Air Pollution

What is air pollution? ‘I’ll go out for a breath of fresh air’ is an often-heard phrase. But how many of us realize that this has become irrelevant in today’s world, because the quality of air in our cities is anything but fresh. 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. …

…by thermal power plants, and speeding cars causing dust to rise from the roads. Natural phenomena such as the eruption of a volcano and even someone smoking a cigarette can also cause air pollution. These are some of the things we can do to help prevent air pollution. Every least bit of effort counts. Then maybe, we might be able to save our earth from falling apart. But for now it’s just a ‘maybe’.
