The Ozone Layer Won't Last Forever!

Gases from manufacturing take 90% of air pollution but there are many different kinds of gases.(CH4, CO, CO2, NOx, O3 and SO2. Solid particles such as smoke, dust and pollen take up 10% of air pollution. For every 200 manufacturing site 5.3 million people are at risk.
