CHAPTER I AIR POLLUTANTS: SOURCES AND CONTROL OF GASES Introduction: 1. According to the World Bank‚ in 2007 air pollution cost about 3.8% of China’s 2. gross domestic product‚ mainly from diseases and loss of lives. 3. World Health Organization estimates that in India alone about 500‚000 premature deaths are caused each year by indoor air pollution. 4. Serious respiratory disease-related problems have been identified for both indoor and outdoor pollution in major cities of several countries. 5.

Many people feel that it is the most serious pollution problem that we now face. Scientists say that plant and animal life in thousands of lakes in the United States and Canada has already been destroyed by acid rain. Acid rain forms in the upper atmosphere. There‚ sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides mix with water vapor. They mix with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. When the vapor condenses and rain falls‚ the acids fall with it. Every time acid rain falls in a lake‚ the level of acid in the lake rises

ABSTRACT This report involves a well description on acid rain as well as a focus on acid rain in eastern Canada. This report contains a very helpful basic background on acid rain as well as a questionnaire. It involves an annual report on the Federal-Provincial Agreements‚ sulphur dioxide emissions in the seven most eastern provinces‚ trends in acid deposition in the Atlantic provinces from 1980-1994‚ as well as acid precipitation in Kejimkujik‚ Nova Scotia. It also includes data tables‚ graphs

The rich imagery in ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’‚ is a major reason why the poem is so powerful. In the first line‚ "Bent double‚ like old beggars under sacks‚" readers can see the weariness of the soldiers‚ trudging tiredly on the war ground.

Smog produced by factories and automobiles as well as fire smoke is the main contributing factors of the existence of haze. The one of the main cause that touches off haze is the industries who evil mind construct the smog that had over the standard and the smog seriously influence the air become air pollution. The components that make up haze are carbon monoxide‚ sulphur dioxide‚

Vehicles on the roads contribute to air pollution in major way. Most of the vehicle plying on road are fuelled by petrol and diesel emitting pollutants like Ozone gas‚ Nitrogen Oxides (NO)‚ particulate matter‚ soot smog‚ carbon monoxide (CO)‚ sulphur dioxide (SO2) etc These emissions not only pollute the environment‚ but also pose variety of health risks for people. Pollution is the main reason behind skin cancers‚ asthma‚ bronchitis‚ and other respiratory disorders. Even newborn children can

Imagine that the air that you are breathing may be killing you … well‚ no need to Imagine as this is the ugly truth. Air pollution is an intractable problem that we have noticed since the industrial revolution and it has increased over the years to become one of our time’s biggest issues.
