What are the different types of air pollution? How does each of these types of air pollution affect human health and the environment? What some ways to control air pollution? Industrial smog is the black-brown colored haze that is in the air that can be seen over some cities. It is mostly visible in the summer. Burning coal produces sulfur dioxide (SO2) that eventually ends up into our atmosphere. Photochemical Smog is air pollution containing ozone and other reactive chemical compounds formed

availability of fresh water and its unequal distribution make water pollution a matter of great concern. Water pollution is generally localized and confined‚ making it more severe. The pollutants undergo many reactions and can become hazardous. 70 % of India’s fresh water is polluted‚ including several high altitude lakes. While water pollution is easier to study and manage‚ its control is highly complex and very costly. Water pollution is defined as presence of any foreign substance (organic‚ inorganic

Noise Pollution Noise pollution is not a necessary price to pay for living in an industrial society. Much can be done to reduce the severity of the problem. For example‚ vehicles and other machines can be built to produce less noise. Four-cycle engines can replace much noisier two-cycle engines in such products as lawnmowers‚ motorboats‚ and jet skis. Labels that indicate the noise levels of appliances and tools can help consumers avoid noisy products and choose quieter alternatives. Even

great magnitude; one of them is pollution. Pakistan is one of the developing countries which are sustaining the pollution problem.Traffic congestion is one of the main causes of air pollution. The usage of old transports is ruining the situation. No prevailing laws are strictly implemented‚ as a result‚ factories exude their smoke into the air.

In the last two decades‚ the air pollution in China has increased substantially. The lack of good air quality is especially prominent in the more urban‚ industrialized areas of China. Environment Minister Zhou Shengxian warned‚ “If China meant to quadruple the size of its economy over 20 years without more damage‚ it would have to become more efficient in resource use. Otherwise‚ there would be a painful price to pay” (BBC News). The topic of air pollution is not a new concern to the world; however

Pollution effects are not confined to the environment. The potential for damage to historical monuments has already been realized. Some damage‚ such as from wind or rain‚ is unavoidable. However‚ pollution contributes additional risk factors that can increase the level of destruction. The effects may be minor‚ such as a blackening of the surface of monuments due to dust. Other impacts can have permanent consequences. Pollution effects are not confined to the environment. The potential for damage
