Earth’s atmosphere:
1) provides essential oxygen
2) provides medium for sound
3) shields solar radiation
4)has been neglected

Earths’ great spheresLithosphere- The lithosphere contains
all of the cold, hard solid land of theplanet's crust (surface), the semi-solidland underneath the crust, and theliquid land near the center of the planet
Hydrosphere- The hydrospherecontains all the solid, liquid, andgaseous water of the plane

AtmosphereIt is a mixture of gases that forms a layer
of about 500 km thick around the earth.

Definitions of air pollution
Air pollution is the introduction ofchemicals, particulate matter, orbiological materials that causeharm or discomfort to humans orother living organisms, or causedamage to the natural environmentor built environment, into theatmosphere.
![Page 13: AIR POLLUTION CONTROL L 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/558425f0d8b42ac0658b47f6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Engineers joint council USA
Air pollution means the presence in theoutdoor atmosphere of one or morecontaminants, such as dust, fumes, gas,mist, odour, smoke or vapour, inquantities, with characteristics, and ofduration such as to be injurious tohuman, plant or animal life, or whichunreasonably interfere with thecomfortable enjoyment of the property

American Medical AssociationAn air pollution is the excessive
concentration of foreign matter in theair which adversely affects the wellbeing of the individuals or causesdamage to property.

Definition based on composition of air
Gas Name Chemical Formula Percent Volume
Nitrogen N2 78.08%
Oxygen O2 20.95%
*Water H2O 0 to 4%
Argon Ar 0.93%
*Carbon Dioxide CO2 0.0360%
Neon Ne 0.0018%
Helium He 0.0005%
*Methane CH4 0.00017%
Hydrogen H2 0.00005%
*Nitrous Oxide N2O 0.00003%
*Ozone and others O3 0.000004%

Another method of defining air pollution isfirst to specify the composition of clean airand then to classify all other materials orincreased amounts of those materials given incomposition of atmospheric air pollutants iftheir presence results in damage to humanbeings, plants and animals or materials.
Thus according to this definition CO,hydrogen, water vapours, ozone in aconcentration greater than 0.04 ppm(0.000004% by volume) would be airpollutants.

IS definition [IS-4167 (1966)] ‘Air pollution is presence in ambient
atmosphere of substances, generallyresulting from the activity of man, insufficient concentration, present for asufficient time and under circumstanceswhich interfere significantly with thecomfort, health or welfare of persons orfull use or enjoyment of property.’

Types of Air Pollution
Personal air exposureIt refers to exposure to dust, fumes
and gases to which an individualexposes himself when he indulgehimself in smoking
![Page 19: AIR POLLUTION CONTROL L 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/558425f0d8b42ac0658b47f6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Occupational air exposureIt represents the type of exposure
of individuals to potentiallyharmful concentration of aerosols,vapors, and gases in their workingenvironment.
![Page 20: AIR POLLUTION CONTROL L 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/558425f0d8b42ac0658b47f6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Community air exposureThis is most serious, complex, consists
of varieties of assortment of pollutionsources, meteorological factors, andwide variety of adverse social,economical, and health effects.

Air pollution problems may occur on three scales:
i. Micro scale
ii. Meso-scale and
iii. Macro scale.
![Page 23: AIR POLLUTION CONTROL L 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052316/558425f0d8b42ac0658b47f6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Micro-scale problems range from those covering less than a centimeter to those the size of a house or slightly larger (few meters to 100s of meter).
Meso-scale air pollution problems are those of a few hectares up to the size of a city or county (local-to-regional ).
Macro-scale problems extend from counties to states, nations, and in the broadest sense, the globe (regional-to-continental scale)
