Air pollution

Air pollution is a common term describing the extent at which physical, biological, and chemical substances may contaminate natural air condition. Introduction of particulates with the potential of causing harm is one of the simplest ways of describing air pollution. The processes leading to contamination of clean air mainly consist of natural and human activities. Nonetheless, the presence of harmful chemical substances categorically described as pollutants always present unhealthier conditions capable of triggering diseases to human life. It is because of this demanding concern that the topic of air pollution must addressed  based on the cause and effect perspective.  The cause and effect study of air pollution is best achieved through analyzing the indoors and outdoors pollution sources while focusing on the enormousness of how the effects alters natural conditions.

Artificially, a number of human activities are responsible for air pollution. One of the most common sources pertaining to this is combustion of fossil fuels. As substances such as coal and petroleum products burns, treacherous gases are released into the atmosphere. In particular, these gaseous compounds amount to enormous destruction such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides with carcinogenic effects. Equally, agricultural activities such as application of insecticides, pesticides, and herbicides to firm crops are among the serous causative agents of pollution (Wang, Lawrence K, Hung and Pereira 238). Industrial operations qualify as human sources of pollution based on degree and composition of effluents that depletes high quality atmospheric air. A substantial amount of pollution is also caused by mining operation whereby in this case dusts and minerals suspend in the atmosphere.

Naturally, pollution amounts from uncontrollable activities such as biological processes. Natural catastrophes leading to air pollution are often unpredictable and unquantifiable from catastrophic events like volcanic eruptions that produces gases and immeasurable quantity of smoke. Similarly, the same occurs from natural anthropogenic anaerobic respiration that sources greenhouse gases namely ammonia and carbon monoxide. Conversely, .............
