The Air we breathe is just one of many different atmospheric layers surrounding Earth. Simply stated, it is a combination of various gases that provide life-supporting oxygen to animals and humans. Many people falsely believe that Air is impermeable; however, the structures that protect it are compromised daily. Outer Space resides in the atmospheric layer that is farthest from Planet Earth. This is where our astronauts explore the Moon and other planets and have encountered some unexpected tragedies. Readers will better understand how our past explorations have affected this layer and what initiatives are being developed to remediate the situation. The Quality of AirSpace (QoAS) will efficiently inform readers about Earth's atmospheric layers, identifying the known contaminants for Air (man-made and natural) and explaining the impact of their gradient and spatial relationships. It introduces the most common pollutants, greenhouse gases (GHG), describing the source of these contaminants and remediation strategies. QoAS also addresses the work currently underway to develop policies and programs to address issues of Sustainability in global forums like the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 30). It concludes with a listing of training and volunteer options and upcoming conferences so readers can become more involved in this mission and help conserve this planet's Air.
