    Air Pollution

    Atmospheric pollution can occur through various means such as smoke from factories, vehicles, forest fires, garbage burning, pesticides, and nuclear experiments. These activities release gases like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide into the air. Acid rain is formed when these gases mix with water vapor and fall as acid precipitation, polluting water sources and harming plant growth. Some ways to reduce air pollution include installing emission control devices in factories and vehicles, using renewable energy, recycling waste, and minimizing the use of pesticides, plastics, and polluting chemicals.

    Atmospheric Pollution

    What is air pollution?


    Air pollution is the increase or
    decrease of any of the atmospheric
    gases at a rate harmful to the
    existence of life and the removal of
    other gases with the atmospheric air

    Ways in which atmosphere get


    polluted

    Smoke from factories


    Smoke emitted from vehicles
    Forest fire and deforestation
    Nuclear experiments
    Volcanic explosions
    Garbages
    Pesticides

    Smoke from factories


    In production
    process smoke
    from factories
    contain
    poisonous
    gases
    like
    carbon
    monoxide,
    sulphur dioxide
    etc. spread in

    Smoke emitted from vehicles


    The smoke emitted from automobiles
    contain
    carbonmonoxide,
    carbondioxide etc.

    Forest fire and deforestation


    Both these increases the amount of
    carbondioxide in air.

    Nuclear experiments
    During nuclear experiments radio
    active particles spread in the air
    causing pollution.

    Volcanic explosions
    As a result of volcanic explosions
    several poisonous gases, smoke,
    dust particles etc spread in air.

    Garbages
    The gases from garbages smoke
    from the burning of plastic and other
    waste materials also pollute air.

    Pesticides
    The over use of pesticides pollute air.
    Endosulphan

    Other ways on pollution


    Explosive materials used in war fields
    and terrorist activities.
    Fire works
    Chloro fluro carbon
    from air conditioners
    Refrigerators
    sprays

    Acid rain
    Due to atmospheric pollution a lot of
    acid particles get mixed up with rain
    water and falls as acid rain
    The carbondioxide in the air mixes
    with the water vapour and carbonic
    acid is formed.
    The water vapour and acids that are
    mixed in the atmosphere fall as rain
    and snow on earth.

    Cause of acid rain


    Pollute water- when the drinking
    water gets polluted with acid it
    causes problem for the kidney,
    weakening of bones and affects the
    growth of children
    Affects the growth of plants- lead to
    deterioration of agriculture sector
    and threaten food security.

    Remedial measures

    Erect tall chimneys in factories


    Use new model engines in vehicles
    Control the use of fossil fuels
    Avoid deforestation
    Handle nuclear waste safely and properly
    Avoid the use of fire works and explosive
    materials.
    Use bio pesticides in the place of
    chemical pesticides

    Bio degradable substances should be


    converted in to compost manure
    Solid waste which can be recycled
    should be recycled.
    Avoid or minimize of plastic materials
    Control the use of substance used in
    fridges and air conditioners which
    produce chloro fluro carbon. Use
    alternative substances

    Air polluting activities in our locality


    Smoke and dusts from near by
    factories
    Smoke from vehicles
    Garbages in public place
    Use of pesticides.

    Remedial measure
    Erect tall chimneys in factories
    Harmful and foul gases can be
    removed by using charcoal, zeolite,
    ground limestone.
    Solid waste collected should be
    classified in their sources itself.
    Biodegradable waste should be
    converted into compost manure
    Avoid or reduce the use of plastics
    Use bio fertilizers.
