We live at the bottom of a thin layer of gases surrounding the earth called the atmosphere, which is divided into smaller spherical layers. In the troposphere, the layer closest to earth, about 75-80% of the earths air mass is found here.. Air pollution . -.  Harmful gases and tiny particles (like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and . sulphur. dioxide) when released into the air pollute the air. The smoke released from burning fuel, from factories and not to forget the motor cars are the major sources of air pollution. . NSC1280. Instructor Amy Pritt. July 26, 2016. Introduction. Human activity is causing pollution in our air quality which affect animals, our environment and our health. Alternatives are on the rise to help decrease pollutants in our air which otherwise would increase environmental issues and our health. There maybe some obstacles in changing over how we produce energy but the benefits are worth the challenge in getting more people involved in using alternative resources.. = gases & particulate material added to the atmosphere. Can affect climate or harm people. Air pollution. = the release of pollutants. Outdoor (ambient) air pollution. = pollution outside.

Air is one of the components of environmental health on which all forms of life . depends. It is the Earth’s atmosphere. It is the clear gas in which living things live and breathe. Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to the . health.  of . humans.  and other . living beings. .. Air pollution can cause diseases, allergies, and even death to humans; it can also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and  Air pollution can be caused by both human activities and natural phenomena.. quality. ?. Air quality can be defined as the cleanness of air which is determined by the pollution level. . Low levels of air quality and thus high levels of air pollution lead to an increase in public health issues. . DISEASES IN ASIA-PACIFIC REGION. Mukhtar Ikhsan.
