"Breathing Life: Unraveling the Complexities of

Air Pollution and its Impact on Animals, Plant,
and Human Health in the Environment

AIR POLLUTION
A atmospheric condition in which
certain substances are present in
such concentrations that they can
produce undesirable effects on man
and his environment.

SOURCES OF AIR
POLLUTION
Stationary and Area Sources
Mobile Source

Natural Source
CLASSIFICATION OF
AIR POLLUTION
The variety of matter emitted
to the atmosphere by natural
and anthropogenic sources is
so diverse that it is difficult to
classify air pollutants.

PRIMARY
POLLUTANTS
Primary pollutants are
substances directly produced
and emitted by a process such
as ash from a volcanic eruption
or the carbon monoxide gas
from a motor vehicle exhaust

SECONDARY
POLLUTANTS
Secondary pollutants are not
directly emitted. Rather, they
form in the atmosphere by
chemical interactions among
primary pollutants and normal
atmospheric constituents.
