Σύνοψη

Since the creation of the world, the environment suffered from different kinds of pollution. Names were given to these kinds of pollution and now the most known are: the noise pollution (were the noise exceeds the tolerable for the ear noise), air pollution (were the air contains particles
and substances which can be harmful for people, plants, animals and the world in general), the water pollution (were the water is contaminated by pesticides and by toxics, that are spread into the air, when it' s raining.
Someone can avoid noise pollution by staying away from blustery areas and can avoid water pollution when he is very careful in what water he drinks and uses for his needs. But how can someone protect himself from
air pollution?
There are some things that can be done to reduce air pollution and this will be the scope of this project. Though one thing is sure! Living creatures cannot stop breathing.
Someone may argue that there is no way to terminate the existence of pollution in the air, and this argument finds the most critics in agreement.
This is due to the fact that air pollution exists even to the most virgin forests, where people have not yet gone, due to fires and volcanic eruptions, all over the world in all continents. This project will deal mainly with the two most industrially developed continents, which are, Europe and the U.S.A.
This project will deal with the kinds of pollutants, the effects, of these pollutants, on humans (physically and mentally), on animals and the environment in general. It will also refer to the devices which are normally
used in order to determine the amount of these pollutants in the atmosphere and the reason these measurements are taken. Further more it will refer to
the equipment, which is used in order to minimize the air pollution that results from industry. Lastly an attempt is going to be made to show how people can contribute to this achievement in simple ways.
