The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increasing air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol products a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounding by high buildings. Children who live in areas that there is a lot of lead in the asmosphere cannot think as quick as other children and are clumsy when they use them hands. Ther are other long-term affects of pollution. If the gases in the asmosphere continue to increase, the earth’s climate may become warmest.
