Air supplies us with oxygen which is must for our bodies to live. Air is the ocean we breathe contains 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Air pollution is mainly due to the release of 1. Particles into the air from burning fuel for energy e.g. burning of diesel, wood and charcoal in fireplaces. sometimes referred to as "black carbon" pollution also known as indoor air pollution. many sources of Tobacco smoke, cooking and heating appliances, and vapours from building materials, paints, furniture, etc. cause pollution inside buildings. Radon is a natural radioactive gas released from the earth, and it can be found concentrated in basements in some parts of the United States.
2.

Noxious gases, such as sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and chemical vapours. These can take part in further chemical reactions once they are in the atmosphere, forming smog and acid rain, Greenhouse Effect, also referred to as global warming, Ozone depletion (Release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) from aerosol cans, cooling systems and refrigerator equipment removes some of the ozone, causing "holes"; to open up in this layer and allowing the radiation to reach the earth. Ultraviolet radiation is known to cause skin cancer and has damaging effects on plants and wildlife)

short-term effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver & kidneys. keys to controlling air pollution Prevention, Adequate ventilation, Reduce exposure to air pollution, Restricting smoking.
