Abstract:
The atmospheric air as an object of environmental protection takes its-shaped position. Essentially it is embodied
all of the natural environment, outside a man. Atmospheric air to a large extent is a natural environment, which we
guard. On the other hand, the natural environment is first of all atmospheric air, which acts as a middleman between the
natural environment and man. If forests, animals and plans in the forest, land cover are contaminated they all are dying.
But for the atmospheric air pollution and its extent does not matter. It is always the atmospheric sphere of air, although
of a different quality.
Keywords:
