Effects of Air Pollution Dust Particles of small sizes damages lungs– causing respiratory symptoms like
cough, wheezing, asthma etc
Excess Carbon Monoxide can cause death
Excess CO2 , CH4 (Green house gases)
causing Global warming
Polar ice caps melting
Higher sea levels floods

Effects of Air Pollution Cancer causing potential of diesel exhaust is very high
Poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and particulate matter of diesel exhaust 10 times more potent to cause mutation
NOx reduces oxygen carrying capacity of blood, can cause cancer, emphysema
NOx Ozone respiratory problems

Protect Environment (What can we do?)
Preventive action is the best
Spread the awareness among people
Conduct epidemiological studies– how air quality affects health????????
Pressurize governments for proper policies for e.g.
- prevent dieselization of private vehicles
Promote usage of bicycles
Use alternative energy resources-solar,wind…

You can help Never throw rubbish away any how. Always look for the correct waste bin. If there is none around,
please take it home and put it in your trash can. This includes places like the beach, riverside and water bodies.
Use water wisely. Do not keep the tap running when not in use. Also, you can reduce the amount of water you use in washing and bathing. If we all do this, we can significantly prevent water shortages and reduce the amount of dirty water that needs treatment.
Do not throw chemicals, oils, paints and medicines down the sink drain, or the toilet. In many cities, your local environment office can help with the disposal of medicines and chemicals. Check with your local authorities if there is a chemical disposal plan for local residents.
Buy more environmentally safe cleaning liquids for use at home and other public places. They are less dangerous to the environment.
If you use chemicals and pesticides for your gardens and farms, be mindful not to overuse pesticides and fertilizers. This will reduce runoffs of the chemical into nearby water sources. Start looking at options of composting and using organic manure instead.
If you live close to a water body, try to plant lots of trees and flowers around your home, so that when it rains, chemicals from your home does not easily drain into the water.
