Tropospheric pollution is caused by gaseous air pollutants as well as particulate polutants. Among the gaseous air pollutants, oxides of sulphur (SO_(x)) oxides of nitrogen (NO_(x)) and carbon monoxide play an important role towards pollution. Formation of acid rain and photochemical smog. green house effect and global warming all are the result of various chemical and photochemical reactions taking place in the environment. Various particulates including viable and non-viable are also responsible for causing serious air pollution. The aromatic compounds present as pariculates are

Quicklime and slaked lime are the cheapest and the most widely used bases for neutralising unwanted acids. Lime is used to neutralise acidic soils. A important application of quicklime is in air pollution control for the removal of SO_(2) in electric power plants. Slaked lime is used in the manufacture of other alkalis and bleaching powder, in sugar refining, in tanning hides and in water softening The drying agent which absorbs CO_(2) and reacts violently with water is

Nitric oxide (NO) is the nucleus of photochemical smog. 2NO(g) + O_(2) ("air") rarr 2NO_(2) (g) NO_(2)(g) overset("Sunlight")(rarr) NO(g) + [O] [O] + O_(2) (g) rarr O_(3)(g) Both NO_(2) and O_(3) are strong oxidising agents and react with unburnt hydrocarbons in the polluted air to produce formaldehyde, acrolein and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). These products are harmful to the plant and animal life. Catalytic converters are now installed in the automobiles to reduce the photochemical smog. Photochemical smog can also be supressed by certain compounds, which act as free radical trap. Photochemical transformation of the automobile exhaust emission in UV wavelength of sunlight results into

Use of more fuels in our daily life causes air pollution and it is harmful to human being and the other life on earth. Suggest some remedies to avoid this.
