Air pollution is defined as gases, dust, smells, and fumes in harmful amounts that are released into the air. Major causes include factories, increased population, and burning fossil fuels. Examples are acid rain, smog, and the greenhouse effect. Effects are damage to health, environment, and visibility. Solutions proposed include tighter emissions standards, cleaner fuels, and increased public transportation to address traffic as a significant source of pollution especially in cities like Mexico City.

2. causes
3. some of the numerical example to show pollution situation initiative taken by the government to control the measures
Air quality course related to citizen science and evidence-based policy-making in the context of a series of workshops with 2nd-year students at college.
Quality air is a scarce resource and Delhi has the worst air quality as per WHO study. Magneto Environmental Grouppe gives some respite by improving indoor air quality through its latest air purification technology.

Air Pollution: A New Approach on Global WarmingIJLT EMAS
In a move to curb pollution from the coal- based
power sector. The Union Ministry of Environment ,Forest and
Climate change(MOEF&CC) had announced new emission
limits for power stations ,both existing and upcoming. The
enhanced pace of developmental activities after industrial
revolution i.e. 18th century and rapid urbanization have resulted
in stress on natural resources and quality of life. Pollution is now
a common place term that our ears are attuned to. We hear
about the various forms of pollution and read about it through
the mass media. Air pollution is one such form that refers to the
contamination of the air, irrespective of indoors or outside. A
physical, biological or chemical alteration to the air in the
atmosphere can be termed as pollution. Thus air pollutants are
substances emitted into the air from an anthropogenic, biogenic,
or geogenic source, that is either not part of natural atmosphere
or is present in higher concentrations than the natural
atmosphere, and may cause a short term or long term adverse
effect. It occurs when any harmful gases, dust, smoke enters into
the atmosphere and makes it difficult for plants, animals and
humans to survive as the air becomes dirty. A WHO report
released in May 2014 showed that most of Indian cities are death
traps due to very high air pollution levels. The urban air quality
database of WHO, covering 1600 cities across 91 countries
showed that Indian cities are among those with highest levels of
(Particulate Matter) PM 10 and PM 2.5 and less. Black carbon is
also a kind of particulate matter, responsible for global warming.

Friends of the UNB Woodlot - 2nd Presentation to the Public Safety and Enviro...friendsoftheunbwoodlot
Friends of the UNB Woodlot made a presentation to the Public Safety and Environment Committee on April 06, 2012 this week.
Shale gas is an issue for Fredericton residents. It is an issue with the parents of children with asthma. It is an issue for a growing number of residents who read the health reports now coming out about the certainty of air pollution from shale gas operations, especially for residents living in a low-lying valley such as Fredericton. And it is an issue with the family physicians of New Brunswick who recently called on the Province for a moratorium.
We now know that the danger of air pollution is equal to the danger of water pollution. Unless you cover our city in a dome, air pollution from shale gas development that impact human health is a certainty. Known carcinogens & asthma-causing smog from shale gas wells, compressor stations, and pipelines will travel downwind over long distances and settle in low-lying valleys such as Fredericton.
Our presentation to City Council on April 10, 2012 stressed at the very beginning that our health concerns were about the shale gas development areas that surround Fredericton. The message to City Council was that with a formal ban using our zoning by-law, Fredericton City Council could push for a similar move by the Province. Fredericton has a Municipal Plan in place, and under the Community Planning Act of New Brunswick, our city has the right to make a zoning by-law or amendment against any high-impact industrial activity such as shale gas operations.
We are disappointed that our present Mayor and Council refused to take a leadership role in asking the Province for a ban or moratorium on shale gas. Our present Mayor and Council are pro-shale gas and our city is surrounded by shale gas exploration areas 10+kilometres in all directions.
In order to impose a ban on shale gas, we first need to reverse the vote already taken by the City of Fredericton. The public has been deliberately misled that the City of Fredericton has not taken a formal stand on shale gas. In fact, Fredericton voted against the shale gas moratorium resolution at the Union of the Municipalities of New Brunswick meeting last September 2011, a meeting attended by Mayor Brad Woodside and Councillor Stephen Chase. This resolution was put forward by the Town of Sackville for the Union to lobby the Province for a moratorium on shale gas but the resolution was narrowly defeated 22-to-18.

We have been seen or study the global warming changes rapidly by newspaper, media as well as govt. sources.
These environment changes through different modes such as volcanic eruption, landslides, nuclear war,
industries, and automotive engines exhaust etc. These are the main aspect for climate changes and inviting acid
rain. The automotive engines exhaust and its effect on atmosphere are the main responsible for the global
warming changes. The automotive engine such as I.C engine either that was diesel or petrol engine basically
these engine unburned exhaust gases should be polluted environment which was produce hydrocarbon carbon
monoxide as well as nitrous oxide particulate matter due to exhaust leakage, flamequinching, spark miss fire, or
mixed lubricant should be used.due to this reasons effect on atmosphere should be increased rapidly that
should destroyed the ozone layer and also effect on human health such as lung cancer, heart attack , skin
diseases and many more. The main reason for this research how to control automotive engine exhaust and its
effect on atmosphere .Basically many changes should be performed before that.
Sustainable development is defined as development that satisfies the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs. Sustainable development insists on the need to protect the diversity of genes, species, and all terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in nature. This is possible in particular to protect the quality of the environment, and by the restoration, development, and maintenance of habitats that are essential to species.
Effect of Adding Oxygen Containing Additives to Unleaded Gasoline on Exhaust ...ijiert bestjournal
As world population grew,power plants,factories a nd ever increasing automobiles began to pollute the air to the extent that it was no longer acceptable. During the late 1940s,air pollution as a problem was fir st recognized in the Los Angeles basin in California . Two causes of this were the large population densit y and the natural weather conditions of area. Smoke and other pollutants from many industries and automobiles combined with the fog that was common in this ocean area and smog resulted. By the 1960s emission standards were beginning to be enforced in Californ ia. Then various ways are investigated to reduce em issions from an IC engine. Oxygen containing additives are used to improve gasoline�s performance and reduce exhaust emissions is one of them. The main objectiv e of this work is to find can Dimethyl Carbonate is used to reduce emission? In view of the above,it is decide d to investigate the effect of adding Dimethyl Carb onate to unleaded gasoline on exhaust emission. The experime ntal setup to test blended fuel is prepared with mu lti cylinder four stroke spark ignition engine. The res ults indicate that CO and HC exhaust emissions are lower with the use of Dimethyl carbonate gasoline blended fuels as compared to the use of unleaded gasoline. The effect of above additive on NOx is insignificant.

5. Polluters: PM 2.5 Consists of microscopic material in the air, PM stands for particulate matter Producers: Friction and grinding processes of soil, rocks, or metals Emissions from combustion processes, Human activities Effect: reduces the distance at which we can see the color, clarity, and contrast of far away objects 7 http://www.zmescience.com/research/studies/carbon-dioxide-and-pollution-dont-mix-well/attachment/smog-2/
6. Particulates in the air as big as bacteria Producers: Exhaust emissions of cars or a fireplace, cigarette smoke (and many others similar) Vegetation Grinding, pulverizing (mining, quarrying, cement manufacturing Effect: large on annual death rates, PM10 7
