Let's Make Our Air Clean & Breathable

A young boy was playing with his friends in the school compound when a big truck went by and left behind a vast trail of smoke. The boy coughed and choked, but he did not understand why this happened. He ran home and asked his mom why it happened. She explained that it was because of the pollution caused by vehicular emissions, and the boy now understands that we all must do something to reduce the pollution caused by vehicular emissions, but still, many people don't know that the pollution from the tailpipes of vehicles is a big problem. It is causing the air to become polluted and harming people's health.

A study from the World Health Organization has found that the number of people who die each year from conditions caused by polluted air could be up to 3 million. This is about the same as the number of people that die from tobacco use, and twice as many as those killed in road accidents.

Dust pollution on construction sites is a widespread and dominating phenomenon. Different kinds of dust are present in humongous amounts at a construction site. Dust piles are often at the sites from which the winds carry them and travel to other parts of the city or state, increasing pollution areas in other areas also. Wooden dust can also be found due to the grilling and drilling of the wood during construction.

Biomass burning, a practice deeply rooted in agricultural and domestic life, takes various forms across landscapes. Fields, post-harvest, are often set ablaze to clear stubble, a common agricultural tradition. In rustic homes, wood crackles in traditional hearths, providing warmth and preserving cultural ties. Meanwhile, the chulah, a traditional cookstove, completes this spectrum of biomass burning, blending necessity with a timeless connection to nature.
