why air pollution is the worst form of pollution
Introduction
Background
what is air pollution
what causes air pollution
what happens when you breathe it in
Thesis
Air pollution is the worst form of pollution (statement) because it causes various diseases (b1), it not only humans but also animals (b2), and it effects the environment (b3)
(try 2) Air pollution is the worst form of pollution because it affects animals (b1), it affects the environment in doms day ways (b2), and it causes deadly diseases. (b3)
Hook
Imagine waking up in the morning and taking a deep breath in and you get a fresh, refreshing breeze it wakes you right up! Well, this is not possible for many people living in cities. Air pollution is a major threat to today’s growing world. Every day the rate of air pollution in the atmosphere is getting to a higher rate.
Have you ever went outside and took a deep breath in, but instead of getting a refreshing breeze you got a load of pollution? Well, I have, and you most likely have as well. This happens because air pollution is quickly becoming the most widely spread pollution.
"There's so much pollution in the air now, that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all," said Robert Orben. This statement is very true and air pollution has caused so many deaths diseases that they are uncountable now.
"Air is life... pollution is death...What if we live life like death... that's what air pollution is," said Rajat Mittal. This quote will soon become a reality if don't do something to stop it.
Paragraph 1: air pollution affects animals
Reasoning: Long-term exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer and other diseases. (diseases)

Paragraph 2: air pollution affects the environment
Reasoning: acid rain
The emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide are steadily released into the atmosphere from vehicles and factories. These substances react in the atmosphere with water, producing acids that fall as rain. Acid Rains: Natural & Human Causes: GCSE Biology Revision Notes. (2019, March 21). Retrieved October 14, 2020, from

The three main acidic gases responsible for lowering the pH of rainwater are non-metal oxides produced by the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. ... Clouds are made from water so this gas rises and dissolves in the clouds to form an acid which falls as rain. Acid rain - Acids and bases - National 4 Chemistry Revision - BBC Bitesize. (n.d.).

Most stratospheric ozone depletion is caused when chlorine or bromine reacts with ozone. Most of the chlorine entering the stratosphere is from man-made sources (84%), such as CFCs and HCFCs with the remaining 16% from natural sources, such as the ocean and volcanoes.

Reasoning: air pollution is one of the causes for global warming
Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth's surface. March 11, 2. (2020, September 30). Global Warming 101. Retrieved October 13, 2020, from

“Burning fossil fuels releases gases and chemicals into the air.” And in an especially destructive feedback loop, air pollution not only contributes to climate change but is also exacerbated by it. “Air pollution in the form of carbon dioxide and methane raises the earth's temperature,” Walke says.

Paragraph 3:pollution affects humans
Reasoning: Air pollution can also cause long-term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs.
Mechanistically, air pollution may affect the nervous system through a variety of cellular, molecular, and inflammatory pathways that either directly damage brain structures or lead to a predisposition to neurological diseases
