Introduction

Air pollution is a critical environmental issue affecting ecosystems


and human health. This report aims to explore the major pollutants,
their sources, effects, and control technologies. The discussion is
structured into theoretical background, methodology, findings,
analysis, and mitigation strategies, concluding with key takeaways
and practical implications.

Types of Air Pollutants
[Link] Pollutants: Directly emitted from sources (e.g., carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, particulate matter).
[Link] Pollutants: Formed by reactions in the atmosphere (e.g., ozone, smog,
peroxyacetyl nitrates).

Sources of Air Pollution


•Industrial Emissions: Factories, power plants.
•Vehicular Emissions: Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines.
•Natural Sources: Volcanic eruptions, wildfires.
•Household Emissions: Use of biomass fuels, smoking.

Effects of Air Pollution


•Health Impacts: Respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, lung cancer.
•Environmental Effects: Acid rain, smog formation, climate change.

Air Pollution Control Technologies
[Link] Measures: Emission standards, policies like the Clean
Air Act.
[Link] Solutions:
1. Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP) – Removes particulate matter.
2. Scrubbers – Reduces sulfur dioxide emissions.
3. Catalytic Converters – Minimizes vehicle emissions.
4. Baghouse Filters – Used in industrial applications.
5. Alternative Fuels and Renewable Energy Sources – Reduces dependency
on fossil fuels.

Conclusion
Air pollution remains a significant challenge, requiring a multi-faceted
approach combining regulatory measures, technological innovations, and
sustainable practices. Advanced air pollution control methods, combined with
proactive governance, can significantly mitigate adverse effects. The practical
implications of these measures extend to public health improvement and
environmental sustainability.
