Atmospheric Pollution
By Sharon 9411
What is Atmospheric Pollution?
The presence in the air of one or more contaminants in such a concentration and of such duration as to cause a nuisance or to be injurious to human life, animal life or vegetation.
What are pollutants?
A pollutant is a substance or energy introduced into the environment that has undesired effects, or adversely affects the usefulness of a resource. These can be both naturally forming or anthropogenic in origin . Pollutants result in environmental pollution or become public health concerns when they reach a concentration high enough to have significant negative impacts.
Types of pollutants
Sulphur Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide
Nitric Oxide
Carbon dioxide is one of the main pollutants. It is a primary pollutant, which means it is emitted into the environment directly by human and natural sources.
Sulphur Dioxide pollution occurs primarily from emissions produced by fossil fuel–powered engines, volcanic eruptions and vehicles.
Nitrogen oxides are produced in combustion processes mostly by direct combination of atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen in flames. Usually caused by lightnings.
