 ❖Acknowledgement
➢I would like to express my special
thanks of gratitude to my teacher
“Mrs. Yogita Bali Ma’am” who gave me
the golden opportunity to do this
wonderful project on the topic “Air
and its consequences” which also
helped me in doing a lot of Research
and I came to know about so many new
things.
➢I am really thankful to them.
Secondly I would also like to thank my
parents and friends who helped me a
lot in finalizing this project within the
limited time frame.

❑Disinfection
 ➢ INTRODUCTION
➢Air supplies the life-giving oxygen.

➢Human body cooled by air contact.

➢Hearing & smell stimuli transmitted.

➢Disease agents may be conveyed.

➢Pollution of air by dust, smoke,

toxic gases & chemical vapours.
 ➢COMPOSITION
•Air is a Mechanical mixture of gases-
❑Nitrogen (78.1%)

❑Oxygen (20.93%)

❑Carbon dioxide (0.03%)

❑Others gases : Argon

Neon
Krypton
Helium
 ➢ Air Impurities
➢Respiration: Of men and animals.
➢Combustion: Of coal ,gas, oil, etc.
➢Decomposition: Of organic matter.
➢Processes: Trade, traffic and manufacturing processes given
off dust , fumes, vapours, gases.

➢Self cleansing mechanisms

▪Wind
▪Sunlight
▪Rain
▪Plant life
 ➢Major Pollutants

I. Carbon Monoxide

II. Sulfur Dioxide

III. Nitrogen Dioxide

IV. Particulate Matter

V. Ground Level Ozone

➢Carbon Monoxide
▪Colorless, odorless

▪Produced when carbon does not burn in fossil fuels

▪Present in car exhaust

▪deprives body of O2 causing headaches, fatigue,

and impaired vision
➢Sulfur Dioxide
▪Produced when coal and fuel oil are
burned

▪Present in power plant exhaust

▪Narrows the airway, causing wheezing

and shortness of breath, especially in
those with asthma
➢Nitrogen Dioxide
▪Reddish, brown gas.

▪Produced when nitric oxide combines

with oxygen in the atmosphere.

▪Present in car exhaust and power plants.

▪Affects lungs and causes wheezing;

increases chance of respiratory infection.
▪ Effects Of Air Pollution

1. Health aspects

2. Social & economic

aspects

3. Other effects
➢Other Effect of Air Pollution

▪ Greenhouse Effect

▪ Acid Rain

▪ Increased UV Radiation

▪ Global Warming
➢Green house effect-
Green houses gases; such
as water vapour, carbon
dioxide, methane etc. Move
in and out of the
atmosphere. They trap
some of heat radiated out
from the earth that would
normally move out into
space. It is natural and is
caused by the earths
carbon and water cycles &
the heat from the sun.
➢Acid rain-
•Rain consisting of water
droplet that are unusually
acidic because of atmospheric
pollution – most notably the
excessive amounts of sulphur
& nitrogen released by cars &
industrial processes.
➢Global warming
•The increase of earths average surface temperature
due to effect of green house gases , such as carbon
dioxide emission form burning fossil flues or from
deforestation which trap that would other wise
escape from earth.
 ➢Prevention & Control of Air Pollution
▪Containment:
1.Dust collection system
2.Scrubber system

▪Replacement

▪International action

▪Dilution

▪Legislation
❖ Disinfection of air-
➢Mechanical Ventilation

➢Ultraviolet Radiation

➢Chemical Mists

➢Dust Control
