CLEAN AIR DAY

 Clean Air Day activities

In November, Poland celebrates Clean Air Day, established several years ago by the Arka Foundation in Bielsko-Biała, which works to improve air quality, among other things.

On this occasion, students from classes 7A and 7B participated in classes devoted to the problem of air pollution and its impact on human health and the environment.

At the beginning, the teacher gave a brief introduction to the main sources of pollution, such as smog, car exhaust fumes, smoke from chimneys and industrial activity. The consequences of breathing polluted air and ways of reducing harmful emissions were also discussed.

The pupils were then divided into groups and given the task of preparing short presentations on a selected topic related to air pollution. Each group could focus on a different issue, including types of smog, the impact of pollution on health, acid rain, the ozone hole, the greenhouse effect, the importance of urban greenery, and environmental measures to improve air quality. Using available materials, notes and their own knowledge, the pupils created clear and informative presentations.

After completing their work, the groups presented their results to the class, showing their posters and mind maps. Each presentation was followed by a short discussion during which the pupils asked questions and shared their observations.
