In title and in origin, ‘Sources of Air Pollution’ promises to provide an informational overview of the emissions sources of air pollution. While it does list some of these sources, it’s narrative delivery is far from neutral, instead stirring the viewer to consider the heavy demands that we make upon our air every day.
Through a rousing and poetic narrator, Sources of Air Pollution has seemingly been created to alarm those watching, by reminding them of the unknown, unseen effects of chemicals which are being ‘thrown into the air’ from industrial polluters.
