    This document discusses various types of pollutants and pollution. It classifies pollutants into particulate pollutants like dust, smoke and fumes which can cause respiratory issues. It also discusses oxides of sulphur and nitrogen dioxide from industries and fossil fuels which cause health effects like acid rain, corrosion and cancer. Automobile pollution is discussed along with management measures. Industrial pollution emits harmful by-products into the air, water and land.

     Pollution
     Pollutant
     Classification of Pollutants
     Classification of Pollution
     Auto mobile and Industrial pollution
     Ambient Air Quality Standards
    Hg salt
     1. Particulate Pollutants: Their size ranges from
    100 μm to 0.1 μm and less. Larger particles like
    sand and water droplets quickly settle down in still
    air and smaller particle s like dust remain in air for
    longer time whereas very fine particles like tobacco
    smoke do not settle down at all.
     Particulates are classified as-
    1) Dust: Size 1 to 200 micrometers. These are
    formed by natural disintegration of rock and soil or
    by the mechanical process of grinding and spraying
    2)Smoke: Size 0.001 to 1 micrometer. This can be
    liquid or solid and are form by combustionor
    other chemical process.
    3)Fumes: Size 0.1 to 1 micrometer. There are solid
    particles which are normally released from
    chemical or metallurgical processes in industries.
    4)Mist: Size < 10 micrometer. It is made up of
    liquid droplets. These are formed by
    condensation in the atmospheric or released
    from industrial operations.
    Effects: Respiratory problems- asthma, chronic
    respiratory disease, lung cancer etc.
    1.Oxides of sulphur:
     Sources: Chemical industries, metal smelting, pulp and
    paper mills, oil refineries.
     SO2 is a colorless gas with a characteristic, sharp,
    pungent odor. It is moderately soluble in water forming
    weak acid H2SO3. It is oxidized slowly in clean air to SO3.
     Effects:
    1. SO2 and moisture can accelerate the corrosion of steel,
    copper, zinc and other metals.

    2. Clothes, leather and Paper are discolored by SO2.

    3. 8 – 12 ppm of SO2 - immediate throat infection, 10 ppm


    SO2 – eye irritation, 20 ppm – immediate coughing.
    2. Nitrogen Dioxide: Sources are natural and
    manmade.
     Naturally nitrogen dioxide comes from high energy
    radiation, biological and non-biological activities
    (lightening, radiations, bacterial decomposition etc).
     Man-made nitrogen dioxide comes from burning of
    fossil fuels,process, pesticide industries, automobiles
    etc.
    Effects:
    1.NO2 combine with hydrocarbons to form
    photochemical smog which cause most damage to
    human health.
    2.In lungs NO2 converts to nitrous and nitric acids
    which are highly irritating and cause damage to the
    lung tissues.
    3.It causes acid rain and cancer.
     Automobiles are a necessary evil, while they
    have made living easy and convenient, they
    have also made human life more complicated
    and vulnerable to toxic emissions.
     Sources of Automobile Pollutants:
    i. Hydrocarbons
    ii. Carbon monoxide (CO)
    iii. Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
    iv. Sulfur oxide (SOx)
    i. Prolonged exposure to hydrocarbons
    contributes to asthma, liver disease, and
    cancer, overexposure of carbon monoxide
    poisoning may be fatal.
    ii. NOx is a precursor to smog and acid rain.
    NOx is a mixture of NO and NO2. NO2
    destroys resistance to respiratory
    infection.
    There are a number of types of management
    that can be adopted:
    1. Removing inefficient and grossly polluting
    vehicles.
    2. Adopting measures to manage the use of
    motor vehicles.
    3. Complete electrification of railway lines.
    4. Use of pollution free fuels for vehicles. Ex.
    Alcohol, hydrogen, battery power etc.
    5. Use non lead antiknock agent in gasoline.
     Industrial pollution is generally referred to
    the undesirable outcome when factories (or
    other industrial plants) emits harmful by-
    products and waste into the environment.
     such as emissions to water bodies (water
    pollution), deposition on landfills etc (land
    pollution) or emission of toxic chemicals into
    the atmosphere (air pollution).
