Air Pollution

  When air gets polluted with dust, smoke, motor vehicles, mills and factories etc. is called air pollution. Air is an important element of our environment. No creature can live without air. But air is getting polluted day by day. Air can be polluted in many ways. Smoke is most responsible for air pollution. Smoke is produced when we cook food, burn bricks and refuse. It also produces when we melt pitch for road construction. Besides, buses, trucks and cars use petrol, diesel and oil. When they are burnt, they emit smoke and pollute the air. Mills and factories also cause serious air pollution. Polluted air is very harmful to all beings. It is a dangerous threat to our existence. By inhaling polluted air, we suffer from various kinds of diseases. However, to control air pollution some measures should be taken by us and government. Public awareness should be raised.
