1 Air Pollution Air Pollution and Weather Air pollution and weather are linked in two ways One way concerns the influence that weather conditions have on the dilution and dispersal of air pollutants . Indoor Air Quality. Indoor Air Pollution. Indoor air contains higher concentrations of pollutants than outdoor air (up to 70x). Indoor air pollution usually is a greater threat to human health than outdoor air pollution.. Outdoor Air Pollution. Stationary and Mobile Sources of Air Pollution. Two Sources of Air Pollution. 1. .

This can affect the environment very harmfully like when different chemicals and different gasses interfere with nature. . Boris A. Portnov.

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. . Dr Clare Beattie. Urban Air Quality Issues. Nitrogen dioxide – not achieving objectives. Particulate Matter (PM) – achieving objectives in Bristol. No threshold for health effects. All the health work relates to PM. 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..
