Have you ever heard someone say he is going outside "to get a breath of fresh air"？
Have you ever tried to imagine what life would be like if the air was so dirty that people couldn't get a breath of fresh air?
Everyone wants to know why the air has become so bad. Well,millions of cars and factories often give out waste gas. A lot of garbage is burned every day. . . Sometimes you can smell the pollution and sometimes,when the air looks smoky,you can even see it. But more often,pollution is invisible.
Whether you can see it or not,air pollution can cause a lot of damage. Not only people,but also plants,animals or buildings would suffer from it. Sometimes polluted air flies into the sky,then falls to the earth with snow,rain or dust again,and they turn the water acidic (酸的) .And indoor air pollution comes from cigarette smoke,carpet (地毡) cleaners and other ordinary household products.
Scientists have been fighting against air pollution for many years. They ask factories control the waste gas,and they have found some new ways to make the air clean. Cars have been equipped (装备) with something to give out little gas. . . As for indoor pollution,people can just open doors and windows for a while to let the fresh air in.
Thanks to different kinds of controls,the air in the United States is better than it used to be. For example,between 1975 and 1984,the amount of carbon monoxide (—氧化碳) and sulfur dioxide (二氧孑匕^ 1) in the air dropped an average of more than 30 percent. The amount of lead dropped 70 percent. Today you can go outside to "get a breath of fresh air" in more and more places in the U. S.

c Pollution means adding dirty or harmful (有害的) things to land,air,water and so on. As a result,they are no longer pleasant or safe to use. Pollution is bad for animals and plants,and it even makes people's health in danger. In our daily life,we can see different kinds of pollution in many places. There are three main forms of pollution;land pollution,air pollution and water pollution.
Land pollution is caused by solid waste,such as cans,bottles and some plastic things which aren't broken down quickly. It makes the environment look very bad. However,air pollution is more serious than land pollution. It is much worse in cities and towns because of the fumes (废气) from traffic and the waste from human (人类) activities. When people drive their cars ,fumes which are most made up of C02，N02 and S02 are given off. After the gases get into the air,they may mix with clouds. Then they will become some harmful chemicals falling on the ground with rain. It is one of the reasons for soil erosion ( 土壤侵烛) which is one example of water pollution.
Various kinds of pollution will cause many health problems. People have realized they must change this serious situation. There are many ways to control pollution. To develop alternative energy (替代能源) is very popular in many countries. China,for example,has made up its mind to be a leader in this field. It is trying hard to make full use of energy from the sun and wind. It has paid plenty of money to make electric cars and trains instead of traditional traffic. We should also take action to make our environment cleaner every day. Take cloth bags while going shopping and drive cars less. We have only one earth. We must take small steps now to help protect our environment for the future wherever we are.
