Sources of Emissions of Air Pollutants
From a quick look at the pie-diagram, we realize the well-known but shocking fact that Industry is largely responsible for the emission of air pollutants. The pie-chart places the figure at 52%. Second on the list is transportation. This accounts for 27% of toxic gases sent out into the air. Surprisingly, agriculture is responsible for 10% of air pollutants. This may be because of fertilizer sprays and aerial sprays of chemicals such as pesticides and weedicides. Consumer and commercial products are responsible for 8% of air pollution. Commercial and residential heating causes a negligible 1% of air pollution. Other factors account for a nominal 2% of air pollution.
