Pollution
The burning of petrol and diesel in running vehicles emits carbon monoxide,
sulphur dioxide and unburnt hydrocarbon particles. These pollutants are released
in the air breathe. They are very harmful for our health.
The burning of various fuels in factories and power plants emit carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide and other poisonous gases that are left off in the atmosphere. Yet
without burning fuel, the production of goods in industries is not possible. So the
growth of industrial production is at the cost of polluting air.
Various chemical industries such as those manufacturing acids, plastics, dyes and
paint, paper, pesticides, petrochemical emit hazardous fumes and gases such as
sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and fluorocarbons.
Industrial dust also causes air pollution. Dust coming out from the cement kilns,
lime kilns, stone crushing and asbestos factories are the main causes of breathing
problems and lung diseases in our country.
