DEPARTMENTS OF COMMUNITY MEDICINE amp PUBLIC HEALTH Introduction Air is one of the components of environmental health on which all forms of life depends It is the Earths atmosphere It is the clear gas in which living things live and breathe. ORGANIC AIR POLLUTANTS. Acrylonitrile. Benzene. Butadiene. Carbon disulfide. Carbon monoxide. 1,2-Dichloroethane. Dichloromethane. Formaldehyde. Polycycli aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 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.. Pollution Control to save. the Earth. Environmental Pollution: . Definition – Causes, pollution effects and control measures of Air, Water, Soil, Marine, Noise, Thermal, Nuclear hazards. Solid waste management: causes, effects and control measures of urban and industrial wastes, pollution measures, case studies, Disaster management: floods, earthquake, cyclone and landslides.. LT 7C: Describe the major outdoor and indoor air pollution problems, discuss the causes and effects of these problems and explain possible solutions to them..  . Outdoor Air Pollution. The presence of chemicals in the atmosphere in concentrations high enough to harm organisms, ecosystems, or human-made materials, or to alter the climate. 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.

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.. Habitat. Ecosystem.

What are examples of pollution near your school?. Stretch across much of India, Bangladesh, China, and the western Pacific Ocean. Air pollution connects the world. Pollutants can circle the globe in about two weeks. Stricter air pollution standards and continued shifts towards cleaner fuels are needed. Green Budget Europe Event. Dr. Aonghus McNabola.

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..
