. Not enough funding by the government and the other is a lot of people would lose their jobs because they work at plants that produce gases that help in the making of air pollution. So we now have more than one situation to deal with. This is where confusion starts to occur and decision-making is taken into factor. But it always goes in the way we would presume it would go. If you fix the problem the government would lose too much money because the government would have to pay the workers of the plant welfare money unless of course they have another job which they can afford live on. If the government doesn't fix the air pollution problem it will save money thus n
