Major Air Pollutants and Their Effects

Air pollution is the introduction of chemical, particulate matter or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is the thin layer of gases that surrounds the earth surfaces. Recently, environmental problems have been local and minor because of the earth's own ability to absorb and purify minor quantities of pollutants. The industrialization, introduction of more number of vehicles, and the explosion of the population, are contributing toward the growing air pollution problem. Knowing of major air pollutants and their effects are very important to global world.
