2. At an individual level, how can you help reduce air pollution?
One can take these extra steps to reduce air pollution:
(i) Try travelling in public vehicles such as buses, metro, railways etc.
(ii) Try not to burn trash or any other material which would then release harmful gases. Instead, you can dump it in the soil.
(iii) Switch to LPG or other stoves rather than cooking food in wood stoves. Due to this, there is an increase in carbon monoxide in the air.
(iv) One can also go for plantation of trees wherever possible. This also helps in increasing the oxygen content in the air which leads to the purification of air.
(v) Avoid using petrol or diesel-based vehicles instead try to shift to CNG-based vehicles.
