Abstract

Potential Hazards of Air Pollution on Environment, Health and Agriculture

Highlights

  • Air is the inseparable physical part of earth’s atmosphere and so much important to maintain life and ecosystem

  • Environmental pollution is any discharge of material or energy into water, land or air that causes or may cause acute or chronic detriment to the earth’s ecological balance or that lowers the quality of life [4]

  • While humans are the vital part of an ecosystem, the urban ecosystem is hostilely affected by several air pollutants like- particulate matter (PM) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) [6,7]

Summary

Introduction

Air is the inseparable physical part of earth’s atmosphere and so much important to maintain life and ecosystem. Unlike other planets in the solar system life is impossible mainly due to air composition and temperature. Increase or decrease of earth’s temperature is natural process but, human emissions of various gases play a significant role [3]. Environmental pollution is any discharge of material or energy into water, land or air that causes or may cause acute (shortterm) or chronic (long-term) detriment to the earth’s ecological balance or that lowers the quality of life [4]. Long term or stable state of modified air composition causes air pollution, which contributes to global warming. The organization of earth’s atmosphere altered remarkedly over time by human activities [5].
