what is air pollution?

Air pollution is, as the name suggests,

polluting and poisoning of air and atmosphere
around the earth.
Air pollution is caused by many harmful
gases such as carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide,
and excess of carbon dioxide.
 Causes of air pollution
Due to increase in number of
vehicles
Due to deforestation
Due to nuclear projects
Due to industrialization
 Due to indutrialization:
For developmental purposes rapid
industrialization is being carried out.
Thus large amount of harmful gases are emitted.
 2:Due to increase in number of vehicles
 Number of vehicles emit large amount of
harmful gases.
Due to deforestation:
Due to deforestation the number of trees
decreases.
This results in increase in carbon dioxide gas
giving rise to air pollution
Due to nuclear projects:
Due to nuclear projects and experiments
harmful heavy elements are given out to the
atmosphere giving rise to air pollution.
Effects of air pollution

 Air
pollution has hazardous effects on earth,
earth’s environment ,human beings as well as
other biotic factors living on the earth.
 Effects of air pollution are as follows:
 On climate
 On biotic factors
 On earth
ON CLIMATE:

Due to air pollution negative effects have

been observed on climate
Global warming is one of the major effect of
air pollution.
 Due to global warming ice caps are melting
 Thus sea water level is rising

Effects on biotic world Is this our future?
Effects on biotic factors:

Air pollution is a very serious problem

because it has a direct and fast impact on
health.
Air pollution gives rise to various health
problems such as respiratory diseases, skin
allergies etc.
Due to the use of CFS’S the ozone layer which
protects our planet from harmful rays of the
sun is getting destroyed giving rise to skin
problems like skin cancer. This affects not only
humans but also other animals
Atmospheric haze or smog reduces
visibility and that acid rain from
chemical emissions damages property,
pollutes water resources and can harm
forests and wild life
Air pollution can negatively impact
human health and cause cough, cold
burning eyes ,breathing problems and
even death.
In years to come man will be seen carrying
oxygen mask!
 Thus now it is up to us whether to
save our planet and live IN peace or
create more pollution and leading
towards our own end.
 Nature has provided us with wonderful
gifts.
 Now it is our turn to return back the
things as beautifully as they were given
