The crisis of the Earth's shield: the cause of the destruction of the ozone layer

The ozone layer is an important component of the earth's atmosphere. It is located in the upper part of the stratosphere, which can filter out harmful rays from the sun and protect organisms on the earth from various radiation damage. However, due to human activities, a big hole was opened in this shield of the earth, and the ecological balance formed for thousands of years was thus broken. So, what exactly caused the breach of this important protective shield? Let us continue to look down.

Acid Rain: Nature's Weeping Tears

Acid rain is a climate problem that seriously affects the environment and ecosystems. It refers to the excessive acidity contained in precipitation (such as rain, snow or fog), which causes damage to soil, water bodies and organisms. The formation of acid rain is closely related to human activities. Perhaps everyone is familiar with the term acid rain, but what is acid rain? How is it formed? And what are its impacts on Earth's ecosystems? Let's move on.

What are fine aerosols (PM2.5)?

PM2.5
PM2.5 refers to fine particulate matter suspended in the air. Because of their very small particle size, they can easily enter the human respiratory system and deep into the lungs, causing great harm and impact on health. One of the air pollutants of concern.

What is fog? What is haze?

FOG and HAZE
In our daily life, we often encounter the phenomenon of "fog" and "haze". Both fog and haze are meteorological phenomena caused by particulate matter in the air, but their causes and characteristics are very different. Simply put, fog is naturally formed, while haze is caused by human activities. We can sum up the difference between "fog" and "haze" in one sentence, that is, "natural fog, man-made haze".
