 MEANING OF AIR POLLUTION

AIR POLLUTION CAN BE DEFINED AS THE PRESENCE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS

OR COMPOUNDS (INCLUDING THOSE OF BIOLOGICAL ORGIN) IN THE AIR
AT LEVELS THAT POSE AT HEALTH RISK.IN AN EVENT BOADER SENSE,AIR

OF LIFE (SUGH AS THE DAMAGING OF THE OZONE LAYER OR CAUSING
GLOBAL WARMING)
 SOURCE OF AIR POLLUTION
TYPES OF SOURCE

THERE ARE FOUR MAIN TYPES OF AIR POLLUTION SOURCES:

 MOBILE SOURCE :-SUCH AS CARS,BUSES,PLANES,TRUCKS AND TRAINS.

 STATIONARY SOURCE:-SUCH AS POWER PLANTS,OIL REFINERIES,INDUSTRIAL

FACILITIES AND FACTORIES.

 AREA SOURCES:- SUCH AGRICULTURAL AREAS,CITIES AND WOOD BURNING FIRE

PLACES.

 NATURAL SOURCES:- SUCH AS WIND-BLOWN DUST,WILDFIRES AND VOLCNOES.
