Air pollution a severe issue which
every person on the earth is facing and day by day it is getting our health
affected. We all know that air is essential for life but polluted air can
easily destroy our lives in the shortest possible of time. We all know the fact
how harmful the polluted air can harm us, but still, we don’t take the matter
seriously and contributing fully to make the air polluted rather than cleaning
it.
Air is getting polluted when any process
that produces substances or gases that are small and light enough to be carried
in the air and such substances contribute to air pollution. Air can easily be
polluted with any kind of sources, whether it is natural or man-made and occur
all at once or sometimes acts slowly. The prime sources of the air pollution,
are- industrial complexes and vehicles, also they can be indoor or outdoor.
There are various causes of air pollution
and they are-
We can see vehicles running on the
road all the time and this is the major source of air pollution. Also, the
numbers of vehicles on roads are overwhelming and increasing day by day, which
means the air pollution is increasing automatically. Everything from heavy-duty
trucks to motorbikes, shipping vessels, trains, and airplanes combust lots of
fossil fuels to function and this contributes a lot to pollute the air.
Combustion From Fossil Fuels is
another major contributor to air pollution and affecting our lives. We can see
that conventional power plants regularly combust fossil fuels to produce energy
which produce hazardous gases such as oxides of nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, and
hydrocarbons into the air, which is so dangerous for human life. Aside from
this, discharges from manufacturing industries and factories, mining
activities, agriculture, burning wastes, and other various things are there
which causes air pollution.
Talking about Types of
Air Pollution, they are of different types, including- particle
pollution which is different types of pollutants in the air cause the most
pollution in the air and their sources are- outdoor fires, industrial sources,
cars and trucks and various others. Aside this, common air pollutants
are there- nitrogen dioxide, ground-level ozone, volatile organic compounds,
sulfur dioxide and various others which are affecting the air. Greenhouse gases
are also blamed to be responsible for air pollution along with volatile organic
compounds, ammonia and other various things are affecting the environment.
Effects
Of Air Pollution are
many and anyone can easily expect facing trouble with the respiratory and
heart-related issues, as well as global warming, depletion of ozone layer,
eutrophication, acid rain, poor crops and other sorts of effects we can expect
if it will be there or increase. So, know we are clear on what is Air
Pollution and its types and causes, however, it is always better to
contribute few and more to clean the air. Trees play a very important role,
however, it is better to plan more and more trees and avoid doing such
practices via which the air is getting affected.
