Air Pollution

definition release of harmful pollutants consists of:     smoke, soot, dust, gases, aerosols, vapors and odors  damage the environment and the health

Causes Human activities Natural process Burn fuels (i.e. coal and petroleum products) =>   formation of smoke destroys vegetation and crop plants    stops the growth of plants Natural gases and particles Mixing of dust particles in the air =>   contains lead particles (very toxic)     various allergic reactions  mental disorder and muscular paralysis  abnormalities in pregnancy volcanic eruption => raising of dust Mixing of bad odour (smell) in the air deposit of organic waste => produces gas from the organic solid waste: sulfur dioxide (SO) nitrogen dioxide (NO)  carbon (C) smoke from forest fires  Intensive mass animal farming => more produce of methane  decomposition of plant and animal remains  pollen grains

effects more than 2 million people died each year According to the WHO, ambient air pollution contributes to 6.7 percent of all deaths worldwide Most risk for very young/ old people/ those with vulnerable immune systems  Attacks by: carcinogenic (e.g. some volatile organic compounds) biologically active forces (e.g. some viruses) Radioactivity (e.g. radon) 

main cause of global warming Greenhouse effect         the atmosphere consists of: - argon    It reflects sunbeams When too much CO2 is produced => more heat stays in the atmosphere, which is the        main cause of global warming
