Air pollution is a serious problem in our society these days. We come across it indoors, when people have been smoking, and outdoors, where motor vehicle exhaust pollutes the air. For years scientists have been warning us that polluted air is a hazard to our health. It seems these warning are not being taken acutely enough. The truth is that air pollution is growing worse, especially in compactly populated societies. We must for that reason take instantaneous action to progress the quality of air we breathe.

The moment you step out of the house and are on the road you can actually see the air getting polluted; a cloud of smoke from the exhaust of a bus, car, or a motor vehicle; smoke billowing from a factory chimney, flyash produced by thermal power plants, and speeding cars causing dust to rise from the roads. Natural occurrences such as the eruption of a volcano and even someone smoking a cigarette can also cause air pollution.

Pollution is the infection of the earth's atmospher

e with materials that obstruct with human health, the feature of life, or the natural performance of ecosystems (living organisms and their physical environments). Although some environmental pollution is a consequence of natural causes like volcanic eruptions, most is caused by human actions.

The task of cleaning up air pollution, though difficult, is not believed to be impossible. The shift to less polluting forms of power generation, such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal, tidal and other forms of renewable energy in place of fossil fuel can be used for controlling pollution.

Pollution is altering the earth's environment so that it lets in more dangerous radiation from the sun. At the same time, our contaminated atmosphere is becoming a better insulator, averting heat from evading back into space and leading to an increase in universal average temperatures. Scientists anticipate that the temperature raise, referred to as global warming, will change world food supply, modify sea altitude, make weather more extreme, and increase the spread of tropical viruses.

Switch off the lights and fans each time you leave a room. During the day, use only the required number of lights. At home, during hot summer months when you tend to use an air conditioner or a cooler or a heater on very cold winter days, learn to share the room with your brother or sister when you are studying, watching the television, etc.
