What is it?

 CSE-1(Y)/4TH SEM

• Any visible or invisible particle or gas found in the

air that is not part of the original, normal
composition.

How Air get

polluted?

 CSE-1(Y)/4TH SEM

•Natural: forest fires, pollen, dust storm

•Unnatural: man-made: coal, wood and other fuels

used in cars, homes, and factories for energy

AQI: Air Quality Index

•Indicates whether pollutant levels in air may
cause health concerns.

•Ranges from 0 (least concern) to 500

(greatest concern)

Air Quality Air Quality Index Protect Your Health

Good 0-50 No health impacts are expected when air
quality is in this range.
Moderate 51-100 Unusually sensitive people should
consider limiting prolonged outdoor
exertion.
Unhealthy for Sensitive 101-150 Active children and adults, and people
Groups with respiratory disease, such as asthma,
should limit prolonged outdoor exertion.
Unhealthy 151-200 Active children and adults, and people
with respiratory disease, such as asthma,
should limit prolonged outdoor exertion,
everyone else, especially children should
limit prolonged outdoor excertion.
Very Unhealthy (Alert) 201-300 Active children and adults, and people
with respiratory disease, such as asthma,
should limit prolonged outdoor exertion
everyone else, especially children,
should limit outdoor exertion.

SMOG
• Combination of gases with water vapor and dust
• Combination of smoke and fog
• Forms when heat and sunlight react gases
(photochemical smog)
• Occurs often with heavy traffic, high
temperatures, and calm winds

•1st smog related deaths were in London in

1873; death toll 500 people; can you imagine
how much worse the atmosphere is now?!
•Limits visibility
•Causes respiratory problems and bronchial
related deaths

The Other Problems

14
•Green House Effect: Global rise in CSE-1(Y)/4TH SEM

temperature (Global warming), Melting of the

polar ice caps, Thinning of Ozone layer

•Global Warming: Destructive floods and

loss of human and animal life, Leading to rise in
sea level

15
 CSE-1(Y)/4TH SEM

•Acid Rain: Change the composition of soil

and bodies of water, Making them unhealthy,
Effects on marble(Stone Cancer)

•Thinning of Upper Ozone Layer: Skin

cancer and other severe diseases, Less
photosynthesis of plant, Effects on ecosystem

• Tell your friends and family about pollution
