They include: Chemical nature of the pollutant - how active and toxic it is to humans, plants and animals; Concentration - the amount of the chemical per unit volume of air, water, soil, and; Persistence or longevity - how long the pollutant remains in theenvironment in its harmful form.

What are the main factors of air pollutants?

Air pollutants like ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, lead cause atmospheric pollution which regards to ozone depletion, GH effect, climate change and human health effects. If anyone say the main factors of air pollution beyond of industry, means of transportation, solid waste generation and urbanization.

Growing urbanisation and industrialisation grows more pollution. Due to a large number of population in the world, more pollution is generated. Specifically if we talk about air pollution, due to steady increase in number of industries, the gradient level is deteriorating day by day. There is no good if we just talk about sustainable development if we are not following it.
