Diseases From Air Pollutants BY: ADRIAN MERINA

INTRODUCTION AIR POLLUTANTS CAN BE FOUND IN AIR ANYWHERE CAN BE DIVIDED IN TO 3 GROUPS CRITERIA POLLUTANTS AIR TOXIC BIOLOGICAL POLLUTANTS 4 MAJOR SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION TRANSPORTATION ENGINES POWER & HEAT GENERATION INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES BURNING OF SOLID WASTE http://www.extranheattransfer.com.au/industries/power-generation/ http://clipartheaven.com/show/clipart/public_issues/pollution_09-gif.html http://web1.cnre.vt.edu/lsg/GEOG3104S10Web/Group2/Open%20Waste%20Burning.html http://ddmech.com/portfolio/industrial-process-piping/

OZONE GROUND LEVEL OR BAD OZONE SUNNY WEATHER REACTION WITH SUNLIGHT OF POLLUTANTS SUCH AS NITROGEN OXIDE FROM VEHICLES AND INDUSTRY EMISSIONS AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS EMITTED BY VEHICLES, SOLVENTS AND INDUSTRY http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/OzoneWeBreathe/ozone_we_breathe2.php http://www.globalsherpa.org/china-air-pollution-health-environment

Make it more difficult to breathe deeply and vigorously. Cause shortness of breath and pain when taking a deep breath. Scratchy throat. Inflame and damage the airways. Aggravate lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis. Increase the frequency of asthma attacks. Make the lungs more susceptible to infection. Continue to damage the lungs even when the symptoms have disappeared. http://wallpoper.com/wallpaper/air-pollution-443061

PARTICULATE MATTER AFFECT MORE PEOPLE THAN OTHER POLLUTANT CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO PARTICLE CONTRIBUTES TO THE RISK OF DEVELOPING CARDIOVASCULAR, RESPIRATORY DISEASES & LUNG CANCER HAS A QUANTITATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO HIGH CONCENTRATION OF SMALL PARTICULATES INCREASED MORTALITY OR MORBIDITY BOTH DAILY AND OVERTIME http://saferenvironment.wordpress.com/2008/09/05/coal-fired-power-plants-and-pollution/ http://gifsoup.com/view/5107380/air-pollution.html

MICROSCOPIC SOLID AND LIQUID DROPLETS 10 MICRONS OR LESS PREMATURE DEATH IN PEOPLE NONFATAL HEART ATTACKS IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT AGGRAVATED ASTHMA DECREASED LUNG FUNCTION INCREASED RESPIRATORY SYSTOMS http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/experts-call-for-crackdown-on-black-carbon/article2107281.ece http://inhabitat.com/air-pollution-fighting-road-treatment-breaks-down-auto-emissions/

CARBON MONOXIDE COLOURLESS & ODOURLESS GAS FORM BY NATURALLY AND BY MAN’S ACTIVITIES PREVENT THE TRANSPORT OF OXYGEN AROUND THE BODY REDUCE OXYGEN DELIVERY TO THE BODY ORGANS AND TISSUE COULD HARM BABIES NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE CARBON MONOXIDE http://www.earthtimes.org/green-blogs/green-living/icelandic-eruption-alpine-air-pollution-31-Aug-11/

NITROGEN OXIDE A TOXIC GAS THE MAIN SOURCE OF NITRATE AEROSOLS FORM AN IMPORTANT FRACTION OF PM2.5 AND THE UV LIGHT OF OZONE SIGNIFICANT INFLAMMATION OF THE AIRWAYS REDUCE LUNG FUNCTION GROWTH BROCHITIS IN ASTHMATIC CHILD LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO NITROGEN OXIDE . http://www.thesilverink.com/chinas-weather-officials-warns-climate-change-would-have-huge-impact/2815/

SULFUR DIOXIDE A COLOURLESS GAS WITH A SHARP ODOUR http://www.china-mike.com/facts-about-china/facts-pollution-environment-energy/ A COLOURLESS GAS WITH A SHARP ODOUR PRODUCED FROM THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS AND THE SMELTING OF MINERAL ORES AFFECT RESPIRATORY SYSTEM AFFECT THE FUNCTIONS OF THE LUNGS CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE EYES http://science.lotsoflessons.com/pollution.html
