The causes that contribute to the air
pollution
1. Exhaust of vehicles
Vehicles will pollutant smoke.
Those smoke is also one of the factor that cause gobal warming
and green house effect.
The effects of the pollution :cause breathing problems
(Humans),decrease the sunlight reaching the Earth(Plant)
Way to control : Encourage car pooling.
Vehicle exhausts Pollutants:
Carbon monoxide
Sulphur dioxide
Nitrogen dioxide

The effect of the pollutants Haze-reduces visibility

-reduces quality of life
Healthy problem(human)
-cause asthma
-Breathing problem

Method to prevent it: Encourage car -pooling.

2.Air conditioner & Refrigerator
Air conditioner and refrigerator will pollutant
chlorofluorocarbon(CFC).
Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) thinning of the ozone layer.
How to solve this problem?
Choose refrigerators which use hydrochlorofluorocarbon
(HCFC)

Air conditioner & Refrigerator Pollutants:

Bad impact:
Way to decrese the pollutants
Chorofluorocarbon (CFC)
Excess chorofluorocarbons
(CFC)causes thinning od ozone
layer.
Choose refrigerators which use
hydrochlorofluorocarbon
(HCFC)
3.Factories
Factories will release smoke, carbon monoxide ,dust ect.
Smoke and dust can causes breathing problems .Beside
carbon monoxide can cause head ache, mental retardation
and death.
Method to decrease the level of pollution in an area:
Install filters in smoke chumneys at factories.
Factories Pollutants:
Smoke Soot
Dust Carbon monoxide
Sulphur dioxide Nitrogen dioxide
Lead
Bad impact: Sulphur dioxide cause acid rain and respiratory
problems.
What acid rain cause?
-Speed up iron rusting
-Makes the soil acidic and less fertile.
Ways to prevent air Prohibit factories from being built at housing areas.
pollution:
5. Smoke
Smoke will pollutant dust ,smoke ,carbon monoxide and
benzene.
Carbon monoxide will cause head ache,death ,mental
retardation.
Way to solve this problem:
Smoke Pollutants:
Educate students about the effects of air pollution.
Dust
Smoke
Carbon monoxide
Benzene
Bad impact: Carbon monoxide:Head ache
Death,mental retardation.
Way to control: Organise anti-smoking campaigns.
Smokers who smoke at resticted
areas.
6. Construction sites
Construction sites are also a reason that cause air
pollution .This is because construction sites will release
dust
The bad impact of dust :Those asbestos particles can
cause lung cancer.
Way to prevent the air pollution became serios :Prohibit
fatories from being built at housing areas
Construction sites Pollutants:
Dust
Bad impact: Asbestos particles can cause lung
cancer.

Way to prevent air pollution : Prohibit fatories from being built at

housing areas.
7. Open burning
Open burning and combustion
Bad impact
Method to prevent air pollution
Open burning and combustion is also one of the effect that cause air
pollution.
Pollutants:
Soot
Smoke
What is the effect to the living things?
Carbon monoxide
Combustion will release two type gases called carbon dioxide and
Carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide. They will cause mental retardation and death.
Carbon monoxide: head ache,
death ,mentalDoes it have any method to solve it ?
retardation
Smoke and soot :Breathing
problems Prohibit individuals who conduct open burning
Prohibit individuals who conduct
open burning
8.Asbestos particles
Asbestos particles will pollutant
chlorofluorocarbon(CFC).
Chlorofluorocarbon(CFC) thinning of the ozone layer.
How to solve this problem?
Replace the use of oesticide with biological control to
control pest.
Asbestos particles Pollutants:
Chorofluorocarbon (CFC)
Bad impact: Excess chorofluorocarbons
(CFC)causes thinning od
ozone layer.
Way to decrese the Replace the use of oesticide
pollutants with biological control to
control pest.
