Air Pollution
Air Pollution 
Air pollution is the addition 
of gases, chemicals, and 
particulate matter into the 
atmosphere. 
Air pollution primarily 
comes from burning 
fossil fuels such as 
natural gas, petroleum, 
and coal. 
Globally, an estimated 
200,000 and 570,000 
people die each year from 
air pollution.
Air Pollution 
Humans are the main 
cause of air pollution. 
Industries, including 
factories and power plants, 
burn large quantities of 
fuel. 
Burning coal and 
petroleum releases sulfur 
oxide and nitrogen oxide 
into the air. 
Airplanes, boats, and cars 
burn fuel, releasing carbon 
monoxide and carbon 
dioxide.
Air Pollution 
The waste in landfills 
releases methane. Sulfur 
oxides, carbon monoxide 
and carbon dioxide, and 
methane all have a very 
negative effect on air 
quality. These pollutants 
can also contribute to the 
greenhouse effect.
Air 
Pollution 
Some air pollution is not directly caused by humans: for example, animals 
emit carbon dioxide when they breathe, and volcanoes release sulfur oxide. 
However, most air pollution is linked directly or indirectly to human activity. 
This means that air pollution can be best controlled by modifying human 
activity to burn a smaller quantity of fossil fuels.
Major Pollutants 
1. Carbon Monoxide 
2. Sulfur Dioxide 
3. Nitrogen Dioxide 
4. Particulate Matter 
5. Ground Level Ozone
The combination of these pollutants 
results in… 
SMOG
Smog 
The term "smog" was first used 
in London during the early 1900's 
to describe the combination of 
smoke and fog. What we typically 
call "smog" today is a mixture of 
pollutants but it is primarily made 
up of ground-level ozone. 
Smog is made up of a 
combination of air pollutants that 
can harm health and 
environment, and also damage 
property. 
Smog is a visible example of air 
pollution. You can look at the 
horizon during the day to see 
how much haze there is in the 
air.
What can we do to reduce air pollution? 
Answers vary, but may include: 
using less power (thus putting less 
demand on power plants); using 
cars less frequently; diminishing the 
amount of garbage.
