original, normal composition.

AIR POLLUTION
Some primary air pollutants may react with one another
or with other chemicals in the air to form secondary air
pollutants.

Primary Air Pollutant : Harmful substance that
is emitted directly into the atmosphere.

Secondary Air Pollutant : Harmful substance
formed in the atmosphere when a primary air pollutant
reacts with substances normally found in the atmosphere or
with other air pollutants
Two Categories
Air Pollution Damage to Trees
Acid Deposition and Humans
Respiratory diseases
Toxic metal leaching
Decreased visibility
Damage to structures, especially
containing limestone
Decreased productivity of fisheries,
forests, and farms
AIR POLLUTION ACT :
1948 : The factories act .
1981 : The Air prevention & control act.
1982 : The atomic energy act .
1988 : The motor vehicles act .
Ways to Reduce Air Pollution

Conserve energy - turn off appliances
and lights when you leave the room.
Recycle, glass bottles, cardboard, and
aluminum cans.
Connect your outdoor lights to a timer
or use solar lighting.
Wash clothes with warm or cold water
instead of hot.
Reduce the use of air conditioners.
Smokeless sources

Enforce the law

Devices for filtering

Use More Efficient Transportation

Reduce Energy Consumption

Case Study: Radioactive Radon
Radon-222, a
radioactive gas
found in Radon-222,
a radioactive gas
found in some soils
and rocks, can seep
into some houses
and increase the risk
of lung cancer. and

Solutions: Preventing and Reducing
Air Pollution

Standards (NAAQS)
Primary and secondary standards

Emission Trading Policy

We know that certain environmental conditions like
air , water,& food are essential for man , survival .
Apart from their availability their quality &
quantity must be assured according to men natural
& acquired capacity for sustenance progress in
industrialization has brought environmental hazards
such as air water & noise pollution . These have
caused many health problems & diseases.
