2. Project Objectives
Understand the impact of these on the environment and on living
beings.
Identify the different types of Air pollutant and there sources.
Suggest ways to minimize the Air pollution.
Spread awareness about the Air pollution and it’s effect.

3. POLUTION
 When harmful substances
contaminate the environment it
is called Pollution
 Pollution refers to the very bad
condition of environment in terms of
quantity and quality
Pollution is the
introduction of
contaminants into a
natural environment that
causes instability,
disorder, illness, harm or
discomfort to the
ecosystem i.e. physical
systems or living
organisms.

5. AQI: Air Quality Index
•Indicates whether pollutant levels in air may cause
health concerns.
•Ranges from 0 (least concern) to 500 (greatest
concern)

7. Air Pollution
Air pollution is a mixture of solid
particles and gases in the air. Car
emissions, chemicals from factories,
dust, pollen and mold spores may be
suspended as particles. Ozone, a gas, is
a major part of air pollution in cities.
When ozone forms air pollution, it's also
called smog. Some air pollutants are
poisonous.

8. Air Pollution in India
 Air Pollution is high in Indian cities.
 Indian cities are polluted by vehicles and
industry emissions. Road dust due to
vehicles also contributing up to 33% of air
pollution in cities like Bangalore, around
50% of children suffer from asthma. India
has emission standard of Bharat Stage IV
(Euro IV) for vehicles since 2005.

9. Causes of Air Pollution
Natural Sources – smokes that
come from wildfires,
volcanoes, methane and Dust,
Human Sources – automobiles,
fumes, burning wood stoves,
fireplaces and furnaces.
The Air Pollution comes from
two sources

10. Natural Sources of Air Pollution
Dust Storm

11. Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park

12. Man-made sources of air pollution
Air pollution and traffic
fumes tied to infertility
risk
Pollution in festivals
Heavy smoke pours from
the exhausts

14. • colorless, odorless
• produced when carbon does not burn in fossil fuels
• present in car exhaust
• deprives body of O2 causing headaches, fatigue, and impaired vision
Carbon Monoxide

15. Sulphur Dioxide
• produced when coal and fuel oil are burned
• present in power plant exhaust
• narrows the airway, causing wheezing and shortness of breath, especially in those with asthma

16. Nitrogen Dioxide
• reddish, brown gas
• produced when nitric oxide combines with oxygen in the atmosphere
• present in car exhaust and power plants
• affects lungs and causes wheezing; increases chance of respiratory infection

17. Air Pollution Causing :-
Air Pollution in NYC contributes to 6% of annual deaths.It also caused 1.2
million deaths in china.
Air Pollution is turning rain into acid rain which contaminates our soil
and living things such as plants that depend on clean rain.
Diseases such as lung cancer and heart disease appears in people
exposed to air pollution.

18. Control measures
 Control soil erosion and floods by restoring forest and grass cover to
the soil.
 Mulching to prevent sand shifting.
 Crop rotation and mixed crops.
 Improved drainage facilities to prevent salinity.
 Belt of trees as wind breakers.

19. Ways you can reduce Air Pollution?
 Conserve energy! Turn off appliances when they are not being used.
 Plant deciduous trees in locations around your home to provide
shade in the summer, but to allow light in the winter
 Use public transportation when possible, ride a bike or walk.
 Avoid waiting in long drive-thru lines. Park the car and go in!

20.  Keep tires properly inflated and aligned.
 Recycle Paper, plastic, glass bottles and cardboard.
 Join a group to stop pollution
 Make sure you get pollution checks on your vehicles.
