A Spark of Science - Air Pollution

Have you ever wondered what the air we breathe is made of?

Along with gases like nitrogen and oxygen, there are also gases and particles of pollutants. Pollutants are released when we burn fossil fuels to generate electricity, to power our vehicles and to manufacture goods. Air pollution is bad for our health and the environment. Listen to find out more about air pollution.


As an educational charity, we want to continue keeping everyone inspired with science. Thank you for listening to A Spark of Science from Glasgow Science Centre.
