The presence of chemicals in the atmosphere in concentrations high enough to harm organisms, ecosystems, or human-made materials, or to alter the climate. what is the nature of the atmosphere. We live at the bottom of a thin layer of gases surrounding the earth called the atmosphere, which is divided into smaller spherical layers. In the troposphere, the layer closest to earth, about 75-80% of the earths air mass is found here.. Air pollution . -.  Harmful gases and tiny particles (like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and . sulphur. dioxide) when released into the air pollute the air.
