Air Pollution Control Measures
To control air pollution, we adopt some preventive measures, such as are
Avoid using Automobiles
- Usage of public transport should increase instead of public vehicles for the commute. It will also help in pollution control.
- Using bicycles for the shorter route, instead of using bikes and other automobiles.
- Automobiles can be replaced by electric vehicles.
Energy Conservation
- A huge amount of fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. So on an individual level start saving electricity.
- Switch to clean power sources i.e., solar, and wind power to generate electricity.
- The use of CFLs also helps to prevent air pollution.
Air Pollution
Air pollution reflects the bad quality of the air. The pollution of polluted particles in the air is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI). Any chemical, biological or physical change that contaminates the air leads to air pollution. Healthy air has an optimum concentration of atmospheric gases if that increase or decreases that leads to air pollution which indirectly causes global warming.
