Air Facts
Did you know that the air we breathe is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), with small amounts of carbon dioxide, argon, and other gases? Air is essential for all living organisms, providing the oxygen needed for respiration. The Earth’s atmosphere, which is composed of layers of air, protects us from harmful solar radiation and helps regulate the planet’s temperature. Clean air is crucial for our health and well-being, and efforts to reduce pollution are vital for maintaining air quality.
