A REVIEW ON AIR POLUTION

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Air Pollution emissions have been a leading threat to the world, as the world has become more and more industrialized over the past century. The air we breathe in use to be pure and fresh. But, due to increasing industrialization and concentration of poisonous gases in the environment the air is getting more and more toxic day by day. Also, these gases are the cause of many respiratory and other diseases. Moreover, the rapidly increasing human activities like the burning of fossil fuels; deforestation is the major cause of air pollution. The fossil fuel, firewood, and other things that we burn produce oxides of carbons which got released into the atmosphere. Earlier there happens to be a large number of trees which can easily filter the air we breathe in. But with the increase in demand for land, the people started cutting down of trees which caused deforestation. That ultimately reduced the filtering capacity of the tree. Moreover, during the last few decades, the numbers of fossil fuel burning vehicle increased rapidly which increased the number of pollutants in the air. The air pollution has many bad effects on the health of people. It is the cause of many skins and respiratory disorder in human beings.
