exceeding the normal concentrations. It could either be gaseous or a particulate matter. The important and
harmful polluting gases are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ozone and oxides of sulphur and nitrogen . The
common particulate pollutants are the dust of various inorganic or organic origins .Although we often talk of

or a more important cause of health problems.
Recognition of air pollution is relatively recent. It is not uncommon to experience a feeling of “suffocation” in a
closed environment. It is often ascribed to the lack of oxygen. There is about 79 percent nitrogen and 21
percent oxygen in the air- the other gases forming a very less fraction.
