Abstract
It is important to scrutinize the causes and adverse effects of air pollution. This is with
respect to the main ways the pollutants are emitted into the environment as well as to the human
beings. Pollution has become a national and international threat to many countries due to the
effect of the global warming. It explains on the main compounds that cause the extremely toxic
substances and the way these affects the well-being of animals and human beings. It is thus
imperative to understand the formation of fogs and smog which is as a result of the air pollutants.
The Sultanate laws are formulated and the preventive, as well as the protective measures, are
emphasized in order to maintain the rate of pollution to the acceptable levels. The European
Union has also participated in ensuring that the member states do not suffer from the extremely
adverse effects of air pollution. This is the formulation of policies intended to benefit the EU
member states. The document thus discusses into details the causes, controls, and effects of air
pollution into details.

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION

Introduction
Pollution is the addition of the undesirable materials in the environment which is as a result
of the human activities. It has adverse effects on the environment as well as to the welfare of the
human beings. Pollution is thus caused by the physical, biological or the chemical substances
which are unintentionally exposed to the environment which adversely affects the human beings
indirectly or directly as well as affecting the welfare of living organisms. Pollution can thus be
categorized in terms of the receiving medium. The common types of pollution include water, sound
or noise pollution and air pollution (Miller, 2012). Environmental pollution as per the law of
conservation of environment (Sultanate) can be said to be the alteration of the quality of an
environment through the introduction of the polluting factors which poses danger to the human
beings or to the animals or that tends to damage the ecosystem which renders the ecosystems
unsuitable for the intended purpose. Environmental deterioration is thus the environmental impact
that minimizes the value of the environment and changes its nature as well as depleting the natural
resources found on it.
Environmental conservation is thus imperative to safeguard the lives and the well-being of
the human beings as well as ensuring the habitat of other living creatures is highly reserved. Air
pollution may involve a series of related events which results in environmental degradation. It can
be from transport and the transformation of the pollutants from their sources, their generation and
release from their natural sources and their negative effects on the people and ecosystem as well
as to the materials (Miller, 2012). The pollutants cannot be absolutely prevented in terms of their
emission but on the other hand, the effects can be controlled. In-depth knowledge especially the
effects of air pollution on the health of human beings and other creatures is paramount in
developing the effective policies aimed at reducing the adverse effects and impacts of air pollution.

Moreover, it is crucial to establish the necessary frameworks for assessing and managing the
quality of air.

Understanding the Aspects of Air Pollution
Air is a mixture of the gases especially to which both the non-living organisms and living
organisms get exposed to whether in private or in public or even in the working place. It may result
from the hazardous materials which may be manufactured or naturally found but with harmful,
combustible or toxic properties which are capable of triggering radiation or corrosion. In addition,
air pollution is mainly caused by wastes which are the refuse which results from the industries,
mines, agricultural activities, from domestic activities, from hospitals and the other operations
which may be recycled as per the provisions in force in the law that is ruling in Sultanate.
The control strategies should be implemented but by putting into regard the allowable
degrees of pollution emitted from the pollutants’ sources. To do this, it becomes imperative to
estimate the fate of the pollutants emissions into the atmosphere and its ambient concentrations.
This helps to make a comparison between the actual emissions and those that are considered
acceptable levels of pollution which may be presumed to give a rise in the negative effects. When
air pollution accumulates in large quantities in the air and in high concentrations, it can adversely
affect the environment. For example, those individuals who are exposed to high levels of air
pollution are likely to experience irritation in their eyes, throats, and noses. They may also be
exposed to breathing challenges, heart and lungs problems and increased chances of heart attack
problems. Therefore, air pollution is extremely a threat to the backbone of the environment in
which we live in. This has been proved by the current rates of cancer the populations are exposed
