Ecological Support Cycle Changing
Electrovalent Bonding of similar and non-similar atoms to form gas-molecule (s) produces different elements of substance.
For example, in the combustion process of burning fossil-fuel (oil, gasoline, diesel-fuel, coal, or natural gas) in air results in unwanted airborne pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide CO, Nitric Oxide NO, Nitrogen Dioxide N02, Carbon Monoxide CO, Carbon Dioxide 2C02, Sulfur Dioxide S02, and unburned hydrocarbons ... to mention a few.
Once these chemical-oxides enters/discharged into the atmosphere surrounding Earth (see graph 950 of Figure 9-6) other chemical interactions (oxidization) may occur under the process of "Photochemical Bonding" by sunlight.
For example, when Sulfur Dioxide S02 molecule Electrovalent link up to an Oxygen 02 molecule (920) of Figure 9-3) ... forming Sulfur Trioxides 2S03 which when mixed with rain produces "Sulfuric Acid" known Worldwide as "Acid Rain".
Toxicity of these air-borne (dilution in air) chemical-oxides (907) of Figure (9-6) is/are not only endangering "Earth Ecological Support System" but in the formation of these airborne chemical-oxides by way of catalytic-action of combustion (burning) are extracting/consuming enormous amounts of free floating Oxygen 02 molecule (920) of Figure (9-3) out of the air (less than 20% now as compared to 30% prior to the Industrial Age as so determined by polar ice-cap samples) which is vital to sustain all life-forms on Earth.

These increases of airborne pollutants over the years are, also, a major contributor of decreasing Sun-Energy (photon absorption know as the "Green-House Effect") (estimated 10% reduction in some parts of the World today) which is, now, allowing the viro-germ of "Blight" to form ... killing-off forest region I plant -life around the World.
Remember, plant-life is required to convert Carbon Dioxide CO2 (910) of Figure (9-2) into liberated Oxygen 02 so that the "Breath of Life" is provided for all animal-life.
Entrapping the Oxygen 02 molecule in the chemical-oxide process of burning fossil-fuel (s) is, also, disrupting/preventing the "External Respiration Process" of plants from exchanging oxygen 02 and Carbon Dioxide 2m2 between the plant-organism and its environment in the present of sun light.
The reduction of sun light is further stunting the growth of plants while, simultaneously, causing plant respiration process cycling-rate to decline exponentially.
Worst yet, chemical-oxide airborne pollutants derived from burning fossil-fuels are chemically interacting with the Ozone layer 20 miles above Earth.
... causing ozone layer depletion
... allowing increased ultraviolet radiation originating from the sun to pass through the air troposphere
... contributing not only to changing/altering man's "Ecological Life Support System" on Earth but allowing a portion of Earth "Air Gases" to escape into outer space.
Furthermore, free-floating chemical-oxides are "Electrovalent-Bonding" to Earth ionosphere 'converting Earth Air Supply into a "Jelly-Like" substance
... entrapping moisture from air
... disrupting Earth Rain Cycle, as so illustrated in (960) of Figure (9-7).
Dispersion of radioactive/chemical biological agent (s) contaminated oil supplies coming out of the Arab Gulf War may pose another real threat to man's survival.
Inhaling radioactive exhaust fumes from contaminated Arab oil certainly would cause Lung cancer if such a deplorable situation would be allowed to exist even for a brief period of time.
