Rapid industrialisation, burgeoning cities and greater dependence on fossil fuels have brought in their wake increased production of harmful pollutants, making life more and more unpleasant and unhealthy. Among the most common and virulent of air pollutants are sulphur dioxide, suspended particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and lead. In addition, there is evidence of a growing threat to human health from even indoor pollutants such as radons, formaldehyde, mercury and organic substances.

Various methods and techniques of air pollution and its control are also discussed
