Air; sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide,ozone,smog and PAN,MTBE and CFcs

  Air pollution 

 1. Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂)

Properties and Sources:

• Sulphur dioxide is a drab fuel with a pungent odor.
• It is comprised of burning fossil fuels (coal and oil) and the smelting of mineral ores (aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, and iron) that include sulfur.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Causes respiratory problems and irritation of the eyes.
• Contributes to acid rain, which harms ecosystems, damages homes, and contaminates water resources.

 2. Nitrogen Oxides (NOₓ)

Properties and Sources:

• Nitrogen oxides are a set of gases inclusive of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and nitric oxide (NO).
• Produced from vehicle emissions, energy flora, and commercial sports.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Can cause breathing problems and exacerbate situations like allergies.
• Contributes to the formation of floor-level ozone and smog.
• Plays a role in acid rain formation.

 3. Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Properties and Sources:

• A colorless, odorless, and tasteless fuel.
• Produced by means of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, stoves, and gas heaters.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Interferes with the blood's ability to hold oxygen, inflicting harmful consequences on cardiovascular and frightened structures.
• High tiers of exposure may be fatal.

 4. Ozone (O₃)

Properties and Sources:

• A noticeably reactive gas composed of three oxygen atoms.
•  Found in layers of the atmosphere: the stratosphere (beneficial) and the troposphere (harmful).
• Formed via chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides and risky natural compounds (VOCs) within the presence of sunlight.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Causes respiratory troubles, reduces lung feature, and aggravates asthma.
• Damages crops, trees, and different plant life.

5. Smog

Types and Sources:

• Smog is a mixture of air pollutants, which includes ground-stage ozone, particulate matter, and different gases.
• Photochemical smog is formed by using the reaction of sunlight with pollutants like NOₓ and VOCs.
• Industrial smog, or sulfurous smog, consequences from burning fossil fuels containing sulfur.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Causes breathing troubles, eye inflammation, and reduced visibility.
• Can result in serious fitness situations like coronary heart disease and lung cancer.

6. Peroxyacetyl Nitrate (PAN)

Properties and Sources:

• PAN is part of photochemical smog.
•  Formed through the response of VOCs and nitrogen oxides in the presence of daylight.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Causes eye infection and respiration troubles.
• Damages vegetation and decreases agricultural productiveness.

7. Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE)

Properties and Sources:

• MTBE is a chemical compound used as a gas additive to increase octane and reduce engine knocking.
• Released into the environment through gasoline spills and leaks from storage tanks.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Contaminates groundwater and drinking water.
• Exposure can purpose headaches, nausea, dizziness, and infection of the respiratory device.

 8. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Properties and Sources:

• CFCs are artificial compounds used in air con, refrigeration, and as propellants in aerosol sprays.
• Released into the environment through leaks and fallacious disposal of system.

Health and Environmental Impacts:

• Contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer inside the stratosphere.
• Increased UV radiation attaining the Earth can result in skin cancer, cataracts, and immune system damage.
