We take our air for granted,
until something goes wrong.
When your bedroom is messy,
you can see it, but when the air gets messy
--polluted--we can't always see the mess.
Air pollution may be particulate matter: tiny particles
in the air that irritate our lungs and leave a fine
dust on the things they land on. Air pollution may
also be in the form of gas. Gasses can't be
seen, but some in our air are harmful
to us and to plants and animals

When the air is clean, we can breathe more easily and be more active, running and playing outdoors. (People with asthma sometimes have a
great deal of trouble breathing when the air is polluted.)
