Explanation:
There are four main types of air pollution sources: mobile sources – such as cars, buses, planes, trucks, and trains. stationary sources – such as power plants, oil refineries, industrial facilities, and factories. area sources – such as agricultural areas, cities, and wood burning fireplaces.What are the Main Sources of Air Pollution?
What are the Main Sources of Air Pollution
The main air pollution sources of concern for the citizens of Port Alberni are: smoke from residential wood heating; smoke from outdoor burning; pulp and paper emissions; ship, truck and automobile exhaust; cigarette smoking; and indoor air pollution.

Pulp and Paper Pollution
The pulp and paper industry has played a central role in Port Alberni since 1947.
Catalyst Paper Corporation currently employs 280 people here and is a leading producer of telephone directory and lightweight coated papers for publishers and commercial printers throughout North America, South America, and Asia.

In large cities across the country, ozone and nitrous oxides from vehicle emissions rise to the top of air quality concerns and take their place with the general particulate matter category. Vehicle exhaust is full of extremely tiny toxic particles. During poor venting days, especially in the summer, you can see this pollution as a dense brown haze. Forty percent of the PM in that haze is from vehicles.
In Port Alberni, as in many communities, emissions from trucks and cars are the largest contributor, by far, to toxic nitrous oxide pollution. They are also significant contributors to hazardous air pollutants and carcinogens such as benzene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, 1,3 butadiene, and diesel particulate matter.
Exhaust is a complex cocktail of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides, nitrous oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To make matter worse, when it's warm and sunny, the NOx and VOCs react chemically making ground level ozone, yet another damaging toxin.

Some developments that have reduced vehicle emissions include newer technologies (like the Smart Car), more efficient internal combustion engines, and cleaner fuels.
However, the best way to reduce vehicle emissions is to reduce vehicle use as much as possible. At least, when vehicles are in use, reducing unnecessary idling is beneficial for air quality.
Idling Gets You Nowhere
Canadians idle their vehicles for an average of five to ten minutes a day. In the peak of winter the combined total is more that 75 million minutes a day - equivalent to one vehicle idling for 144 years.
How could one person's decision to stop unnecessary idling have any effect? If every Canadian motorist avoided idling for just five minutes a day, 365 days of the year, more than 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and other toxic substances would be spared from entering the atmosphere.
Idling for more than 10 seconds costs more than turning off your engine. More than $1.8 million of fuel is idled away by Canadians every day. Running an engine at low speed also generates costs due to the doubling of wear on internal parts. This wear can reduce engine life by up to 20%.
Most idling is simply habit based on myth. There's no other way to explain why truck drivers would leave their rigs idling next to Alberni Elementary while they chow down in Tim Horton's�.I kid you not.
Contrary to popular opinion, idling is not an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather. The best way to do this is to drive the vehicle. With today's modern engines, you need no more than 30 seconds of idling on cold winter days before driving. Contrary to popular opinion, idling is not good for your engine. It can actually damage engine components, including cylinders, spark plugs and exhaust systems. Contrary to popular opinion, frequent restarting has little impact on engine components like the battery and the starter motor and does not use more gas than leaving the engine running.
Idling gets you nowhere. It wastes fuel, money, and engine life while reducing air quality and contributing to climate change. The solution is literally in your hands - it's as easy as turning a key.
