health of humans, animals, and plants,
disrupting the aesthetics and comfort
of, or damage to property.

CAUSE OF AIR POLLUTION


Naturally, the air in the earth's atmosphere is a
combination of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, CO2 and water
vapor.
The composition of atmospheric constituent gas
component can be altered by air pollutants. In
addition, some of the causes of air pollution could also
be explained by the following list:
Factory chimneys and exhaust fumes of motor
vehicles
Cigarette smoke
Forest fires

HOW TO REDUCE AIR


POLLUTION ??

Rethinking Transportation

Industrial manufacturing practices


are the
primary reason the earth's air is
polluted.
The manufacturing of cars and
roads, the
production of fuel, and the
emissions that
result from burning that fuel all
play a part.
No matter where you live, you can

Conserving Energy

Don't use your lights and appliances as often.


These small actions are more important than
ever when it comes to reducing air pollution,
since the electricity that runs your lights and
appliances is generated by emissions-producing
coal or natural gas plants. And Rethink your
heating and cooling habits. Try to allow your
body to acclimate to the changing seasons
instead of using your heater and air conditioner
to keep the temperature steady all year long.

Getting Involved

Educate yourself on air pollution.


Different
regions have different air pollution
issues.
There may be a factory nearby that's
polluting
the air in your city, or perhaps the local
landfill
is the main culprit in your area. To
understand
how you can best take action to reduce
air
pollution in your area, do some
research to find
out what the major sources are. and
you can
plant trees. Trees reduce air pollution,

Changing Buying Habits

Cut back on the amount of packaging you


purchase and the amount of household
waste you
produce. The process of manufacturing
packaging
releases harmful emissions into the
atmosphere,
so patronize brands that use as little
packaging as
possible. Recycle everything you can:
aluminum,
paper, glass, plastic and cardboard are
usually
easy to recycle. When you are disposing of
chemical-based substances like paint,
batteries,
pesticides or solvents, check with your local
waste
management office for a safe, eco-friendly
method.
