Until eighteenth century it was believed that air is just a single substance. But later it was proved that air is a mixture of many component gases. Let us know about a few of them.
We can observe some tiny shining particles moving in the beam of sunlight. These are the dust particles present in the air. The presence of dust particles in air varies from time to time and also from place to place.
We inhale air when we breathe through our nostrils. Fine hair and mucus are present inside the nose to prevent dust particles from getting into the respiratory system. Sometimes children tend to breathe air through mouth and this may cause harmful dust particles to enter into our body.
Air mostly contains nitrogen and oxygen. They both together make up to 99% of the air. The remaining 1% is constituted by carbon dioxide and a few other gases, water vapor and dust particles.
