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.

There are various types of harmful gases in atmosphere. Such as:
1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2): It plays a crucial role in the greenhouse effect, excessive concentrations of CO2 can contribute to global warming and climate change.
2.Ozone (O3): Ozone is beneficial as it absorbs harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ground-level ozone is a pollutant.High levels of ozone can lead to respiratory issues and harm vegetation.
3. CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons):CFCs are special chemicals that were used in things like aerosol sprays, refrigerators, and air conditioners. They were responsible for ozone depletion.
4.Methane (CH4): Methane is another greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. It is released through natural processes and human activities such as agriculture, waste management, and fossil fuel extraction.
