Lying under the Zenith those imagination ever popped on my head, where I wondered a day under those clear sky jubilate with those pristine air, no more those puffy nebula of dusty air, no hectic traffic popping, not a day when my granny’s bronchitis lung contribute any expenditure to fill our stomach with those food cooked in firewood stove, my mother’s hand don’t force her to make “Guitha’’( cow dung and straw are mixed and given a shape of stick and sunbathed in summer which can be used in winter for firewood purpose which has became the major source of air pollution in rural area as extreme smoke comes from this) to warm those icy body as well as to warm the Earth, where my illiterate 85 years old grandpa don’t burn those all plastics bottles and wrappers to warm his sluggish body. Yes i imagined to have a peaceful environment with virgin air regardless of retrograde environment where I don’t fear to breathe, where my granny’s bronchitis lung still keep the hope to remain functional for some year and get a pint of clean and virgin air.

So ridiculous to express this is only up to imagination, way too disheartening but it is so real that a virgin pollution free atmosphere is arduous to rummage.I am an environment concerned girl, I proudly say but it makes me feel so worst and shameless to share this story that I could do nothing that still most of the people of rural community of my Region sustain their life making fermented product i.e alcohol using primitive technology which has resulted excessive emission of carbon dioxide as byproduct in this atmosphere and as a reward environment is rewarded with a gift i.e. AIR POLLUTION. Air is one of the most fundamental need of every life holding component existing in this universe. The quality of air that we breathe determines our average life expectancy. When having glance to existing situation, air pollution has became the major time bomb. Anything that alters the physical, chemical and biological composition of air is considered as air pollution. As the world is getting hotter and squeeze day by day, those engines continue to pump out dirty emissions, and the very air we people are breathing is growing dangerously polluted, nine out of ten people now inhale polluted air and which result the death of 7 million people every year. Meeting the goals of Paris Agreement to Combat Climate Change could save about millions of lives a year worldwide by 2050 through reduction in air pollution alone. With the advancement of newfangled technology and establishment of factories, industries various chemicals like carbon monoxide, Chlorofloro carbon, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides etc are getting altitudinous position which are the primary air pollutant and the pollutant from the interaction of primary pollutants are secondary pollutants like smog which directly affect this environment. Those unsympathetic activities followed during mining and burning of fossils fuel in power plant has added its contribution in rising the air pollution.Correspondingly, in developing and poor countries traditional biomass burning is a major source of air pollutant. Agriculture alone contribute nearly 24% of total green house gases emission (IPCC, 2014) i.e from the use of the synthetic fertilizers, landfills which produces excessive methane, enteric fermentation, and rice cultivation which contribute  more than 10% of global anthropogenic GHG emission (FAOSTAT, 2014). Although North America has less than 7% population but accounts 15-23% of the world’s emission in terms of trace gases important for radiative process of atmosphere and acidified rain. Use of nuclear weapon, germ warfare and rocketry for space exploration has also left its footprint in air pollution. Some of the air pollution is also due to the natural factors such as volcanic eruptions which eject tremendous amount of volcanic ashes and lava onto the earth surface adding dust and smoke to atmosphere thereby polluting the air, radioactivity released from decay of rocks, as well radon from the radioactive decay of earth crust, carbon sequestration, wind erosion and most importantly forest fire, The Amazon forest which effectuates about 20% of world’s oxygen, often called ‘’The lungs of Earth’’ is on the threat of fire which resulted to increase in carbon dioxide, use of paints which contains volatile compounds, formaldehyde and ozone on the atmosphere also assists in the elevation of air pollution.

In addition to this air pollution has the catastrophic effect on children and pregnant women, worldwide up to 14% children aged 5-18 years have asthma related problems, every year 543000 children younger than 5 year die from respiratory disease connected with air pollution, most of the childhood cancer, undeveloped fetal brain, autism spectrum disorder, congnitive impairment are major effect of polluted air. In case of plants, they usually show damage like necrosis, lesions, stunned plant growth, chlorosis, bronzing, mottling, decreased photosynthesis, restricting respiration, wilting etc. Similar to this accumulation of nitrogen leads to Eutrophication. As already discussed air pollution enhance global warming leading to climate change. Some historical consequences also clarify that air pollution has a devastating effect, The Bhopal Disaster that took place in India on December 1984 is considered as most catastrophic disaster in the world leading to the death of 3000 local people due to blockage on respiratory tract. Similarly, in December 1952, the United Kingdom faced its worst event of air pollution when a thick  smog covered  London which claimed the lives of 4000 people and 1000 suffered from respiratory problems due to smog. Air pollution can affect cardiovascular health by hardening arteries, increases the risk of heart attack and strokes, degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Schizophrenia.

To sum up, it’s a major challenging and a motif of pertain for people of contemporary era to sustain in those environment with a Darwinism Theory, ‘’Struggle for the Existence’’, all the concerned person from globally should join hand to rack up pollution free atmosphere so that future generation will deploy their existence. Now its our turn, Shall We????
