Air pollution is caused by both natural occurrences and human activities. Natural causes include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, and pollen dispersal. Major human sources are emissions from industries and manufacturing, burning of fossil fuels such as by vehicles, and usage of household and farming chemicals. When these pollutants are introduced into the atmosphere, they can cause damage, disease, or death to humans, animals and plants. Some health effects of air pollution include skin irritation. Videos on the topic provide information on simple steps individuals can take to reduce pollution and save the earth.

Global Warming.

3. What is Air Pollution?
Air pollution is the introduction
ofharmful materials into
the Earth's atmosphere, causing
damage, disease or death to humans,
animals,vegetationorthe natural or b
uilt environment.
The ‘things’ that cause pollution are
called pollutants.

4. Causes of Air Pollution
Air pollution can result from both
human and natural actions.
Natural events that pollute the air
include forest fires, volcanic
eruptions, wind erosion, pollen
dispersal, evaporation of organic
compounds and natural radioactivity.
Pollution from natural occurrences
are not very often.

6. Man-made air pollution:
Human activities that result in air pollution include:
1. Emissions from industries and manufacturing
activities.
2. Burning of Fossil Fuels
3. Usage of Household and Farming Chemicals

7. Emissions from industries and manufacturing
activities
The Industry sector produces the goods
and raw materials we use every day. The
greenhouse gases emitted during
industrial production are split into two
categories:
1. direct emissions that are produced at
the facility.
2. indirect emissions that occur off site,
but are associated with the facility's
use of energy.

8. 2. Burning Fossil Fuels
Cars and heavy duty trucks, trains,
shipping vessels and airplanes all burn
lots of fossil fuels to work.
 This is a major cause of pollution,
and one that is very difficult to
manage. This is because humans rely
heavily on vehicles and engines for
transporting people, good and
services.

9. 3. Household and Farming Chemicals
Crop dusting, fumigating homes,
household cleaning products or painting
supplies, over the counter insect/pest
killers, fertilizer dust emit harmful
chemicals into the air and cause
pollution.
In many case, when we use these
chemicals at home or offices with no or
little ventilation, we may fall ill if we
breathe them.
