Air Pollution Solutions

Pollution is becoming a major problem for human health. There are many reasons for that. One reason for pollution in the air is natural dust. All kinds of harmful particles enter the air due to the operation of factories or forest fires, which causes pollution in the environment. When there is a fire in the forest, it burns the forest to ashes and this ash spreads pollution when it enters the air. The second biggest reason is the increase in population and to provide means for people to eat and drink and move, due to which scooters, cars and their industries grow, thermal power plants increase, cars speed up, in the natural environment Change has to happen.

Pollution is also increasing rapidly due to increasing population. Whether pollution is due to water or air, it has destroyed the health of humans. Because of this pollution, if someone has cancer, then someone has sugar or heart disease. When population increases, it is necessary that human needs are met.

There are three varieties of pollution in particular. Water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution. But we would like to talk about air pollution and human life here.

Air pollution is a pollution due to which human health is getting worse every day and it is also having a very bad effect on the environment. This pollution is playing a major role in diluting the layer of ozone, due to which you will feel as if the air has been polluted as soon as you step outside the house. One can see the clouds of smoke coming out of the chimneys of buses, scooters, cars, factories. How much fly ash (particles of ash scattered in air) from thermal power plants is polluting the air, how much the speed of cars is increasing pollution on the road. Cigarette smoke is also second in polluting the air.

Due to air pollution

Where there are more pollutants polluting the air, burning sensation in the eyes, chest tightness and coughing are common. Some people feel it and some people do not feel it but due to this, they start breathing. Air pollution is also a sign of angina (a heart disease) or asthma (a lung disease), or sudden health deterioration. As the pollution in the air starts to disappear, the health recovers. Some people are very fragile, on whom the effect of air pollution becomes very fast and quick and some people are late. Children are more fragile than adults, so air pollution has a greater effect on them. And they fall ill. Because of which diseases such as varum and bronchitis occur in children. Children should be kept indoors during times of high air pollution, so that they can be protected from air pollution.

Air pollution and its foundation

Carbon Mono Oxide: It is a semi carbon produced from petrol, diesel fuel and wood burning. It is also produced from cigarettes. This creates a decrease in oxygen which causes trouble in our sleep.

Carbon d Oxide: It is a greenhouse gas. When humans burn coal oil and natural gas, burning them all produces carbon dioxide gas.

Chloro-fluoro carbon: It is a chemical that destroys ozone. When it is used for air conditioning and refrigeration, its particles reach the stratosphere of our atmosphere by mixing with air and damaging the ozone layer consisting of other gases. This ozone layer protects animals and flora on the ground from ultraviolet rays that harm the sun. This is why chloro-fluoro carbon is a big threat to humans and other biological world.

Lead: Lead is found in diesel, petrol, batteries, paint and hair dyes etc. Lead especially affects children. This worsens the functioning of the brain and stomach. It can also cause cancer.

Ozone: The ozone layer is the uppermost layer of the stratosphere in the atmosphere. It is a special and important gas. Its function is to prevent the ultraviolet rays which harm the sun from coming on the surface of the land. Yet it is highly contaminated on the ground surface and also poisonous. Ozone emanates in large numbers from clusters. Ozone causes watery eyes and irritation.

Nitrogen Oxide: This causes haze and acid rain. This gas is produced by the burning of petrol, diesel and coal. This causes many types of diseases in children which are common in winter.

Suspended Particulate Matter: SPM: These are solids, fumes, dust particles in the air which remain in the air for a particular time. Due to which the lungs are damaged and have trouble breathing.

'Sulfur dioxide': When coal is burnt in a thermal power plant, the gas that comes out of it is 'sulfur dioxide' gas. Sulfur dioxide is also present in gases used to smelt metal and prepare paper. This gas is very helpful in producing haze and in acid rain. Sulfur dioxide causes lung diseases.

How to avoid air pollution

1. The government should make such policies that employees work from home. Go to office only once a week. And now it is possible with the advent of information technology. For example, 35% of the people working in the corporate sector of America visit office only one day a week. The rest of the work is done at home. Due to which there is no cost for their transportation and also air pollution does not increase. Those people take the time to come and use them for other purposes. Such as - Gardening.

2. Use more and more bicycles.

3. Use public transport.

4. Do not leave children in school by car, but encourage them to go to school transport.

5. Ask the people in your house to make a carpool so that they can sit in the same car and go to the office. This will also save fuel and reduce pollution.

6. Take care of trees and plants around your houses properly.

7. Do not use electricity when not needed.

8. Run in the room where cooler fan or air conditioning is necessary, keep the rest closed.

9. If you have dry leaves in your garden, do not burn them, but make it compost.

10. Get your car's pollution checked at an interval of every three months.

11. Use only lead-free petrol. The effect of pollution is less in the houses than outside, so when pollution is more, then go inside the houses.
