How does the air get polluted?
• It gets polluted by the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological matter that can cause some big problems to humans, organisms, or damages to the environment into the atmosphere.

Continued…
• Air pollution can be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases.
• It is also concentrated in densely populated metropolitan areas.

Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• It’s a greenhouse gas emitted from combustion but it is also gas vital to living organisms.
• It is also a natural gas in the atmosphere.

Nitrogen Oxide (Cox)
• Nitrogen oxide is emitted by high temperature combustion.
• It can be seen as brown haze dome above downwind of cities.

Sulfur Oxide
• Is produced by volcanoes and industrial process.

Carbon Monoxide
• It’s a colorless, odorless, nonirritating, but it is a poisonous gas.
• It’s a product of incomplete combustion of natural gas, coal, or wood.

Volatile Organic compounds
• It’s a very important outdoor air pollutant.

Particulate Matter
• They are tiny particles that are solid or liquid trapped in a gas.

Radioactive Pollutants
• They are produced by nuclear explosions, war explosions, and natural processes.

Anthropogenic sources of air pollution.
• Stationary sources-smoke stacks of power plants, manufacturing facilities, and waste incinerators.
• Mobile sources-marine vessels, motor vehicles, aircraft, and the effect of sound etc.

What kind of things can pollution do to humans?
• Air pollution can cause people to have the following
• Heart Disease• Emphysema• Lung cancer

Natural Sources of air pollution.
• Dust from natural sources, usually large areas of land with little or no vegetation.
• Methane, emitted by the digestion

How can we keep this from happening?
• Make things that don’t put any pollution in the air like hybrid cars and just have solar energy.
