AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the presence of chemicals in
the atmosphere in concentrations high
enough to harm organisms, ecosystems, or
human made materials, or to alter climate
(Miller,2016:370).
SOURCES OF AIR
POLLUTION
Air pollution derives from a variety of sources, of which
the combustion of fossil-fuel products is the principal
source.

 PRIMARY AND SECONDARY
POLLUTANTS
Pollutants directly whereas pollutants that form
as a result of chemical
emitted into the
reactions with other
atmosphere are pollutants or atmospheric
known as primary gases are known as
pollutants secondary pollutants
 INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
POLLUTANTS
Indoor air pollution is also a
serious problem in developed
areas of all countries, mostly
because of chemicals used in
building materials and products.
•Sources: cooking and
combustion, air conditioning,
consumer products, smoking,
heating, biologic agents,etc.
•Products: Combustion products
(eg, tobacco and wood smoke),
CO, CO2, SVOC (eg, aldehydes,
alcohols, alkanes, and ketones),
etc.
 INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
POLLUTANTS
Outdoor air pollutant is
often referred to as
ambient air. The common
sources of outdoor air
pollution are emissions
caused by combustion
processes from motor
vehicles, solid fuel
burning and industry.
Products: SO2, ozone,
NOx, CO, PM, SVOC

concentrations. Millions of people live in
areas where urban smog, particle

serious health concerns.

INDICATORS OF AIR POLLUTION
The hardy lichens are useful bioindicators for air pollution, espeially
sulfur dioxide pollution, since they derive their water and essential
nutrients mainly from the atmosphere rather than from the soil.

 SOLUTION
• Laws and Regulations Can Reduce Outdoor Air Pollution
The United States provides an excellent example of how a regulatory approach can
reduce air pollution. The U.S. Congress passed the Clean Air Acts in 1970, 1977, and
1990. With these laws, the federal government established air pollution regulations for
key pollutants that are enforced by states and major cities.
