Definition of Air Pollution
• Air pollution is the presence of any chemical, physical (e.g. particulate matter), or biological agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.

Types of Air Pollution
• Local street-level pollutionAir pollution in streets.
• Regional smog problemSmog problem in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta

Effects of Air Pollution
• Greenhouse effect– Rise of sea-level– Changing rainfall patterns– Increase in agriculture production

Methods of solving air pollution
• Use public transports instead of private vehicles
• Set laws to restrict the amount of exhaust fumes from the vehicles
• These can reduce the exhaust gas produced by the vehicles,thus less pollutants will be formed.
A public transport-bus

• To reduce the number of waste incineration since this produces lots of pollutants
• To avoid the burning of fossil fuels as they contain a lot of polluting gases
• Avoid smoking in the public area in order to reduce the amount of toxic gases. Smoking produces lots of harmful gases.
• Set laws to control the amount of exhaust fumes produced by power stations and factories

Suggestions to the HKSAR
• Provide financial support to car owners for car maintenance regularly.
• Plant more trees along the road side.

Suggestions to the HKSAR
• Develop alternative power resource to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels.
