Why all the fuel is dumped by shuttle before Reentry into the earth's atmosphere?

I didn't know that it was - but I would imagine they would do so to reduce the weight of the shuttle so it does not re-enter the atmosphere too quickly. If the fuel is something like liquid oxygen it would have no ill effects on the atmosphere.
== They dump fuel to reduce shuttle weight so it can decelerate faster in the Earth's atmosphere. It doesn't slow due to the dumping itself.

Some of it is from the vapors produced by the propellants in the solid rocket boosters (SRB's), but much is from the water that is dumped on the launch pad to dampen the vibrations during the launch. The SRB's combust ammonium perchlorate, aluminum, iron oxide, and a polymer. The shuttles main engines use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
