Chapter 5: The Air Around Us

This document discusses the composition and properties of air. It is made up of several gases including oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and others. Oxygen supports burning and respiration while carbon dioxide is acidic and turns limewater chalky. Air pollution comes from sources like vehicle emissions, factories, and biomass burning and causes issues like respiratory illnesses, acid rain, and damage to plants. Maintaining clean air involves reducing smoking, using unleaded petrol, and installing filters at factories.
