 Today, in most cities smoke and exhaust fumes fill the air and endanger the health and well-being of the
people. Smoke and exhaust fumes contain harmful by-products from gasoline burned in cars and from factories.
Air pollution or smog is a serious problem in some cities. Smog consists of smoke and exhaust fumes mixed
with fog. To control air pollution, smoke ordinances have been passed. Smoke-belching vehicles are checked
and factories are required to reduce fumes emanating from them.

terrified look on his face. Justin was disappointed that night as he ate his dinner.

Do you believe that extinction is forever? Let us do something to avoid similar findings. The Philippine
eagle’s population is being drastically reduced. Every year, these birds are being haunted for what? For

without proper enforcement.
