Air Pollutant Effects and Control Course is based on textbook learning material by Academy Europe.
The source, provides an overview of various aspects related to air pollution, beginning with the control of criteria pollutants and the field of epidemiology concerning their impact. It dedicates significant attention to the effects of exposure to criteria pollutants such as ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, often referencing tables and figures to illustrate data like Air Quality Index Health Concerns. The document further examines toxic air pollutants, including lead and dioxin, and addresses the specific challenges of indoor air quality, discussing issues such as secondhand smoke, radon, biological contaminants, and asbestos. Finally, the text explores the impact of pollutants on plant effects, providing examples of plant sensitivity to substances like sulfur dioxide.
Study Hard AND Study Smart!
Dear Students,

- The Unseen Threats: A Guide to Indoor Air QualityWhile we often hear about outdoor air pollution from traffic and industry, the air quality inside our homes, schools, and offices is an equally important, yet frequently overlooked, aspect of our environmental health. The spaces where we spend the majority of our time can harbor a unique set of pollutants with significant health implications. This document serves as a clear and simple introduction to common indoor air pollutants, their sources, and their potential health effects. Its goal is to provide homeowners and students with a foundational understanding of the risks that may be present in our daily environments.5
- Air Pollutants and Their Effects: A Study GuideThis guide provides a review of the core concepts, categories, and specific pollutants outlined in the source material on air pollution. It includes a short-answer quiz, an answer key, essay questions for deeper analysis, and a comprehensive glossary of terms.4
