ways to overcome air pollution

We have the effects of air pollution and so on. Know here we will talk about way to overcome air pollution. Everyone can play a part to reduce air pollution. There are many ways to overcome the air pollution such as reduce vehicle emissions, reduce industrial emissions, reduce emissions from power stations, use renewable energy, and reduce the use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs). (http://library.thinkquest.org/C0111401/dealing_air_pollution.htm).

First way to overcome air pollution is reduce vehicle emissions. This can be done by installing catalytic converters in every car so that the amount of toxic gases released is reduced. A more effective way is to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. For example, in Manila, the government has introduced regulations such that on different days, only cars with certain number plates can be driven. Another way is to encourage the public to take public transport. We can choose to take public transport to reduce air pollution. (http://library.thinkquest.org/C0111401/dealing_air_pollution.htm).

The second way is more to industrial and the governments responsible. They must reduce industrial emission to overcome air pollution. Industries can reduce the amount of air pollutants they release by installing scrubbers, which are capable of removing up to 90 % of sulphur dioxide from waste gases. (http://library.thinkquest.org/C0111401/dealing_air_pollution.htm).

Other than that, we also need to reduce emissions from power stations. This method concerns us, consumers of electricity, greatly. If electricity is used, less fossil fuels have to be burnt, and less air pollution would be emitted. We can do our part to reduce air pollution by conserving electricity at home, at school and at work. (http://library.thinkquest.org/C0111401/dealing_air_pollution.htm).

We also can use the renewable energy to overcome the air pollution in our country or world. Renewable energy such as wind and hydroelectric, does not pollute, unlike traditional sources of energy that depends on the combustion of fossil fuels.

Last but not list to overcome air pollution is by reducing the use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFCs). The effects of ozone depletion are disastrous. Chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs is the gas that is responsible for ozone depletion. By reducing the emission of CFCs, we can significantly slow down the rate of ozone depletion. Use 'green' products which utilizes ozone-friendly in places of CFCs. (http://library.thinkquest.org/C0111401/dealing_air_pollution.htm). Beside that, we can place the CFCs to Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) to overcome the air pollution.
