Air pollution has become a major concern for the citizens of India. The smoke emanating from buses, trucks, rickshaws, scooters and many automatic vehicles in the nation is increasing day by day.\u00a0 Due to this, the evidence of all these gases are increasing in the atmosphere like sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and carbon monoxide (CO).\u00a0 Apart from this, the carbon material called benzene is also increasing in the atmosphere, which is a major concern.\u00a0 Due to this harmful fluid the chances of getting diseases like cancer can increase. The harmful particles present in the air are so tiny that they reach the windpipe through the nose, resulting in increased diseases like lung disease, cough and shortness of breath.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with this, the smoke coming out of houses and factories also increases the air pollution.\u00a0 SO2 is generated from the burning of coal and geological fuels used in factories.<\/span><\/p>\n
