Air Pollution: A Study of Its Concept, Causes, Sources and Effects
Air pollution is very important topic for those interested in studying the environment because of its importance and the damage caused by it to human, animal and plant life. This research addresses the concept of air pollution, its causes, and its danger, and sheds light on the influence of climate elements on environmental pollution and the effect of temperature, rain, humidity, wind direction and speed, and atmospheric pressure on the increase or decrease of air pollution. This research discusses the sources of air pollution, including natural ones, including dust, smoke resulting from fires, erupting volcanoes, and others, including those resulting from human uses such as the use of fuel and others. The research addressed the damages caused by the emission of gases in its various sources. This research work discusses the types of air pollutants and methods of measuring them, as well as the sources and causes of indoor air pollution. The research sheds light on the effects of air pollution on environmental pollution due to the escalation of toxic gases that cause serious diseases to humans and other living organisms. The research deals with ways to reduce air pollution, most notably the search for an alternative source of energy, improving vehicle engines, agriculture and increasing green spaces.
