With increase in industrialization and immense emission from vehicles due to huge transportation and much more, India is facing serious problems due to rising air pollution. Among all the pollutants released, SOx is one of the dangerous ingredients of polluted air. Apart from various health problems such as heart failure and breathing difficulties, Sox causes environmental hazards such as damage and destruction of water courses, vegetation, construction material and deterioration in soil quality. AQI is an indicator of air quality which depicts how polluted the breathing air is and forecasts how polluted it is to become. AQI helps government agencies to take preventive measures and steps to control the pollution level. Artificial neural network (ANN) is a computational model based on the structure and functions of the biological neuron and can be used for prediction after proper training is given to the network

I. Introduction
India is a developing country and with this era of industrialization most cities are suffering from serious air quality problems.[14] Along with industrialization, rapid growth in population is also a major cause for increasing air pollution[15]Air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone (O3), heavy metals, and respirable particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), differ in their chemical composition, reaction properties,
DeekshithKumar Thadishetti Professor mankerian LS 690 July 31 2015 Climate change is one of the global issue that requires multiperspective approach. One of the key cause of climate change is air pollution. Air pollution occurs as a result of release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. There are two key sources of air pollution that should be targeted if the air pollution is to be reduced. The first source is the industrial stationay sources, which include electric power facilities.

Every year, Southern Californians guzzle gallons of fossil fuel. As a result, air pollution is still extremely high. With such little education about the issue, people are unaware about how many pollutants they are emitting. However, Southern California and its population could do much better in against taking action air pollution, and strengthen their current activities. Everyone can make a difference in this issue.
Unfortunately, China is foreshadowing to the rest of the world what the reality could be in years to come if no actions are initiated. Although China is the main concern, the air pollution throughout the world is also detrimental as “98% of cities in low- and middle-income countries with more than 100,000 inhabitants do not meet WHO air quality guidelines. However, in high-income countries, that percentage decreases to 56%” (“Air pollution,” 2016, para. 2). The reason that air pollution is extremely harmful is that of its increased risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and chronic and acute respiratory diseases, including
Air pollution is when particles of dust, gases, and other harmful substances cloud and mask the air into a harmful cloud of oxygen, which we inhale 20 times every minute. And for every minute, we pay the price. Why? Air pollution has grown rapidly over the years and it is no longer something we can joke about. Southern California residents are obligated to take action against the issue of air pollution because it is one of the causes of global warming and negative health impacts and although air pollution has gotten better in Southern California, there are many causes putting California at the top of the list of polluted areas.
In another effort to improve human life New Delhi, India suffers from a similar problem in present day called smog. Cars,power plants and everyday life has put them into a situation where they are forced to wear masks and put air purifiers Into their own homes. The level of air pollution is pm 2.5 in which
There’s a vast amount of issues going on in the state of Texas and no one seems to make an innovation. One of the biggest issue in the state of Texas is pollution in our cities. Based on my outside knowledge, no person seems to bother to make a change in our ecosystem. People seem to care less on how our environment’s health is and focus more in themselves, which is causing a more serious problem. Maybe not in that same time, but thorough the years, it’ll not just cause an issue in our environment, but also among ourselves.
Mott Haven which is 1.181 mi² have been primarily a residential neighborhood in the southwestern section of the Bronx borough in New York City. Zip codes include 10451, 10454, and 10455. This site includes various things such as provisioning services, regulating services, cultural services, and supporting services. This site is also full of water sources, natural gases, and very biodiverse which are being polluted by human activities. Pollution can be physical chemical or biological and can affect water air or soil.
The common misconception is that air pollution is under control, but the fact of the matter is, it’s not it’s inclining, and is hurting thousands of Canadians annually. “Air pollution is a "silent killer" and is unique in that it affects the entire population”, according to Dr. Michael Brauer, professor at the school of population and public health, University of British Columbia. Canada in respects to the recent updated World Health Organization mandates have fallen behind, the need is for Canada to act sooner rather than later. We commonly refer to Global Warming as air pollution, so the government needs to understand what scientists are saying about this ageless disaster. Air pollution essentially means gas, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon
The effects on people’s health is that air pollution can cause stroke, heart diseases, lung cancer or asthma. A mother of two boys said “On poor air quality days when my family has to breathe particles and ozone smog, my kids’ asthma gets worse. They cough and even have asthma attacks.” This proves that the air in China is so
1. Introduction Air pollutin is a public health concern and it has been since the discovery of fire. Incidents and episodes of air pollution have been recorded throughout the history. Air pollution is divided into two, it is the indoor air pollution and the outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution is produced in households or at offices by pollutants such as tobacco smoke, household products or pesticides.
Recently, air pollution has been changed since 1950s, Firstly in 1950s, air pollution was visible and mostly caused by factories. Now, air pollution has become invisible because of the cars and vehicle pollution. The main reason for this rising problem is because people are vehicle independent. In conclusion, governments should take actions to this urgent issue which risks to people 's health.
CHAPTER 1 1. INTRODUCTION The air we respire contains mixture of natural and man-made chemical, physical and biological elements that modifies ambient air quality. Among all air pollutants, the most threatening for human health include particulate matter and gaseous pollutants such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (WHO). The movement of people into urban areas and the growth of industry within these areas has carried more people into contact with air pollution than any other time in recent memory.
One of the greatest issues that we face towards the environment has been an increasingly difficult problem over the last few years. Earths climate is changing at rapid paces and solutions are needed as quickly as possible to replenish natural ecosystems and cultures that depend on the environment. Climate change not only affects the animals in our ecosystem, but us humans as well. With the human population increasing every year, climate change is only getting worse. Many argue that the effects of climate change towards the environment are due to other extraneous factors, however, I myself am a strong believer that the problems such as rising sea levels, warmer temperatures and natural disasters are all due to both natural causes and human activity.
There are many problems that threatens society and one problem in particular, air pollution is a problem that threatens everyone. Air pollution is the contamination of air with pollutants that are harmful to humans, animals, and the environment. It began to be a problem when humans discovered the uses of fire and then the amount of air pollution exponentially grew after the industrial revolution, and is still a problem even today. The largest causes of air pollution are from human activities such as burning of fossil fuels and gas emissions from manufacturing plants. There are ways that ordinary people can help contribute to prevent air pollution and or else face the dangerous consequences of polluted air.
