How to Reduce air pollution

Vehicles are a major source of this sort of pollution and we can attempt to lower pollution from vehicle combustion by using vehicles less, keeping the vehicle properly maintained to lower smoke emissions and by using unleaded gasoline. Large-scale industries such as factories also contribute largely to the pollution of air as they also burn fuel which is released into the
