Content Definition of Air Pollution Types and Sources of Air Pollution Types of Pollutants Effects of Air Pollution Methods of Solving Air Pollution Suggestions to the HKSAR Sources of Information

Definition of Air Pollution Air pollution is the presence of any chemical, physical (e.g. particulate matter), or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.

Types of Air Pollution Local street-level pollution Air pollution in streets. Regional smog problem Smog problem in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta

Air Pollution Local street-level pollutionRegional smog problem Diesel vehicles and smoking Motor vehicles, industry and power plants

Types of Pollutants Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide Carbon dioxide Carbon monoxide Particulate matters Lead particles Smog

Effects of Air Pollution Affect the tourism Get respiratory diseases easily Acid rain - Vegetation - Aquatic life - Building materials

Effects of Air Pollution Greenhouse effect –Rise of sea-level –Changing rainfall patterns –Increase in agriculture production

Methods of solving air pollution Use public transports instead of private vehicles Set laws to restrict the amount of exhaust fumes from the vehicles These can reduce the exhaust gas produced by the vehicles,thus less pollutants will be formed. A public transport-bus

To reduce the number of waste incineration since this produces lots of pollutants To avoid the burning of fossil fuels as they contain a lot of polluting gases Avoid smoking in the public area in order to reduce the amount of toxic gases. Smoking produces lots of harmful gases. Set laws to control the amount of exhaust fumes produced by power stations and factories

Suggestions to the HKSAR Provide financial support to car owners for car maintenance regularly. Plant more trees along the road side.

Suggestions to the HKSAR Develop alternative power resource to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. Hong Kong Disneyland on 5th September Hong Kong Disneyland on 15th September
