Me and my group in school are doing a project on climate change, pollution, etc and we would really like to know some super interesting facts. Thanks.
I made a whole speech about this so here is something.
‘40% of earth’s population’ die because of pollution. Asthma, cancer, bronchitis, and disruptions of immune systems are just some of the causes that are caused from air pollution. Also with pollution, growing crops and finding clean water are also very hard, leading to even more deaths, from starvation and poisoning. The World Health Organization says 3 million people’s deaths worldwide are caused by outdoor air pollution each year, from vehicles and industrial emissions. Polluted waters are common in developing countries and are responsible for ‘80%’ of illnesses and deaths in developing countries, and polluted land, caused by contamination from factories, fertilizers and pesticides, cause crops to fail and livestock to be sick. With polluted air, water, and land, animals get sick, and as the chemicals causing this rise up the food chain, they eventually come to us, and we actually consume the chemicals. About 70,000 chemicals are currently on the market. About 30,000 are thought never to have been tested for their effects to people.

If you fill ten thousand baloons with air from the atmosphere, less than four of them will contain carbon dioxide.
