Question

Which strategies will be used to address the air pollution Mention three

Answer 1

• Air Pollution is caused by the presence of high proportion of Sulphur-di-oxide and Carbon-monoxide in air.

• Burning Fossil fuels in Big and small industries emit smoke.

• Chemical and Paper factories, Refineries, Smelting plants - also emit smoke ignoring Pollution norms.

• Toxic Gas leaks like Bhopal Gas Tragedy can be very hazardous with long term effects.

• Air Pollution causes Respiratory problems to Humans.

• It adversely affects Animals, Plants & Atmosphere as a whole.

We can reduce Air Pollution in the following ways:

1. Factories should be fitted with Chimneys that have Electrostatic Precipitators, Inertial Separators, Filters, etc... to reduce Particulate matter in Air.
2. Thermal Power plants should use Oil or Gas instead of Coal to reduce Smoke.
3. Thermal Power Plants should maximise Ash Utilisation by making 'Ash Pond' and use this ash-water to cool their machines, thus efficiently re-cycling Ash-water.
