Ways of Control And Minimize Atmospheric Pollution

When industries and settlements are being established in an area, developers of that area should be aware of their locations. Settlements should be far away from industrial areas to avoid harsh living conditions.

Refuse should be disposed of properly instead of burning them and releasing harmful gases and chemical compounds into the atmosphere. People need to be educated on these matters.

Communities need to have cleanup exercises to clear choked gutters and filthy areas on a regular basis. This keeps the area clean as well as reduces the chances of causing air pollution.

Several types of trees planted in large numbers help control air pollution in heavy polluted areas. Trees like Ficus and Coleus have the ability to fix and remove smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) present in the air. Pinus and ribe trees have the ability to metabolize nitrogen oxides and other pollutants. Mining areas should therefore be rich in trees.
