The document discusses air pollution, its causes, effects, and potential remedies. It notes that air is composed primarily of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases, and that humans breathe about 30-60 kg of air per day. Air pollution is defined as any substance that may harm humans or other living things when present in the air. The main causes of air pollution are the release of pollutants from industrial activities and vehicles. Air pollutants can be primary or secondary, natural or man-made. They affect vegetation, climate change, and materials. Suggested remedies include creating public awareness, monitoring pollution levels, reducing the pollution load, enforcing laws, and improving pollution control devices.

2. Atmosphere is mixture of gases that surround sphere of earth which we call AIR. A normal human being breathes about 25000 liter/day. (about 30 to 60 kg) A ir

3. Composition of Air Oxygen =21%; Nitrogen =78%; Argon =0.09%; Carbon dioxide= 0.03% And other trace elements and compounds are: methane, ozone, hydrogen sulphide, carbon monoxide etc. 06/08/09

4. Air Pollution According to Indian air amendment act, 1987, air pollution means any solid, liquid or gaseous substance present in the ambient atmosphere in such concentration that may tend to be injurious to human beings or other living creatures. 06/08/09 XIDAS

9. Remedial Measures Create awareness among all walks of people in society; Regular monitoring of the existing level of air pollution to improve the quality of air; To reduce the total pollution load on the atmosphere; Proper Implementation of “The Air Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 ” 06/08/09
