The Air We Share: A Pollution Problem and Finding Ways to Fix It (Books for a Better Earth collection)

This nonfiction book examines how air moves around Earth carrying seeds, scents, sounds, ash, dust, and smog. It uses three historical events to show the consequences of airborne particles: Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption, the 1935 Black Sunday dust storm, and London’s Great Smog of 1952. These examples trace how material in the air can travel across long distances and affect many people. The book also describes ways people can protect shared air.
