Air pollution means the presence of chemicals or compounds (called pollutants) in the air which are not naturally occurring, and which lower the quality of air, and are harmful to all living things in the atmosphere.
CAUSES
Air pollution is mainly caused due to the release of various chemicals into the atmosphere. The single most harmful source of air pollution is the unchecked burning of fossil fuels by mankind. Fossil fuels (non-renewable sources of energy such as crude oil, petrol, diesel, coal etc.) are used in almost every process of industrialization, manufacturing, transport and energy generation. In rural areas, a major source of pollution is the practice of unchecked crop burning. In moderation, this is actually a useful tool in farming but uncontrolled crop burning causes significant air pollution. Another source of man-made pollution is military resources such as nuclear arsenal and chemical weaponry.
There are a few natural sources of air pollution as well. such as forest fires, volcanic activity and methane discharged from cattle.
HOW TO CONTROL
1. Conserve energy - at home, at work, everywhere.
2. Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home or office equipment.
3. Carpool, use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.
4. Follow gasoline refueling instructions for efficient vapor recovery, being careful not to spill fuel and always tightening your gas cap securely.
5. Consider purchasing portable gasoline containers labeled “spill-proof,” where available.
6. Keep car, boat, and other engines properly tuned.
7. Be sure your tires are properly inflated.
8. Use environmentally safe paints and cleaning products whenever possible.
9. Mulch or compost leaves and yard waste.
10. Consider using gas logs instead of wood.
