The quality of our atmosphere is a major concern in today's world due to the increase in air pollution caused by human activities. The burning of fossil fuels, transportation, industrialization, and deforestation are some of the leading causes of air pollution. The increase in air pollution has led to serious health problems such as respiratory diseases, cancer, and heart problems, which has made it a major public health concern. Over the years, there have been significant efforts to lower the levels of air pollutants in the atmosphere. Governments, organizations, and individuals are all working together to find ways to reduce air pollution. One of the major solutions to reduce air pollution is to lower the emissions of pollutants from different sources. This involves adopting cleaner technologies and promoting sustainable practices. For example, the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power can significantly reduce the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere. Carbon emissions are one of the most well-known types of air pollutants. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming. To lower carbon emissions, governments around the world are adopting policies such as carbon taxes and carbon credits. Companies are also investing in renewable energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint. However, carbon emissions are not the only type of air pollutants that we need to be concerned about. Other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter are also significant contributors to air pollution. These pollutants can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and other health problems. One of the ways to reduce these pollutants is through the use of air filters. Air filters can be used in homes, cars, and industrial buildings to reduce the levels of pollutants in the air. Different types of air filters are available, such as HEPA filters, which can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns. Another area of research is air capture technology, which involves capturing carbon dioxide from the air and storing it underground or in other forms. This technology is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Air pollution is a significant public health concern that needs to be addressed. The increase in air pollutants caused by human activities has led to serious health problems and environmental risks. However, efforts are being made to reduce air pollution through the adoption of cleaner technologies, the promotion of sustainable practices, and the use of air filters and air capture technology. By working together, we can create a cleaner and healthier atmosphere for future generations.

Hello Ashutosh! This is your mentor Yewon.
Your report was very interesting to me because it introduced several innovative and specific solutions to the air pollution problem! Especially, this is the first time I heard about air filters, so it seemed very interesting!
I think those technologies are very effective to decrease air pollution. I hope many helpful technologies would be developed and hopefully, the air pollution problem would be solved!
Thank you for your informative report! Great job!!

Hello Ashutosh! This is your mentor James!
First of all, my apologies for the late comments.
I surely agree that air pollution has been gaining much attention these days, but it saddens me that the reason behind this is due to the number of casualties caused by the toxicants. If we were able to curb air pollutant emission beforehand, the world wouldn't have to lose innocent lives annually. I appreciate the fact that you've mentioned various pollutants other than carbon dioxide with further explanation!
Thank you for your contribution! Looking forward to reading your next report.
