Effects of Air Pollutants

Akshey Bhargava, Swati Bhargava, Richa Singhal, Twinkle Ahuja

Abstract


Air pollution has become an emerging global concern which in itself is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. Air pollution has various direct or indirect effects from primary and secondary air pollutants. Its effect on human health is highly essential to know with cause effect relationship. An effort has been made by the authors in the present paper to highlight the effects of such air pollutants on human being in order to formulate integrated planning in terms of mitigating the problem.
