Pollution is the process of making the air

Pollution is the process of making the air or the formation there of physical agents, chemical substances or organisms that adversely affect the environment of life or damage to material values.

The main sources of air pollution are the industries, agriculture and traffic, as well as energy generation. The weather plays an important role in the formation of air pollution. Air pollutants can be transported by wind, causing a pollution to spread widely. Rain can remove pollutants from air, causing soil and water pollution. Sunlight can aid the convertion of air pollutants to different substances.

AIR POLLUTION CAN BE DIVIDED IN CATEGORIES ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE IT IS DERIVED FROM: - BIOLOGICAL AIR POLLUTION, SUCH AS POLLENS, SMALL INSECTS AND MICRORGANISMS (BACTERIA, FUNGI, YEASTS AND ALGAE) - PHYSICAL AIR POLLUTION, SUCH AS SOUND, SMELL, THERMAL POLLUTION AND RADIOACTIVE RADIATION - CHEMICAL AIR POLLUTION, SUCH AS OZONE, AEROSOLS AND AMMONIA

Air pollution undergoes a number of processes: • - Emission (contaminants are released into the air)

- Transport (contaminants are transported to different locations through air)

Exchange (compounds react with other compounds in air) Distribution (contaminants are distributed in air) Deposition (contaminants are deposited in a certain area, on the soil or on objects)

Air pollution consists of gases or particles. These have a distinct chemical or physical structure, or a distinct effect on human health. The main air contaminants are: Sulphur dioxide (SO 2); Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Ammonia (NH 3); VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds); Methane (CH 4); Carbon monoxide (CO); Dust particles; Ozone (O 3); Radioactive radiation.

Air pollution has a great influence on the lives and health. Therefore, we must protect our environment for us and future generations.
