How to Reduce the Effects of Air Pollution

There are a number of ways to reduce the effects of air pollution. These include:

*Reducing the emission of sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxides from cars, either by fitting a catalytic converter to the car to reduce the volume of sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide emitted, or by reducting the number of cars in use (ie: by encouraging people to walk or take public transport).

*Reducing the amount of sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide released from factories, by treating the fuels before burning them or by reducing the number of fossil fuel-burning power stations in operation (ie: by encouraging the usage of renewable energy sources as opposed to non-renewable fossil fuel plants).

*Add scrubbers to domestic and industrial chimneys to neutralise acids formed.
