The rapid growth of population and industry, and the increased use of automobiles and airplanes, have made air pollution a serious problem. The air we breath has become so filled with pollutants that it can cause health problems. Polluted air also harms plants, animals, building materials, and fabrics.

Fuel Combustion for heating and cooling homes, office buildings, and factories contributes significantly to air pollution. Electrical power plants that burn coal or oil also release pollutants into the atmosphere. From these sources come nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and particulates, and carbon dioxide.
Industrial processes: produce a wide range of pollutants. Oil refineries discharge ammonia, hydrocarbons, organic acids, and sulfur oxides. Metal smelting plants give off large amounts of sulfur oxides...
