Rocket launches have the potential to pollute the environment
Transcript
00:00Rocket launches have the potential to pollute the environment.
00:03When rockets are launched, they release harmful chemicals and gases such as nitrogen oxides,
00:09carbon monoxide, and particulate matter into the air.
00:12This can negatively impact the ozone layer,
00:15which protects us from harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
00:19The exhaust gases released during a rocket launch may contain substances like nitrogen oxides and chlorine,
00:25which can react with the ozone layer, leading to its depletion.
00:29This can result in an increase in the amount of harmful UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface,
00:34causing adverse effects on human health and the environment.
00:38To address the environmental impact of rocket launches,
00:41some launch providers are adopting cleaner fuels and technologies.
00:45As we explore space more, we must think about how launching rockets affects the environment
00:50and make sure we protect our planet while still exploring.
