AIR
  1. problems
    1. The main air pollutants are classified as:
      1. primary
        1. Are those that remain in the atmosphere as they were emitted by the source. For purposes of assessing air quality are considered: sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons and particulates.
        2. Side
          1. They are those who have been subject to chemical changes, or they are the product of the reaction of two or more primary pollutants in the atmosphere. These include photochemical oxidants and some short-lived radicals such as ozone.
      2. pollution
        1. Air pollution is one of the most important environmental problems, and is the result of human activities. The causes of this pollution are diverse, but the highest incidence is caused by industrial, commercial, domestic and agricultural activities.
        2. main pollutants
          1. The main causes of air pollution are related to the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas). The combustion of these materials occurs in the process or in the operation of the industrial and road transport, mainly. Within the industrial sector should distinguish between plants (eg cement or steel) and electricity production plants (which produce half of the electricity consumed in our country).
            1. deduction
              1. transport is the major cause of air pollution compared to the industry, whether manufacturing or power generation. Within the private car transport is the main culprit for the poor state of air quality. This means that car use causes far the major problem we are dealing with.
          2. possible solutions
            1. using biodegradable or toxic material; through recycling, using waste to generate new products and substituting the consumption of products that generate pollution during their manufacture and use of more environmentally friendly products.
              1. The State must worry about the problem of pollution, giving strict laws controlling compliance and punishing offenders.
                1. Citizens must become more aware of the problem, demand respect for the environment and not contribute to its deterioration.
                  1. Planting trees and assist in the maintenance of green areas, not burn leaves or garbage, etc.
                    1. Replace traditional light bulbs with low power consumption.
                      1. Avoid buying packaged products. If is reduced by 10% personal garbage can save 540 kilos of carbon dioxide año.Comprar fresh food. Producing frozen food consumes 10 times more energy.
                        1. Use the car less. Walking, cycling, car sharing and using public transport. Reduce use of own vehicle
                          1. try not to smoke so much as this is bad for the air and for your very health.
