• Another recent problem is haze (smoke and fog caused by particulate matter),which occurred on a large scale for several months in 1997 and caused respiratory complaints and other health problems in the community. In this incident, the haze was caused by the huge forest fires on Kalimantan Island and in other parts of Indonesia, across the sea from Malaysia. It is therefore aunique environmental problem that will not be easy to solve.
Air pollution is caused by discharge of harmful substances in the air. One of
the key contributing factors is automotive pollution. With the growing
technology, the number of vehicles on road is dramatically increasing
which is eventually giving a pushing up the level of air pollution. Apart from
this, industries indulged into thermal power plant, cement, steel, mines,
petro-chemicals, and steel also generate harmful substances that are
released into the atmosphere. This kind of pollution has caused harm to
the protective ozone layer in the atmosphere. This layer protects the earth
from the harmful effects of ultra-violet rays but thinning of this layer is
causing a danger to human life. Air pollution comes from a wide variety of
sources. Some of the most excessive sources include: Vehicle or manufacturing exhaust; • Forest fires, volcanic eruptions, dry soil erosion, and other natural sources; and • Building construction or demolition.
