Air pollution in big cities comes from several sources. The fuels from vehicles are the main cause of pollution in our cities. The problem starts when vehicles give out bad gases, which create air pollution. These gases can be very dangerous for children. Although fuels are becoming cleaner, air quality is still affected as there are more and more cars and motorbikes on the road.
Transport is not the only reason why we have air pollution. Factories also release bad gases into the air and it causes a lot of air pollution. Less pollution today comes from coal than in the past. However air pollution remains a serious problem around the world because bad gases are being released into the air from other sources, such as cooking, household wastes, and fires.
Tạm dịch:
Ô nhiễm không khí ở các thành phố lớn đến từ nhiều nguồn. Nhiên liệu từ các phương tiện giao thông là nguyên nhân chính gây ô nhiễm ở các thành phố của chúng ta. Vấn đề bắt đầu khi các phương tiện thải ra khí độc gây ô nhiễm không khí. Những khí này có thể rất nguy hiểm cho trẻ em. Mặc dù nhiên liệu đang trở nên sạch hơn nhưng chất lượng không khí vẫn bị ảnh hưởng do ngày càng có nhiều ô tô và xe máy lưu thông trên đường.
Giao thông vận tải không phải là lý do duy nhất khiến chúng ta bị ô nhiễm không khí. Các nhà máy cũng giải phóng khí độc vào đồng air và nó gây ra ô nhiễm không khí nghiêm trọng. Ngày nay đã có ít sự ô nhiễ đến từ than đá hơn so với trước đây. Tuy nhiên, ô nhiễm không khí vẫn là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng trên toàn thế giới vì các khí độc hại đang được thải ra không khí từ các nguồn khác nữa, chẳng hạn như nấu ăn, rác thải sinh hoạt và hỏa hoạn.
