We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air. The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.76.
