Hi There..

Air pollution can affect our health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects
-Examples of short-term effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.

-Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys.

Question: What would happen to our weather and climate if there were no ozone layer?
Be as thorough as you can (I need help with a weather&climate class haha). Not just the harmful affects on the people, animals, etc. because of harmful UV radiation but changes in weather and climate.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Ultra violet rays would most likely kill off all vegetation and cook your lily white a**ss like a little piggy.

Are there other, perhaps better, alternatives to these types of roofs?
Can you recommend whether or not I should get a green roof?
Does the production, use, or decay of the plants/ trees produce substance that destroy the ozone?

Fine. Go ahead and don’t believe in Global Warming, archeology, or biology. But there are other more immediate reasons to cut pollution: holes in the ozone causing cancer, smog conditions leading to increased rates of asthma and allergies, rivers with inedible fish, and the destruction of the habitats of animals that YOU enjoy hunting.

Heck, you could even be against pollution for efficiency reasons. Anytime a company dumps something in the trash or pumps it into our atmosphere it is wasted energy, just like radiant heat or vibration is wasted energy.
