Before diving into
the essay first let’s understand what is air pollution exactly. Air pollution
is the presence or release of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to
humans, animals, plants and damaging to the climate or materials. Such type of
substances is called pollutants.
Some common examples
of pollutants are-Ozone(O3) is a pollutant and are formed as a result of a
chemical reaction of organic compounds and nitrogen dioxide in the presence of
sunlight. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is formed when the carbon fuels are burned in
the presence of little oxygen or at a high temperature. Mostly the source of
this is the exhaust from the vehicle engines and is evidently formed in cities
where traffic jams are a common event.
Effects:
Air pollution has many adverse effects on humans, plants,
animals and the materials around us. So, air pollution has effects like-Cardiovascular
and Heart Problems, Asthma and COPD, Skin problems, to name a few.
Adverse effects on
monuments are like-In buildings containing books, historical artefacts or other
works of art indoor pollutants may cause significant degradation.
Effects on plants are-Global warming caused due to emission
of CO2 and methane. Smog caused due to mixing of smoke and fog which cause
blurred vision causing vehicular accidents.
Preventions:
We all can contribute to reducing air pollution by
implementing small steps that will create a huge difference. We all can
implement things like-
- Why waste fuel
when a group is travelling to the same destination, so we can carpool or use public transportation, or walk whenever possible.
- Avoid burning leaves, trash and rather decompose them to make manure.
- Avoid excessive idling of your automobile.
- Afforestation.
Plants absorb CO2 present in the atmosphere, releasing oxygen and
naturally, act as pollution reducers.
