    The atmosphere of the Earth is filled with a variety of dangerous gases. The most typical ones are as follows:

    Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide (CO2). The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and agriculture are just a few of the things that release it into the atmosphere.

    Methane (CH4): Methane is another gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and is a greenhouse gas. There are many places where it is discharged into the air, including marshes, landfills, and animals.

    Nitrous oxide (N2O): The greenhouse gas nitrous oxide traps heat in the atmosphere. Agriculture, industry, and transportation are just a few of the places where it is discharged into the air.

    Ozone (O3): Ozone is a gas that is present in the stratosphere. It is advantageous since it filters off the sun’s damaging UV rays. The lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, is where ozone can also be dangerous to both human health and the environment.
