2 Know the origin of indoor and outdoor air pollution

 Indoor air pollution are generated from households.

 Outdoor air pollution are generated outside the buildings.

3.2.1 State the pollutants from indoor and outdoor air pollution
Indoor Air Pollution Outdoor Air Pollution
- Asbestos - Products of combustion(CO, CO2,
- Radon NOx)
- Formaldehyde - Natural
- Biological Pollutant - Mobile
- Organic Material - Stationary

3.2.2 Give the example of sources of indoor and outdoor air pollution
Outdoor Air Pollution

3.2.3 Identify the passage of air pollutants to human and environment

Pollutant Environment Human
Ozone - Damage to vegetation, - Irritation of eyes and air
reduced plant growth and passages, lung inflammation
crop yields sensitivity of asthma
CO - - Reduce the capacity of blood
to carry oxygen
- Decreased exercise capacity
Fine - Reduced visibility(brown - Decreased lung function
particles haze) - Increased rates of respiratory
illness
- Excess mortality from heart
Air toxic - Possible bio-accumulative - Long-term health effect, even
effects (from accumulation at low concentrations
in food chain) - Can cause reproductive
dysfunction
