Name any two sources which cause air pollution due to suspended particulate matter
Answers
1. Volcanoes – Erupting volcanoes eject large quantities of particulates including volcanic ash and gases into the atmosphere, volcanic eruptions have been directly associated with climate change since studies began
2. Dust Storms – Strong winds can pick up vast clouds of dust which in turn are dispersed into the atmosphere and can take years to return to the surface
Man-Made Causes
1. Construction – Cement dust is a large portion of overall global pollutants, because of the dust’s small particle size, it can hang around in the air for quite some time. The use of vehicles in the construction industry and other known pollutants makes the construction industries in dire need of reforming
2. Demolition – Huge amounts of dust are thrown into the air during even the smallest demolition project, these particles are picked up into the wind, and again due to the small size of said particles, they can stay airborne for a very long time
