Air pollution can come from natural sources, such as smoke from a forest fire ignited by lightning or gases from an erupting volcano. However, human activities release many kinds of substances into the atmosphere and contribute greatly to global air pollution. Some of these substances are harmful when they settle on land and surface waters, and some substances are harmful because they alter the chemistry of the atmosphere. Although many different air pollutants exist, we focus on the seven most important types from a regulatory perspective: particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon oxides, hydrocarbons, ozone, and air toxics. Air pollutants are often divided into two categories, primary and secondary. The major primary air pollutants are carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and hydrocarbons.
Ozone and sulfur trioxide are secondary air pollutants......
