Abstract

A Pollutant’s Tale and its primary school version, Gases in the Air, are two talks that have been developed and modified over the last ca. 18 years, that provide audiences from approximately 4-90 years old with the background to the composition of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, the Earth’s climate, and the impact of air pollution. In this article, we describe the content of the talks and provide videos of each experiment individually as well as a recorded performance of both talks to an empty auditorium. In this article, we discuss ways that the talk can be further developed and its impact on audiences.
