Air Pollution
Types of Air Pollution
Air pollution can be categorized into three categories
1. Natural Air Pollution,
2. Man- made or Anthropogenic Air Pollution
3. Indoor Pollution
Natural Air Pollution:
Natural Air Pollution
caused by Natural Activities such as volcanic eruptions, Forest Fire etc.
Some other natural pollutants are organic compounds from plants, sea salt,
suspended soils and dust, Ozone. Ozone is one of the most
common natural air pollutants in nature at the global level.
Man-Made Air Pollution:
Man-made or
Anthropogenic Air Pollution caused by Human Activities such as
Industrialization, Urbanization, Transportation etc. Sulphur dioxide,
Carbon monoxide, Benzopyrene, Soot, Oxides of Nitrogen, Lead, Ammonia are
important air pollutants released from human activities.
Indoor Air Pollution:
Many people think that air pollution only consists of smog or car emissions. While these do constitute as outdoor air pollution, there is a much more dangerous kind of air pollution known as indoor air pollution.
Indoor air pollution is more hazardous than outdoor air pollution because it is a more concentrated type of pollution that is caused by inadequate ventilation, toxic products, humidity, and high temperatures. Thankfully, numerous plants clean the air.
What Causes Air
Pollution?
Air pollution refers to the contamination of our air with harmful gases and particulates. Globally, 9 out of 10 people breathe polluted air but many people are unaware of the potential health and environmental impacts of poor air quality.
Here’s what you need to know. Air pollution is caused when harmful gases and chemicals are released into the air. These pollutants include Particulate Matter (very small particles that get into our respiratory system), nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide. The majority of these pollutants are emitted through human activities like burning fossil fuel, vehicle exhaust fumes and emissions from agriculture and industry.
1. Sulphur Dioxide
2. Carbon
monoxide
3. Benzopyrene
4. Soot
5. Oxides
of Nitrogen
6. Lead
7. Ammonia
Soot is released from unburned fuel and benzopyran
released from cigarette smoke
Effects of Air Pollution
Greenhouse effect:
Heavy industrialization and transportation are responsible for the greenhouse effect.
When CO2 concentration increased it absorb heat radiation and thus increases
the temperature of the environment. This process is called a Greenhouse effect.
This process increases the temperature at a global level so it is also known
as global
warming.
Crop losses:
Smoke is caused by air pollution.
This is move causes heavy loss of crop. Smoke damage leafy vegetables serials
textile crops or ornamental plants fruits and forest trees in the nature.
Deterioration of buildings: Sulphur dioxide has adverse
effect on sculptures buildings and the painted surfaces. Sulphur dioxide is
also causes the discoloration and deterioration of buildings sculptures and
painted surfaces. Divide a Taj Mahal becoming yellowing and blackening due to
Sulphur dioxide.
Respiratory
disorders:
There are so many adverse
effects on respiratory system of organisms. Premature science any sense and
obsession is promoted by excessive ethylene in plants. Nasal and respiratory
tracts get affected by aldehydes
Prevention of Air Pollution
Air pollution is not a problem of any one country, this is a
global problem. to reduce air pollution, There are some 8 million people living on our beautiful planet, its up to each and everyone of us to leave our planet in a greener pollution free environment, for future generations.
We have to adopt all those techniques and equipment, which are
helpful in the control of air pollution. These are some very important practices,
which should be adopted by each and every country of the earth.
1. We
have to reduce the emission of exhaust from automobiles
2. Smoke
and dust should be reduced by electrostatic precipitation
3. We
have two separate many gases like Ammonia sulphur dioxide with the help of
scrubber.
4. All
the vehicles should be based on compressed natural gas (CNG)
