AIR POLLUTION
AIR POLLUTANT
An air pollutant is a substance in the air that can have
adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. The
substance can be solid particles, liquid droplets, or
gases. A pollutant can be of natural origin or manmade. Pollutants are classified as primary or
secondary. Primary pollutants are usually produced
from a process, such as ash from a volcanic eruption.
Other examples includeCarbon Monoxide gas from
motor vehicle exhaust, or theSulfur-Dioxidereleased
from factories. Secondary pollutants are not emitted
directly. Rather, they form in the air when primary
pollutants react or interact.Ground level ozoneis a
prominent example of a secondary pollutant. Some
pollutants may be both primary and secondary: they
are both emitted directly and formed from other
primary pollutants.
HOW IT IS CAUSED ?
Major primary pollutants produced by human
activity include:
Sulfur oxides(SO x)
o
Nitrogen oxides(NO x)
Chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)
Electrostatic precipitators
