Over the years, air pollution has become the greatest environmental challenge faced by people, especially in urban areas. Most often, it is caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels in thermal power plants, and other industrial processes like petroleum refining, smelting, mining, construction, transportation, agriculture etc. In addition, to human sources of air pollution, it can also be caused by natural processes. For example, volcanic eruptions release Sulphur dioxide and other pollutants, which react in the atmosphere to produce volcanic smog, called ‘Vog’.
Air pollution can occur at various scales, from local to regional.
- Local air pollution - This occurs at a small spatial scale. For example, indoor air pollution caused due to use of unsafe cooking fuel like wood by poorer households in India is a type of local air pollution.
- Regional air pollution - It is generally caused by the running of industries, thermal power plants and vehicles. It is mostly a problem in urban areas of the world. However, in developing countries like India, burning of Crop residue after harvest is also a major contributor to regional air pollution. There have been two recent happy examples where large-scale forest fires(Brazil’s forest fires of 2019 and Australian bush fires of 2019-2020) caused regional air pollution.
With large-scale urbanisation and industrialisation in present times, the challenge of air pollution has assumed unprecedented dimensions. World Health Organisation calls it an invisible killer that lurks around, attacking the body’s defences and causing mortality from heart attack, strokes, lung diseases and cancer, and we must take some preventive measures to stop air pollution. Already government agencies, many environmentalists and some social groups globally have started taking significant preventive actions to stop future air depletion. In such cases, Slogans play an important role in motivating people very easily to stop air pollution.
In this article, I have provided 35+ unique and catchy slogans and quotes on air pollution. I hope these slogans and quotes on air pollution will be ideal for inspiring people to take action and do so immediately.
