 Air pollution is a major
problem in the European

what is air Union. The effects of air

pollution are felt by all
citizens, as it can cause a
pollution?? wide range of health
problems.
Air pollution is a type of environmental
pollution that involves the emission of
air pollutants (defined by law) more
than the emission limit. Large-scale,
cross-border air pollution means that
pollution cannot be completely limited
to a state's national jurisdiction.
 How can the air
be polluted?

There are two types of air pollution:

Human-caused air Air pollution of natural

pollution: origin:
this includes natural disasters
this includes industrial, and natural processes that
agricultural, and traffic-related cause air pollution, such as
air pollution forest fires or volcanic
eruptions
These are the most
prevalent types of air
pollution
-Smog and soot
-Hazardous air pollutants
-Greenhouse gases
-Pollen and mold

Acid Rain
The burning of fossil fuels

nitrogen oxides and sulphur Like people, animals, and plants, entire ecosystems can suffer
oxides in the air. The water

fall as acid rain which damages
human, animal and plant life.
 Strength in Numbers
As individuals, we should avoid
activities that pollute the air – and
whenever possible, choose
alternative modes of
transportation: bike, walk, carpool,
and use public transportation.
