The Explanation of Natural and Man-Made Pollution

Natural Pollution

Let's talk about natural pollution. Natural pollution means pollution made from toxic air emissions from volcanoes, biological pollution, and lighting. Now you may be wondering what does toxic air emissions and biological pollution means. Toxic air emissions are like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The common source that these gases come from are volcanic eruptions or some algae and bacteria waste. Biological pollution means things like cow farts. Lighting has nothing to do with this right? No, it actually does. Lighting causes forest fires and that burns anything in it, like litter. But this isn't entirely nature’s fault, as humans put that litter there. Thanks to that, toxic air emissions are drifting away into the ozone layer, destroying it.

Man-Made Pollution

Man-made pollution is of course, made by humans. For instance, air pollution is made by burning Styrofoam. Climate change is made by all sorts of things humans do. Like littering and burning things that are made out of toxic chemicals. Man-made pollution destroys the earth’s ozone layer. Let’s say that's the earth’s clothes. The earth’s clothes protect us from the sun. Without it we would all get burned by the sun, or beaten up by the sun if we are talking about Space High School. So to summarize this, man-made pollution is bad. Very bad. It bullies the ozone layer and hurts people in the process.
