6Air Pollution
• Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particles or biological material that cause harm or discomfort to humans or are unhealthy for humans or other living organisms plants and animals, or damage the natural enviornment into the atmosphere.• Any visible or invisible particle or gas found in the air that is
not part of the original, normal composition of air

8What are air pollutants
• A substance in the air that can cause harm to humans other living organisms (including plants and animals) or the enviornment is known as air Pollutants• Or• Things that pollute air are call air pollutants

22Types of pollutants•Secondary pollutants• (formaldehydes)• A secondary pollutant is not directly emitted as such, but
forms when other pollutants (primary pollutants) react in the atmosphere. E.g (smog)
• SO3 , SO4 , H2SO4 , HNO3 , NO3 , O3
Salts , H2O2 , peroxyacetyl nitrate (PANs)
• Are even more dangerous than primary 12/04/2014

34Natural sources
I. Atmospheric Reactions In the atmosphere, different types of
chemical reactions are always going on. In the lower atmosphere the gases and
vapours are always converted into solids and liquids by condensation or oxidation.
In the upper atmosphere, the photochemical reations are going on by the absorption of ultra-violet solar radiations.

48Mining operations
• Mining is a process wherein minerals below the earth are extracted using large qeuipments.
• During the process dust chemicals are released in air causing massive air pollution.
• This is one of the reason which is responsible for the deteriorating health conditions of workers and neardy residents,

57Air pollution management
Air pollution management aims at the elimination, or reduction to acceptable levels, of airborne gaseous pollutants, suspended particulate matter and physical and, to a certain extent, biological agents whose presence in the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on human health
Or To reduce or eliminate the air pollutants from air
which is harmful for humans and other organisms is known as air pollution management

58Air pollution management • Typical measures in air quality management are
control measures at the source• for example• enforcement of the use of catalytic converters in
vehicles or of emission standards in incinerators, land-use planning • shut-down of factories or reduction of traffic
