Natural causes such as volcanic eruptions, forest fires, animals, and hurricanes all contribute to air pollution by releasing gases and particulates into the atmosphere. Man-made causes are the primary drivers of air pollution through activities like farming, construction, vehicular transportation, industries, refuse disposal, noise pollution, poor urban planning, and household activities. These human factors release a variety of exhausts, fumes, dust, and chemicals that damage the environment. The paper concludes by examining solutions to address the growing problem of air pollution.

2. ABSTRACT
• My research paper clarifies the contributors of air
pollution. Beginning with natural causes and then
to the mad-made. It describes the contributors and
there impact on the worlds environment. It then
concludes with an idea of how to resolve the
amassing problem.

3. NATURAL D SASTERS CAUSE AIR
POLLUTION
• Volcanic eruptions - Release Sulfur Dioxide(SO2) into the air along with many other
gases. The air produced also suffocates animals and humans and destroys houses,
plants, and trees.
• Forest fires/wild fires – The smoke released damages the atmosphere.
• Animals - Such as cows release a lot of methane gas.
• Hurricanes – Litter the earth with the man made materials such as plastic, housing
materials, and hazardous liquids into the ocean.
• Soil erosion & Dust storms/wind storms – Helps hazardous or unhealthy materials
easily travel on earth surface. (littering)

4. MAN MADE D SASTERS THAT
CAUSE AIR POLLUTION
• Farming - Emitting foul odors, airborne particles, greenhouse gases, and numerous toxic
chemicals.
• Construction - Including paved and unpaved road dust.
• Motor Vehicles/& Other Transportation Services – Exhaust.
• Industries/Industries - Smoke stack gases and fumes.
• Space Heating – Emissions from houses, apartments, offices, stores, restaurants, hotels, clubs,
hospitals, laundries, and dry cleaners.
• Refuse Disposal - Material that is burned in municipal, industrial and commercial incinerators, in
apartment
house incinerators, or in open dumps.
• Commercial and Agricultural Activities - Demolition, construction, and spray painting are most
common. Also field burning and dusting and spraying of the fields with pesticides.

5. CON’T...
• Noise Pollution - Industrialization using big machines with large amounts of
noise.
• Poor urban planning - In most developing countries, congested households,
disruption of environmental society, social events marriage, parties, pub, disc
or place of worship,
• Transportation - Vehicles on roads, airplanes, underground trains,
construction, mining, construction of bridges, dams, buildings, stations, and
roads.
• Household chores - Mobile, mixer grinder, pressure cooker, vacuum
cleaners , washing machine and dryer, cooler, air conditioners are minor
contributors.
