Air supplies us with oxygen we breathe, which is
essential to live.
Dry air includes :
Nitrogen (78.09%)
Oxygen (20.95%)
Argon (0.93%)
Carbon Dioxide (0.039% as of 2010)
other trace gases (0.003%).
Water Vapor in varying amounts (up to 2%)

Air pollution is the presence in ambient atmosphere of
substances, generally resulting from the activity of
man, in sufficient time and causes the harmful effects
on humans, plants and animals.

1. Natural sources
2. Man made sources
Volcanic eruption
Forest fires
Biological decay
Sea salt spray
Pollen grains of flowers


Thermal power plants
Industrial units
Vehicle emission
Fossil fuel burning
Agricultural activities
Metallurgical plants (SO2, CO2)
Fertilizer plants
Textile mills
Refineries Paper
pulp mills

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Ammonia (NH3)
Ground Level Ozone(O3)
Hydrocarbons (HC)
Particular Matter (PM)

Name of pollutant Effect on Human Being
Carbon monoxide Reduction in oxygen carrying capacity of blood,
reduces vision
Carbon dioxide Causes nausea and headache
Nitrogen oxide Irritation to eye and nose, effect lungs
Sulphur dioxide Irritation to eye and throat
Hydrocarbons Effect rasipratory system, may cause cancer
Particulate Matter Respiratory diseases, silicosis
Hydrogen sulphite Irritation to eye and nose, nausea, bad smell
Name of pollutant Effect on Human Being
Carbon monoxide Loss of chlorophyll, bleached spots on leaves
Nitrogen dioxide Suppressed growth, reduction in productivity
Ozone Premature ageing, destruction of vegetation
Fluorides Necrosis at leaf tip
Ethylene Leaf fall, flower dropping
PAN Bronzing of leafs, damage to small plants

1. Using non conventional energy
2. Using bio filters
3. Planting more trees
4. Reducing vehicle exhausts
5. Using less polluting fuels
6. Using mass transport
7. Removal of particulate matter using electrostatic
precipitator, cyclone filter etc.
8. Setting of industries of EIA
9. Removal of NOX from vehicle exhaust
