ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an interdisciplinary understanding of air pollution and proposal of solutions. Air pollution causes an increase in atmospheric particulates and gas constituents, which adversely affect human health and the environment. Human economic and social activities are the main cause. Naturally occurring sandstorms and mountain fires are also responsible, but those of natural origin may not be included in air pollution. London Smog was a pollution incident of the worst scale that occurred in England in 1952 in which more than 12,000 people died. Between December 5 and 10, a high pressure over the United Kingdom resulted in a cold fog covering London. Formation of sulfur oxides can be suppressed by the desulfurization apparatus in the combustion of liquid fossil fuels, but it is difficult to suppress the formation of nitrogen oxides as they are produced by the contact with water.
