Abstract
Our IP is about how air pollution affects our clothes. This project is a tip on our everyday lives.
SO that we could know what happens to our surroundings. Our everyday needs are very rare for
us to know our responsibility to them. It is also about our time to care about our surroundings.
This ip is a investigatory which you can know more about how can we conserve our clothes in
our everyday life, there is 5 out of ten that we use our clothes every day. We all know that
conserving our things is the best way to reproduce things. And so we came up to this ip because
we need to know why or how sunlight do affects our cloths. First we came to this kind of ip
because of our curiosity about our daily intacts. At the same time, we also want to know what
will happened when we hang up our clothes and stay directed from the sun. Well we all know
that some of us are exposed to some outdoor activities. So most of us, our clothes stayed up
directed from the sun. With the heat from the sun and other expenses around us. But for us
researchers we picked the sunlight rays only. Thats why we came up to this kind of ip. We
measured how do sunlight rays affect our cloths every day. So we made it simpler. By putting a
cloth outside and direct it from the sun
The importance of this study is for us to know how things are affected by another thing. Like this
kind of ip, the cloth and the sun, the sun affecting the cloth. We also recommend this report to
aware people, especially our country. That we are directed by the sun. for some people in the
Philippines. Like people living in Africa, India etc. they are one of the hottest place around the
world. We also recommend it to them. So that they will know in their everyday lives.

INTRODUCTION

A.

Background of the Study

When we were supposed to pass a different I.P our teacher addressed us to do a different one
because our I.P is very hard to do without a concentrated UV light on the shirt. We came up to
this kind of I.P because of our concern to clothes. Specially polluted in a certain area.

B.

Statement Of the Problem

We would like to know how dust can affect our clothes. How can air pollution take place
in our clothes. By putting the cloth in a busy road. And far from other things. So that we
can insure that the only thing harms the cloth is the air.

C. Significance of the Study

This kind of I.P is open to Air pollution. This could help us to be more aware from our
surroundings. Especially our everyday lives, some of us are sometimes exposed outside. So we
take the risk, for us to be aware from this kind of topic or I.P

D. Scope and Limitations


Use a white shirt. Place it in a box. Place in on a polluted area/busy road. Dont just hang it
anywhere you want. After 6 days you can now inspect the change. We use white shirt because,
for us to easily know the change Instead, of black, blue, red, pink, violet. 6 days is almost one
week. Place it in a box so that no other things can affect the shirt.

II. REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE

A. REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES


Air is very important for us. We breathe every sec. and so we need this in our everyday lives. Yet
this air is officially now polluted by burning fossil fuels, air from cars, from factories etc. It
damages our environment. Also causing for us to have diseases which come from the air we
breathe. Specially lung and heart disease. Sulfur Dioxide is converted into sulfur trioxide or
sulfuric acid in a humid atmosphere.

B. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE


Air is an important natural source, yet it is one that we take for granted. It can be
polluted by burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Air pollution results in when
harmful substances are released into the atmosphere. It damages the environment,
affects human health, and destroys the quality of air. It causes lung and heart disease,
eye irritation, headaches, and nausea. When coal is burned, sulphur compounds
particularly sulfur dioxide, are released into the atmosphere, Sulfur Dioxide is converted
into sulfur trioxide or sulfuric acid in a humid atmosphere

The Researchers asked four volunteers to identify the amount of dust that is collected from the six
days we used in this experiment, using a magnifying glass. Volunteer 1 said it is 2.3per mil. ,
volunteer 2 said it is 3.2per mil., volunteer 3 said it is 1.6 per mil., and volunteer 4 said it is 2.43
per mil. dust in our cloth identifying that the experiment was successful. Even though we cannot
see dust particles we must be aware that these particles can cause respiratory health problems.

B.DISCCUSSION OF THE RESULTS

XXXIV.
XXXV.
The experiment was successful. The 3.2mm2 of dust we found in the cloth were proof that the
experiment was successful. The cloth was still white but it had many particles in it that can cause
many respiratory problems like cough etc. It proved that there are many particles hanging around
the air even though they are small and looks harmless, but it causes many health

XLIX.

The IP doesnt connect to any problem while doing it. There is 97% that our IP is done
successful. While doing our IP, the process of the cloth is nearly against its surroundings. The

cloth doesnt interact with other air or heat except the sun rays only. The cloth is widely hang up
in a freely place, so that we could assure more that the sun is the only ray affecting the cloth.

All you need is;

Cloth (atleast white color, any size)

Step 1: hang up the white cloth in wide and freely place.Ensure that the only thing that interact
with the cloth is the ray of the sun.

Step 2:Wait for 6 days before you get the cloth.

Step 3: After 6 days, you will discover how the cloth was affected by the ray of the sun. Observe
it by touching, smelling and others.

LXV.

Step 4: see also that there is some small particles in the cloth. Which is t he per million particles
that we expect the cloth would have.

LXXI. Results
1. there were particles everywhere in the cloth identifying the experiment as a success.
2. The experiment did work but not as accurate as expected, but it could be much more useful if
there is a comparison
3. Our IP worked so easy in materials also the timid time in working.

LXXX. Recommendations
1. We recommend to use 100% cotton cloth for the experiment to get more accurate results.
2. We recommend to find a more polluted place where there is Smoke, Vehicles that produce
3.

carbon DIOXIDE for the cloth to get more particles.


We recommend this to others, to aware them of their clothes in their everyday lives.
4. We also recommend this, for people that always suit white clothes outdoors.

XC. Conclusion
XCI.

US RESEARCHERS THEREFORE CONCLUDE THAT THE DUST PARTICLES DOES NOT


EFFECT THE CLOTH IN ANY OTHERE WAY BUT IT ONLY CAUSED IT TO CHANGE
PHISICALY, BUT THIS PROVES EVEN THOUGH WE CANNOT SEE DUST THEY ARE
STILL AROUND US AND WE CAN STILL HAVE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND
THEREFORE CONFIRMING THE AIR AROUND IT IS POLLUTED.
