        • HT
          • Involves the reaction of unsaturated monomer molecules
    • Clean air
      • Atmosphere gradually changed over billions of years
        • FORMATION OF THE EARTH
          • Early atmosphere contained ammonia and carbon dioxide
            • from volcanoes
            • temperature fell = water vapour in the atmosphere condensed forming oceans
              • evolution of plants meant photosynthesis started to reduce amounts of carbon dioxide and increase the amount of oxygen in the atomsphere
      • 78% Nitrogen
      • 21% oxygen
      • 0.035% carbon dioxide
      • air pollution
        • burning fossil fuels + incomplete combustion of car engine
      • Acid  rain
        • sulphur impurities produce sulphur dioxide which dissolves in water to produce acid rain
          • kill aquatic life and plants and erode stonework and corrode metals
