Subject: Air pollution
sir,
Air pollution occurs when harmful or excessive quantities of substances including gases, particulates, and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere. It may cause diseases, allergies and also death of humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment. Human activity and natural processes can both generate air pollution.
Most air pollution comes from energy use and production,” says John Walke, director of the Clean Air Project, part of the Climate and Clean Air program at NRDC. “Burning fossil fuels releases gases and chemicals into the air.” And in an especially destructive feedback loop, air pollution not only contributes to climate change but is also exacerbated by it. “Air pollution in the form of carbon dioxide and methane raises the earth’s temperature,” Walke says. “Another type of air pollution is then worsened by that increased heat: Smog forms when the weather is warmer and there’s more ultraviolet radiation.” Climate change also increases the production of allergenic air pollutants including mold (thanks to damp conditions caused by extreme weather and increased flooding) and pollen (due to a longer pollen season and more pollen production).

Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of concerned authorities towards the issue of air pollution in Delhi.
We have been put in such a health hazard that people passing through the roads or streets areally bound to inhale the polluted air.
The smoke emitted out by the vehicles, power plants and factories bear a direct impact on our respiratory system. Tons of smoke coming out contain the particles of dust, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide. It leads to cancer and many other serious diseases. If concrete steps are not initiated to check this spreading air pollution, people will fall a victim to one or the other health problem.
It is high time to initiate action and to save the lives of people in Delhi and make it a paradise on Earth.
Yours Sincerely
Myra
