Contributes to global warming
Acid rain has many ecological effects; aquatic environment, forests, soil and public health
Air pollutoon damages natural resources and leads to ecosystem degradation and poor air quality
How to minimise: promoting environmental education, using air pollution monitoring systems, implementing energy efficiency programmes, introducing vehicle emission standards, extending environmentally-friendly meas of transport
Expanding public transport facilities, regular check-ups for cars should be obligatory.
Using more efficient engines and modern exhaust-filtering devices.
Developing tree planting programmes
Understanding the concept of reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Assessment of pollutant levels
Air monitoring
Carbon emissions Carbon footprint Contamination Ozone depletion Greenhouse gas Particulate Pollutant Smog BioHazard: a risk to human health and the environment Conservation: the protection of natural resources Green energy: Environmentally-friendly source kf energy Deforestation
