How are industries the main factor for air pollution?

थोडक्यात उत्तर

उत्तर

Industries contribute to air pollution in significant ways:

  1. Emissions of Harmful Gases: When fossil fuels are burned, industries generate a variety of hazardous gases, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO2), and sulphur dioxide (SO2). Acid rain and respiratory issues may result from these gases.
  2. Particulate Matter Release: Industrial processes emit particulate matter, including dust, ash, and metallic particles. These particles can penetrate deep into the lungs and are linked to health issues such as asthma, lung cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
  3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Industries involved in painting, printing, and some chemical manufacturing release VOCs into the air. VOCs contribute to ground-level ozone and smog formation, posing risks to human health and the environment.
