- Air pollution is the contamination of the internal or external environment by the chemical, physical or biological means which modify the natural conditions of the atmosphere.
- Processing industries release a lot of air pollutants (eg. dust from cotton, iron mill, flour mill, cement industries, asbestos industry) causing pneumoconiosis and other pulmonary health problems.
- Fuel industries consume coal and other fossil fuels which send out smoke, polluting gases, and hydrocarbons.
- Chemical industries send out toxic chemicals into the air that have a harmful effect on plants, animals, and humans.
