Environmental Pollution is “The contamination of the physical and biological components of the atmospheric system to such an extent that normal environmental processes are adversely affected”.
Types of Environmental Pollution
There are three major types of environmental pollution:
Air Pollution Water Pollution Soil Pollution (Contamination)
![Page 4: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
AIR POLLUTION• Air pollution is a release into the
atmosphere of any substances, ex. chemicals or airborne particles, which are harmful both to the human and animal health as well as the health of the wider environment.
![Page 5: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Natural Causes Forest Fires Volcanic Eruptions Vegetation Decay Processes In Soil.
Anthropogenic (Human-made) Causes Burning of Fossil Fuels (Oil, Gas & Coal)
![Page 6: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
FUNDAMENTAL CAUSES OF AIR POLLUTION
Industrialization
Industrialization set in motion the widespread use of fossil fuels which are now the main drivers of pollution.
Population Growth
It causes the demand for food and other goods to go up, which is met by expanded production and use of natural resources. This then leads to higher levels of atmospheric pollution.
Globalization
Globalization has in a way become a facilitator of air pollution. Big industry takes advantage of negligent environmental controls in developing nations and moves its manufacturing facilities to such “pollution havens” from where air pollution travels around the world without any obstacles.
![Page 7: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Combustion Engine Exhaust
The exhaust from vehicles contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide. This type of air pollution creates smog.
Petroleum Refineries
Petroleum refineries release hydrocarbons and various particulates that pollute the air.
Chemicals
Pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers and herbicides all cause air pollution.
![Page 8: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Radioactive FalloutRadioactive fallout from the nuclear power plants also causes air pollution.
Indoor Air Pollution
This happens when there is not enough ventilation to disburse the toxic fumes produced in homes. Sources of indoor air pollution include Biological contaminants like mold, tobacco smoke, Household products and pesticides.
![Page 9: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AIR POLLUTANTS Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
The main sectors producing sulfur dioxide are: Power Generation and Refineries Manufacturing industry Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
The main sectors producing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are:
Road Transport Deforestation & Fires Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Major sources of CO2 are Fossil Fuels Burning and Deforestation.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)Chlorofluorocarbons are greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
![Page 10: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Carbon Monoxide (CO) The top sectors producing carbon monoxide are:
Biofuel Combustion Agriculture Waste Burning Ammonia (NH3) Agriculture, specifically livestock
farming & animals waste, is the main source of ammonia emissions.
![Page 11: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
LEGAL REGULATIONS In general, there are two types of air
quality standards. 1. The first class of standards (such
as the National Ambient Air Quality Standards) set maximum atmospheric concentrations for specific pollutants.
2. The second class (such as the Air Quality Index) take the form of a scale with various thresholds, which is used to communicate to the public the relative risk of outdoor activity.
![Page 12: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AIR QUALITY INDEX (AQI)
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a number used by government agencies to characterize the quality of the air at a given location. As the AQI increases, an increasingly large percentage of the population is likely to experience severe adverse health effects.
To compute the AQI requires an air pollutant concentration from a monitor or model.
Air quality index values are divided into ranges, and each range is assigned a descriptor and a color code.
![Page 13: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION
![Page 15: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Each air pollutant exerts their own specific adverse impacts, ranging from mild to really damaging.
We can distinguish between short-term acute effects and long-term chronic effects of air pollution.
Air pollutants enter the body primarily through the respiratory system which thus becomes their main victim.
![Page 16: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Effects on Animals
• Acid rain contains much higher than normal amount of sulphuric and nitric acid i-e actually toxic to aquatic life in lakes and streams.
• This poses threat to aquatic life as well as the food chain in general. It is also harmful to plants and degrades buildings and monuments.
![Page 26: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
•Pollution may affect animals through plants on which they feed. •For example, if a certain plant is negatively affected by air pollutants, this will also affect the animals that depend on this particular plant for food. •Tropospheric ozone may damage animal lung tissue.
Effects on Animals

Effects on Trees and Plants
Here is how sulphur dioxide may affect trees & plants :
– Cell metabolism disruption (membrane damage, respiration and photosynthetic effects)
– Leaf injury and loss – Reduced growth and reproduction – Increase in susceptibility of plants to attacks by
insect herbivores
• Particulate air pollution effects on plants & trees may include :
– Blocked stomata – Increased leaf temperature – Reduced photosynthesis – Reduced fruit set, leaf growth, pollen growth – Reduced tree growth
![Page 28: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Effects on Trees and Plants
• Acid rain (as a product of sulphur and nitrogen pollution) can kill trees, destroy the leaves of plants, can infiltrate soil by making it unsuitable for purposes of nutrition and habitation.
• It is also associated with the reduction in forest and agricultural yields.
![Page 29: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Air Pollution Effects – Economic Losses
Some of these economic effects are : • Direct medical losses • Lost income from being absent from work • Decreased productivity • Travel time losses due to reduced
visibility • Losses from repair of damage to buildings • Increased costs of cleaning • Losses due to damage to crops & plants
Some of these economic effects are : • Direct medical losses • Lost income from being absent from work • Decreased productivity • Travel time losses due to reduced
visibility • Losses from repair of damage to buildings • Increased costs of cleaning • Losses due to damage to crops & plants
![Page 30: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Effect Of Smog
• Though "smog" is sometimes described as a combination of smoke and fog, it is actually a mixture of pollutants and ground-level ozone.
• The pollutants that help make smog come mostly from vehicle emissions, factories, power plants and consumer products like paint and solvents.
• Smog can cause problems such as respiratory ailments, reduced visibility, damage to vegetation, colds, and eye irritation.
![Page 31: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Depletion of Ozone Layer• Over the years, the
constant use of industrial and domestic chemical, mostly CFC's used in refrigerators and other solvents have depleted an area of this layer.
• This area is found over an ice shelf in Antarctica and the ice caps are melting with the result of a rise in sea level. This depletion is causing global warming or the greenhouse effect.
![Page 32: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Global Warming and Air Pollution
Effects of global warming :
- Sea temperatures would increase, the water would enlarge and the sea levels rise. - Low-lying areas would be flooded. Some islands would disappear altogether. - Hot regions could become hotter and deserts would extend. - Some plants and animals would become extinct
![Page 33: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Global Warming and Air Pollution
Is Climate Change Making Us Sick?
More floods, heat waves, insect-borne disease... Global warming affecting our health badly.
Every one degree rise means 75 deaths
Deaths can be caused by the body’s inability to adapt and cool itself sufficiently. However, the main causes of death and illness are cardiovascular and respiratory disease.
![Page 34: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Air Pollution; Prevention & Control
![Page 35: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Air Pollution; Prevention Awareness
In many countries in the world, steps are being taken to stop the damage to our environment from air pollution.
Scientific groups study the damaging effects on plant, animal and human life.
Legislative bodies write laws to control emissions. Educators in schools and universities teach students, beginning at very young ages, about the effects of air pollution.
![Page 36: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Solution to Air Pollution Problem..
The first step to solving air pollution is assessment . Researchers have investigated outdoor air pollution and have developed standards for measuring the type and amount of some serious air pollutants.
Scientists must then determine how much exposure to pollutants is harmful.
Once exposure levels have been set, steps can be undertaken to reduce exposure to air pollution. These can be accomplished by regulation of man-made pollution through legislation.
![Page 37: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Control through Legislation
Many countries have set controls on pollution emissions for transportation vehicles and industry.
This is usually done to through a variety of coordinating agencies which monitor the air and the environment.
![Page 38: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PEPAPakistan Environmental Protection Agency
is an attached department of the Ministry of Environment and responsible to implement the Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 in the country.
An Act to provide for the protection, conservation, rehabilitation and improvement of environment, for the prevention and control of pollution, and promotion of sustainable development.
It has set the NEQS; to monitor and control Environment Pollution levels.
![Page 39: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Reduction in Air PollutionReductions in air pollution can be achieved by
a variety of methods including pollution prevention, control technologies, and control measures.
A control strategy may include a combination of different voluntary measures or mandatory controls, and may focus on one or several pollutants or sources of air pollution.
![Page 40: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Control of EmissionsAir pollution control technologies have
achieved stunning results in reducing emissions from the manufacturing and mobile source sectors by as much as 90 to 99 percent.
Mercury and Other Toxic Air Pollutants OzoneParticle Pollution
![Page 41: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Mercury and Other Toxic Air Pollutants
Control of mercury emissions is based upon reduction of the emissions and pollutant releases into the atmosphere by the industries that use mercury within their processes, emit mercury or dispose of products containing mercury, such as thermometers.
Emission standards for hazardous
air pollutants have been established
for industries emitting toxic air
emissions.
![Page 42: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Mercury and Other Toxic Air Pollutants
Strategies for controlling mercury and other toxic air pollutants include; Product Substitution, Process Modification, Work-Practice Standards, Materials Separation; Coal Cleaning (relevant to mercury control); Flue Gas Treatment Technologies; and alternative
strategies.
Significant sources of toxic air pollution are motor vehicles, so programs to reduce emissions from cars, trucks and buses also decrease concentrations of toxic air pollutants. These programs include; Reformulated gasoline, National low emission vehicle (NLEV) program, Gasoline sulfur control requirements.
![Page 43: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Ozone Depletion Control; NOx & VOCs
Ozone control strategies generally target nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Control strategies may comprise a set of regulations that specify emission limits and control equipment like;
Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT),
Best Available Control Technology (BACT),
Lowest Achievable Emission Rates (LAER).
![Page 44: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Particle Pollution Particle pollution, or particulate matter (PM) pollution
control strategies reduce primary PM emitted directly by a source, or PM precursor emissions (NOx, SOx, VOC, and ammonia) that react in the atmosphere to form fine PM.
![Page 45: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
PM Contd Control strategies could include a set of regulations that
specifies emission limits.
PM control equipment or programs may address specific industrial processes, that burns diesel fuel, and sources
such as dust from agricultural
activities.
![Page 46: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Effective Air Pollution Control Methods
Activated Carbon.
Bio filters; Clearing the Air.
Catalytic Oxidizers; Driving Towards Cleaner Emissions.
Acid Gas Control - SO2 ; Use of Wet or Dry Scrubbers.
![Page 47: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Activated Carbon
It is a popular air pollution control method. One of the most common forms of carbon treatment in air pollution control is carbon adsorption.
This method sees the use of dry chemical scrubbing media such as carbon filters for the adsorption of fumes from the air.
![Page 48: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Bio filters; Clearing the Air
Bio Filtration is a method of pollution control in which process pollutants are biologically degraded using micro-organisms. The most common application of bio filters is the micro biotic oxidation of contaminants in the air.
![Page 49: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Catalytic Oxidizers; Driving Towards Cleaner Emissions.
Catalytic Oxidizers are placed in the exhaust system of cars to reduce emissions from the exhaust pipe.
The ideal byproducts of a car’s engine are carbon dioxide, some water and nitrogen. However in reality engines continue to release unburned hydrocarbons which
damage the environment.
![Page 50: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
A BIG Problem!!!Gas Flares: (or flare stacks) burning off
unwanted substances and releasing them into the environment.
Examples of gas flare usage include chemical plants, landfills and oil rigs. Their most common purpose is to protect against unplanned over-pressuring of the plant equipment.
![Page 51: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Acid Gas Control - SO2 ; Use of Wet or Dry Scrubbers.
Several systems for dry scrubbing are available, including Spray Dryer Absorbers (SPAs) and Dry Sorbent Injectors (DSIs). SPAs remove the presence of acid gases from the environment through absorption in the dryer.
DSIs are mainly used in medical waste applications. The ability of DSIs to reduce air pollution is limited in the less advanced systems.
Dry scrubbers are ideal for air pollution reduction applications in which the lowest level of water involvement is vital.
![Page 52: In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081508/56813494550346895d9b8282/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Geo Sequestration
In a typical geo sequestration process, carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured at an industrial facility, compressed and transported by pipeline to a suitable storage location. There, it is injected into a deep geological formation beneath the Earth’s surface.
CO2 is the biggest contributor to the greenhouse gas effect because it traps heat from the Sun in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to climate change; Global Warming. Other gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), etc also add to the problem.
