This document discusses air pollution prevention and management. It defines air pollution and lists its main causes as particulate matter, exhaust fumes, carbon gases, and emissions from industries and vehicles. It then outlines the sources of air pollution as mobile, stationary, area, and natural sources. The effects of air pollution include global warming, respiratory illnesses, and reduced life expectancy. It concludes with an overview of Pakistan's air pollution management framework including the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act which requires projects to assess environmental impacts.

3. Presentation Plan
• Air pollution
• Causes of air pollution
• Sources of air pollution
• Air pollution side effects
• How to prevent air pollution
• Air pollution management in Pakistan

4. Pollution
• Presence of the dangerous and poisonous
substance in the atmosphere that badly
effects the environment

5. Air Pollution
• It is a broad term applied to all the
physical, chemical, and biological agents
that may modify or change the natural
characteristics of the atmosphere and the
environment.

6. Causes of Air Pollution
•Particulate matter
•Exhaust fumes
•Carbon Gases
•Filters air conditioning
•Chemicals and toxic
•Agricultural and construction industry.
•Household chemicals

7. Greenhouse effect
The planet has been affected in current times with the
greenhouse gasses which is detrimental to maintaining life and
sustainable environment on earth. “Kyoto Protocol”, The Kyoto
Protocol is a document signed by about 180 countries at Kyoto,
Japan, in December 1997.
The industries in Pakistan should also be involved; if one actually
invests in projects and get carbon credit that is going to be
credited on commodity exchange. It is the first environmental
commodity of the world and the predictions of the World Bank
are that this market is going to be somewhere in the range of 5
to 10 billion dollars a year on exchange on this carbon emission
Prevention Of Air Pollution (long Term)

8. • Pollution from factories
There is also pressure from the lenders; almost all the banks
of the world say that the industries that don’t meet the
environmental criteria will not be given money.
• Cutting of forests
We must also develop the strategy for carbon financing at
policy level. Through this mechanism the developed
countries of the world are going to provide financial aid in
this regard.
• Running of old vehicles on road
• Exploiting IT technology for Environment Protection

9. • Take public transport or carpool!
If you choose to take the car rather than the train or bus, for
instance, you will generate several times more ozone pollution
• Walk or use the bike!
45 % of the ozone precursors and 38 % of the particulate matter
emitted in Europe comes from transport.
• If you have to use your car…!
Make sure to have the right tyre pressure. If the pressure is down
by 0.5 bars, the car needs 5 % more fuel and also gives off
more pollution
• Save electricity!
Less electricity consumed means less power produced and fewer
pollutants into the air from burning of fossil fuels.

10. There are four main types of air pollution sources:
•Mobile sources – such as cars, buses, planes,
trucks, and trains
•Stationary sources – such as power plants, oil
refineries, industrial facilities, and factories
•Area sources – such as agricultural areas, cities,
and wood burning fireplaces
•Natural sources – such as wind-blown dust,
wildfires, and volcanoes

11. Sources of Air Pollution
There are four main types of air pollution sources:
•Mobile sources – such as cars, buses, planes,
trucks, and trains
•Stationary sources – such as power plants, oil
refineries, industrial facilities, and factories
•Area sources – such as agricultural areas, cities,
and wood burning fireplaces
•Natural sources – such as wind-blown dust,
wildfires, and volcanoes

13. Air Pollution Side Effects
• Global warming and air pollution are two problems
caused by the combustion of fossil fuels.
• The burning of coal, oil and natural gas produces not
only greenhouse gases but also a range of harmful air
pollutants, including ozone, airborne particulates,
sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

14. Kinds of air pollution-related symptoms such as:
•Watery eyes
•Coughing
•Wheezing
•Respiratory irritation
•Trigger strokes

15. Long-Term Exposure to
Polluted Air
• Accelerated aging of the lungs
• Reduction of lungs capacity
• Decreased lung function
• Development of diseases such as asthma,
bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly cancer
• Shortened life span

16. Air pollution Management in
Pakistan
• Foundation of Pakistan Environmental
Protection Ordinance (PEPO)
• Projects importance in the light of
Ordinance
• Rename of PEPO to Pakistan
Environmental Protection Act (PEPA)

17. • The PEPA under section 12, states that any
project (public or private sector), are required
to prepare an Initial Environmental
Examination (IEE)
• Policies have been made under supervision
of Country’s law making authorities
