    Air pollution is caused by both natural sources and human activities that release harmful gases, dust, fumes, or smoke into the atmosphere. It can take various forms like smog or fog and is caused by emissions from industries, vehicles, and the burning of biomass. Air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people worldwide every year according to WHO data. The main pollutants are particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and carbon monoxide which can cause health issues, damage the environment, impact the ozone layer, and contribute to climate change. Reducing vehicle emissions, controlling industrialization, and limiting biomass burning can help curb air pollution.

    AIR POLLUTION

    “We can survive for sometime without


    food but we can not survive even for a
    few minutes without air.”
    WHAT IS AIR?

    Nitrogen
    Oxygen
    Other Gases

    In addition to the normal constituents


    POLLUTED polluted air may also contain some harmful
    AIR- gases such as carbon monoxide, Sulphur
    dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dust, smoke, etc.

    cities today. Today, most of the droplets that hang in the air.
    smog we see is photochemical smog.
    ISSUED BY WHO
    Air pollution kills an estimated seven million
    people worldwide every year. WHO data shows that 9
    out of 10 people breathe air that exceeds WHO
    guideline limits containing high levels
    of pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries
    suffering from the highest exposures. WHO is
    supporting countries to address air pollution.
    AIR POLLUTANTS
    -The substances which contaminate
    the air are called air Primary Pollutants
    pollutants.
    Volatile Organics
    (13.6 %)
    -Sometimes substances may come
    Nitrogen Oxides
    from Natural Source and by (14.8 %)
    certain human activities.
    Sulfur Oxides
    (16.4 %)
    Carbon Monoxide
    -The sources of air pollutants of (49.1 %)
    factories power plants automobile
    is exhaust and burning of
    firewood and dung cake.
    PM 2.5
    Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is an air
    pollutant that is a concern for people's health
    when levels in air are high. PM2.5 are tiny
    particles in the air that reduce visibility and cause
    the air to appear hazy when levels are elevated.

    On a very clear and non-hazy day,


    the PM2.5 concentration can be as low as 5
    μg/m3 or below. The 24-hour concentration
    of PM2.5 is considered unhealthy when it rises
    above 35.4 μg/m3.
    CAUSES
    - Vehicle Emission
    - Growing cities
    - Natural disasters
    - Industrialization
    - Burning leaves
    - Burning Plastic
    - Smoking
    EFFECTS
    -Health issues

    -Damage to the
    .environment

    -Impact on ozone layer

    -Climate changes.
