Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Car emissions, chemicals from factories, dust, pollen and mold spores may be suspended as particles. Ozone, a gas, is a major part of air pollution in cities. When ozone forms air pollution, it's also called smog.

2. What is Air
Pollution
What are the
Cause and
Effect of it?
Well let us
find it out,
together..
What can we
possibly do
to lessen it?

7. 1. Burning of Fossil Fuels
Sulfur dioxide emitted from the combustion of fossil fuels like coal,
petroleum and other factories combustibles is one the major cause
of air pollution.
Pollution emitting from vehicles including trucks, jeeps, cars, trains,
airplanes cause immense amount of pollution.

8. 2. 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.

9. 3. Exhaust from Factories and Industries:
Manufacturing industries release large amount of carbon
monoxide, hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and chemicals into
the air thereby depleting the quality of air.
Manufacturing industries can be found at every corner of the
earth and there is no area that has not been affected by it.

10. 4. Mining operations:
Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are
extracted using large equipment's.
During the process dust and chemicals are released in the air
causing massive air pollution.

11. 5. Indoor Air Pollution:
Household cleaning products, painting
supplies emit toxic chemicals in the air
and cause air pollution.

13. They are known to create several respiratory and
heart conditions along with Cancer, among other
threats to the body.

14. • a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's
atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused
by increased levels of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and
other pollutants.

15. The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's
atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it
would be without its atmosphere. If a planet's atmosphere contains
radiatively active gases (i.e., greenhouse gases) the atmosphere will radiate
energy in all directions.
Well, all the gas from
pollution traps the heat
of the SUN putting the
earth into GREENHOUSE

16. Ozone exists in earth’s stratosphere and is responsible for
protecting humans from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays.
As ozone layer will go thin, it will emit harmful rays back on
earth and can cause skin and eye related problems. UV
rays also have the capability to affect crops.

17. Rainfall made sufficiently acidic by
atmospheric pollution that it causes
environmental harm, typically to
forests and lakes.
Acid Rain can cause great damage
to human, animals and crops.

18. Eutrophication is a condition where high amount of
nitrogen present in some pollutants gets developed on
sea’s surface and turns itself into algae and adversely
affect fish, plants and animal species.
excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of
water
 is a form of water pollution

19. Just like humans, animals also face some devastating affects of air
pollution. Toxic chemicals present in the air can force wildlife
species to move to new place and change their habitat.

20. •Combination of gases with water vapor and dust
•Combination of words smoke and fog
•Forms when heat and sunlight react gases (photochemical
smog)
•Occurs often with heavy traffic, high temperatures, and
calm winds

22. • Encourage people to use more and more public modes of
transportation to reduce pollution. Also, try to make use of car pooling.
Ride the school bus .
Ride your bike .

23. • Switch off fans and lights when you are going out. Large amount
of fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity

24.  Do not throw away items that are of no use to you. In-fact reuse
them for some other purpose.
