Document Summary

Suggest methods to control air pollution by separating the pollutants. Separation of pollutants: this can be done by the following steps: (i) Trees should be grown in all available places. This purifies the air for man and animal to breath. Certain plants ( phaseolus vulgaris, celeus bulmeri) can fix carbon monoxide, and some plants (pinus junipreus) can metabolise nitrogen oxides. Planting of such species should be encouraged to depollute the air. (ii) good quality fuel (low sulphur or sulphur free and lead free fuel) should be used in motor vehicles. The exhaust gases from motor vehicles may be cleaned by using atalyst. These steps can reduces so2 pollution. (iii) the use of tall chimneys in factories can reduce, pollution of air ground level. (iv) Industrial smoke should be filtered before releasing it into the air to remove particulate matter. (v)
