The air we breathe is a mixture of gases and small solid and liquid particles. Some substances come from natural sources while others are caused by human activities such as use of motor vehicles, domestic activities, industry and business. Air pollution occurs when the air contains substances in quantities that could harm the comfort or health of humans and animals or could damage plants and materials. These substances are called air pollutants and can be either particles, liquids or gaseous in nature. Keeping the air quality acceptable limit has become an important task for decision makers as well as for non-governmental organizations. Particulate matter and gaseous emissions of pollutants from industries and auto exhausts are responsible for rising discomfort, increasing airway diseases and deterioration of artistic and cultural patrimony in urban centers.
