Remediation Techniques:

Reducing Emissions: Implementing regulations and technologies to reduce emissions from

industrial processes, vehicles, and other sources can help mitigate air pollution and its impact on
animals.

Afforestation and Reforestation: Planting trees and restoring degraded ecosystems can help
absorb pollutants from the air and improve air quality, benefiting both animals and humans.

Habitat Restoration: Restoring natural habitats and creating wildlife corridors can provide
animals with cleaner environments and reduce their exposure to pollutants.

Biofiltration: Using plants to filter pollutants from the air in urban areas can be an effective
remediation technique. Certain plant species are efficient at absorbing pollutants like particulate

Wetland Restoration: Wetlands act as natural filters, trapping pollutants and improving water
and air quality. Restoring and conserving wetland ecosystems can help mitigate air pollution and
its effects on animals.

Public Awareness and Education: Increasing public awareness about the impacts of air
pollution on animals and ecosystems can lead to behavioral changes and support for policies
aimed at reducing pollution.

Technology-Based Solutions: Advancements in technology, such as air purifiers and

electrostatic precipitators, can help remove pollutants from indoor and outdoor environments,
improving air quality for animals and humans alike.

Some personal steps which are very much important for reducing air pollution:-

Using public transports

Public transport contributes to less air pollution by reducing gas and energy consumption, and
carpooling can also contribute. It also saves money by reducing the number of vehicles on the
road and reducing traffic congestion. This pocket-friendly alternative helps reduce overall
emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and reduce overall emissions.

Turn off the lights when not in use

Turn off lights when not in use to reduce energy consumption and air pollution. Use energy-
saving fluorescent lights for a cleaner environment.
No to plastic bags
Plastic products take a long time to decompose and harm the environment. Paper bags are a
better alternative as they decompose easily and are recyclable.
Reduction of forest fires and smoking
Garbage burning and forest fires contribute to air pollution, as does smoking. These activities
degrade air quality and harm both the environment and human health.
Use of fans instead of Air Conditioners
Air conditioners consume a lot of energy and emit heat, which is harmful to the environment.
Fans are a more energy-efficient alternative.
Use filters for chimneys
Emissions from fireplaces in homes and factories contain harmful gases that worsen air
pollution. Installing filters can help reduce the release of these pollutants.
Avoid usage of crackers
Firecrackers used during festivals and weddings contribute significantly to air pollution, leading
to smog formation. Avoiding the use of crackers can help mitigate this pollution and protect
public health.
