HOW TO SOLVE AIR POLLUTION??


  • Avoid Second-Hand Smoke– Passive smoke is produced by smokers but can harm non-smokers as well. Try to avoid areas that are filled with smoke and ask smokers to smoke outdoors.
  • Check For Radon – Radon arises naturally from the ground and could cause fatal lung cancer. Purchase a testing kit to find out if the radon level in your home is dangerously high.
  • Don't Smoke – When you smoke, you not only harm yourself but also create problems for other people's health.
  • Don't Use Wood Stoves – Wood stoves emit large amounts of CO indoors. This can build up in your home and create a dangerous health risk.
  • Drive Less – Cars are one of the largest sources of air pollution. You should carpool or take public transportation whenever possible.
  • Have Plants – Plants can absorb some dangerous chemicals that are polluting your air. In doing so, they reduce your risk of getting sick.
  • Look For Asbestos – Many old homes still contain asbestos from when they were built. Asbestos can get into your lungs, stomach, and chest, causing problems that can prove fatal. As a result, you should look around your home for asbestos that is crumbling or loose and remove it.
  • Minimize Air Conditioning – If you can avoid air-conditioning, do so. By keeping windows and shades shut, you may be able to avoid needing air conditioning, which will mean using less energy.
  • Use Efficient Appliances – To cut down on energy usage, buy energy-efficient home appliances. Less energy usage will not only decrease pollution, it will decrease your energy bill too.
  • Watch Out For Formaldehyde – Don't buy products containing formaldehyde because it can enter the air and cause chronic respiratory problems.
  • Avoid Open BurningOpen burning is any set outdoor fire that does not vent to a chimney or stack. Don't ever do open burning because it can release many kinds of toxic fumes. Protect yourself, your neighbors and your wallet by knowing what you can burn and where.

Thanks for the ideas I think they are great.If I smoke I must make sure that it does not pollute the environment.If I use open smoke it causes the same problem and so I have to be careful.
