Prenatal air pollution exposure has adverse effects on the infant’s respiratory system. . By: Jackson Dyer, Edward Surles, . Carson Alverson, Isaac Godfrey, . Jack Bartlett, Jose Sanchez, and Noah Wagner . Pollution is the act of introducing harmful substances into the environment. This can affect the environment very harmfully like when different chemicals and different gasses interfere with nature. . What is smog?. Smog is air pollution caused by sunlight acting on the gases from automobiles and factory exhaust.. Smog often hangs over cities in the United Kingdom.. London smog happens when water in the air mixes with smoke particles from a coal fire.. 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. The smoke released from burning fuel, from factories and not to forget the motor cars are the major sources of air pollution. . Green Budget Europe Event. Dr. Aonghus McNabola. School of Engineering.
