 AIR POLLUTION
• Air pollution: occurs when gases, dust particles, fumes (or smoke) or odor are introduced
into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans, animals and plant.
 CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
HUMAN MADE EFFECTS
Exhaust from factories and industries Mining operations

 Manufacturing industries release large

air thereby depleting the quality of air.

HUMAN MADE EFFECTS
•
Burning of Fossil Fuels
Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion
of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and other
factory combustibles is one the major cause of
air pollution. Pollution emitting from vehicles
including trucks, cars, trains, airplanes cause
immense amount of pollution.
Agricultural activities 
Ammonia is a very common by product from
agriculture related activities and is one of the most
hazardous gases in the atmosphere. Use of
insecticides, pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural
activities has grown quite a lot. They emit harmful
chemicals into the air and can also cause water
pollution.

 EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION
On the environment
Air pollution prevent photosynthesis in many
cases, It also contributes to the formation of acid
rain, atmospheric precipitations in the form of rain,
frost, snow or fog, which are released during the
combustion of fossil fuels and transformed by
contact with water steam in the atmosphere
Global warming
Air pollution is a major contributor to global warming and
climate change. Normally, the presence of greenhouse
gases should be beneficial for the planet because they
absorb the infra-red radiation produced by the surface of the
earth. But the excessive concentration of these gases in the
atmosphere is the cause of the recent climate change.
