Air pollutants can travel great distances and are not concerned about territorial boundaries or ecologically sensitive areas. Harmful particles produced by power plants, autos, and mining sites can readily travel hundreds of miles from their source. Which pollutes the pristine natural areas. These compounds include a variety of gases as well as microscopic particles or particulates. These particles can harm human health as well as cause major environmental damage.

“ 4.2 Million deaths every
year occur as a result of
exposure to ambient air
pollution. ”
~World health organization.
•The most crucial resource for the sustenance of life
is air. Unfortunately, rising air pollution has become
a bigger problem globally.
•As industrial development has progressed, access to
clean air has become a luxury.
•All the particles when discharged into the
atmosphere react with other atmospheric
substances and form aerosols.
•Aerosols, when combined with high quantities of air
pollutants produced from our industrial hubs,
introduce many undesired compounds into
ecosystems through the deposition.

ACID RAIN

•Rainwater has a pH of roughly 5.6 in
normal settings due to presence of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere.
•The combustion of fossil fuels releases
acidic gases such as nitric oxide and sulphur
dioxide into the atmosphere. They react
with water molecules, lowering the pH and
resulting in acid rain.
•Such a change in rain acidity has adverse
consequences for the environment, which
causes water bodies to become acidic,
damages plant leaves and photosynthetic
activities, it also affects the plant nutrition
cycle.

HAZE

•Haze is formed when sunlight strikes
concentrated particles of airborne pollutants like
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide which are
generated by power plants, industrial sites, or
smoke from wildfires.
•The effects of haze on plants are very significant.
Plants cannot adequately photosynthesize and
complete their life cycle because a thick layer of
haze blocks the incoming sunlight.
•Insects are also harmed by prolonged periods of
reduced vision. Pollinators, for example, are
important for local ecosystems.

DECREASED CARBON
SEQUESTRATION

Trees, in particular, have a remarkable ability to store vast amounts of carbon in their
stately bodies throughout their lives. As a result, forests are among the most effective
carbon sinks on the planet.
• Ground-level ozone, on the other hand, impairs a plant's capacity to metabolize
carbon dioxide. This is logically linked to a plant's reduced growth, as it cannot
properly use carbon to develop its body.
This is a concerning reality, given that our actions release large amounts of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere, where it behaves as a pollutant in and of itself.
• By including ground-level ozone in the calculation, we unwittingly diminish plants'
ability to sequester this additional carbon dioxide, amplifying the effects of climate
change.

6. GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Is rising air pollution an irrevocable threat to the environment?

Massive amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are released into
the atmosphere as a result of excessive fossil fuel burning and massive changes in land cover
By trapping heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases aid in the rise of
global temperatures, and their ever-increasing concentrations have begun
to alter the planet's climate.
Climate change manifests itself in a variety of detrimental ways, including
stronger storms, floods, drought, destructive wildfire, increased risk of
disease and pest infestations, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and many
more

7. POLLUDRONETM Is rising air pollution an irrevocable threat to the environment?

Oizom’s Polludrone is capable of
measuring the ambient air pollutants
such as:
Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide,
Volatile Organic Compounds, Carbon
Dioxide, Sulfur and Nitrogen Oxides,
etc.
It is capable of providing accurate and
precise results in highly polluted
regions with extreme high and low
temperatures, and extreme weather
conditions.
Polludrone is an ideal choice to
measure air pollution in developing
nation like our.

8. DUSTROID Is rising air pollution an irrevocable threat to the environment?
Oizom’s Dustroid is a Continuous Air Particulate
Monitoring system to measure the concentration of
dust particulates in the ambient air.
The Dustroid’s range is capable of monitoring various
sizes of particles ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns.
Dustroid is an ideal choice for dust surveys in areas
with dust-laden activities like construction, mining,
quarrying, ports, metallurgical processes, and many
more, etc.
The Dustroid measures all major particulate matter
like PM₁, PM₂‫܂‬₅, PM₁₀, PM₁₀₀, Temperature, and
Humidity.
