Topic: Air pollution

    The article is about China and how there being invaded my the chemicals of ozone. Ozone is a type of chemical which can be both useful and harmful. It causes respiratory illness and hurts the growth of plants. Even though the US has taken action to control ozone pollution it's not enough because China's growth on ozone has been to strong for them. Willem Verstraeten used data from NASA's Auro satellite to study the earth's ozone levels and air quality over the past 5 years. Between 2005 and 2010 he found that China NOx emissions went up 21% while the US dropped 21%. The rise of emissions has made a 7% increase in ozone in the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere and above China. Lots of pollution from the east of Asia is transported down to the western North America. China's ozone pollution is far to severe that its hurting many lives even ours.

    The reason why I chose this article is because polluted air from China is coming to the US. That troubles me because I live in the US and if the US gets polluted we wont be able to breath fresh air. Also China is the most populated space there and if China gets polluted with ozone then lots of lives will be lost there. Also US relies on China's products so does many other countries/places, without China it would be a lot harder finding resources.

  This article is important to Environmental Science because one of the worlds most populated space is being polluted by ozone. What I think people should do is invade the space and leave. At least go somewhere far far away from the ozone so you wont be able to get affected by it.
