Jack Bartlett, Jose Sanchez, and Noah Wagner . Pollution is the act of introducing harmful substances into the environment. This can affect the environment very harmfully like when different chemicals and different gasses interfere with nature. . 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. . Green Budget Europe Event. Dr. Aonghus McNabola. School of Engineering.

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. Has recently decreased due to government policy and improved technologies in developed countries. 2. ). 20.95% Oxygen (O. 2. ). 0-4% Water Vapor (H. 2.
