AIR POLLUTION AND OXIDES OF NITROGEN AND SULFUR

POLLUTANTS IN THE ASPECT

• Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
• Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)

HOW DID THEY GET IN THE AIR?

• N2O outside=over-heated car engines
• SO2 outside=burning fossil fuels
• SO2 inside=burning with coal or petrol
• (United Nations. World Health Organization)

AGENCIES THAT MONITOR AIR QUAILTY

• EPA (Environmental Protection Agency US)
• EEA (European Environmental Agency)
• WHO (World Health Organization)
• PCD (Pollution Control Department Thailand)

MEASURING THESE POLLUTANTS

• ppm (Parts Per Million)
• ppb (Parts Per Billion)
• Biological Nitrogen Removal plants (BNR)
• (Chandran Kartik)

AFFECTED HUMAN POPULATION

• Asthma-diagnosed people
• People with respiratory issues
• Especially children and elderly
• ("Health")

IMPACTS> HUMANS

• Asthma
• Respiratory issues
• ("Health")

IMPACTS> ENVIRONMENT

• Greenhouse gases
• Smog
• Acid rain

COUNTERACTION

• Organization responsible for that area will:
• Monitor pollution regularly
• Develop appropriate strategy for situation
• Pass enforcement to citizens by law
