Air pollution defines the presence of harmful substances in the air that we breathe. These pollutants can have negative impacts on human health, as well as the environment and climate. In this blog, we will discuss the methods to control and reduce air pollution.Most Effective Method to Control Air PollutionThe are various steps that we can adopt to control air pollution: - The forest cover should be protected by restricting deforestation and adopting afforestation programs. Best way to control of air pollution is trees. There is a 33 percent of the land area remains under forest cover. It will help in controlling air pollution and also help in maintaining the ecological balance. - Need to a 'green belt' around every township and village. Similarly, industrial areas should be surrounded by green belts. - The main source of air pollution is automobiles. Therefore, their engines are redesigned so that their emissions cause minimum pollution. There are some steps have been taken, and some technology has also been developed, but it is still preliminary. - In developing countries, the traditional use of fuelwood need to control - In industries, arrangements for pollution control need to develop. Only after the full arrangement of effluent treatment is made is permission for production should be given. - Minimize activities that cause pollution, like transportation and energy production. - Modification of process and equipment - Use of appropriate material - Using low sulphur coal in industries - We can remove sulphur from coal. It can be done by washing or with the help of bacteria. - Vehicular pollution can be checked by regular tune-up of engines;(A) Replacement of more polluting old vehicles(B) Installation of catalytic converters(C) Engine modification to have fuel efficient (lean)
