AIR POLLUTION
Introduction smoke billowing from the smoke stacks Air pollution is a mixture of natural and man-made substances in the air we breathe. It is typically separated into two categories: outdoor air pollution and indoor air pollution.

Outdoor air pollution involves exposures that take place outside of the built environment. Examples include:

Fine particles produced by the burning of fossil fuels (i.e. the coal and petroleum used in energy production) Smoke from factories and industries Noxious gases (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, chemical vapors, etc.) Ground-level ozone (a reactive form of oxygen and a primary component of urban smog) Tobacco Smoke Indoor air pollution involves exposures to particulates, carbon oxides, and other pollutants carried by indoor air or dust. Examples include:

Gases (carbon monoxide, radon,CFCs, etc.) Household products and chemicals Building materials (asbestos, formaldehyde, lead, etc.) Outdoor indoor allergens (cockroach and mouse dropping,mosquitoes etc.) Tobacco smoke Mold and pollen In some instances, outdoor air pollution can make its way indoors by way of open windows, doors, ventilation, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabnam sk (talk • contribs) 05:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

In the section Cost of Pollution: In 2005 pollution abatement capital expenditures and operating costs in the US amounted to nearly $27 million.

Change $27 million to $27 billion to be consistent with the reference. SkyMind (talk) 08:18, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Please change cause to causes in the first line Sabab Safwan Chowdhury (talk) 13:59, 28 November 2018 (UTC) Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse change


 * ❌. The subject of the verb "cause" is "contaminants", not" introduction ".  You could probably make a case either way, but there's no need to change.  –Deacon Vorbis (carbon &bull; videos) 14:11, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
