AIR POLLUTION , CAUSES, PREVENTION, EFFECTS,GLOBAL WARMING
WHAT IS AIR POLLUTION ?
It is refer to the pollutant of the undesirable substances like smoke , wind pollutant and stubble burning residues which actually causing heat to the environment creating one of the serious health issues in today modern life.
Affecting a lot of the members from severe air pollution diseases causing harm to the human body in affecting several body organs and cause harms in inhaling air.
I t is the critical issues which world is facing today with many people are dieing due to it and WHO repetitively prepairing measures for it to curb or slow down the pollution level upto some extent by warning state about it or prepairing and annual report on the air pollution issues and government of the world making assessment annually by publishing report to the media of overall performances etc..
MAJOR POLLUTANT
1.Carbon monoxide
it is colorless,odorless gas that is produced by incomplete burning of carbon based fuels include petrol,diesel etc
it lowers the amount of oxygen enters into blood.
it can slow our reflexes and low our thinking process
2.Carbon-dioxide
It is principle greenhouse gas emitted as a result of the human activity such as burning of the natural gas ,oil, fossil fuels etc it main source of the global warming among the gases
3.CFC
These are the gases released from mainly air conditioners, refrigeration. this is the main gas which is responsible for the ozone hole depletion in the stratosphere in which it is present
4.Ozone
It occurs at the upper layer of the atmosphere and act as a important shield of the protection from ultraviolet rays .vehicle and industries are the major source of the ground level ozone depletion.
5.Suspended particulate matter (SPM)
It consist of suspended particles in the form of air in smoke,dust and vapor that can remain suspended for long extended period and it also the main source of haze which reduces visibility.
6. Sulfur-dioxide
It is gas produced from burning of coal, some industrial process such as smelting of metal,production of papers. it is main source of smog and acid rain,sulfur dioxide or smoke etc..
EFFECT OF AIR POLLUTION
Name pollutant Source Health effect
1. Sulphur dioxide Thermal power plant and industries Eye and throat irritation,impair function of respiratory system
2. Nitrogen dioxide Thermal power plant and vehicles Breathlessness, asthma
3.Carbon monoxide Burning of fossil fuels Difficulty in breathing severe headache,unconsciousness
4.Ozone Automobile emission Breathlessness, asthma, chest pain
5.CFC Refrigerators,sprays,emission from jets global warming,depletion of stratospheric ozone layer
6.Mercury Industries Nervous disorder,,memory loss,insomnia
