Abstract

Earth's atmosphere is made of two gases Nitrogen and Oxygen. Five major air pollutants are Ground level Ozone, Airborne particles or aerosols, Carbon monoxide, Sulfur dioxide, Nitrogen dioxide. Air pollutants risky to human health are Ground level Ozone and Aerosols. They are the main ingredients of Smog . The ground level ozone is formed when sunlight reacts with certain chemical emissions like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide or methane These chemicals are emitted from industrial waste, car exhaust, gasoline vapors etc. Air quality is measured with the Air Quality Index. An AQI under 50 is considered as good air quality however as the AQI number increases , it becomes a concern for human health . Researcher measured the PM level (PM 2.5 and PM 10), temperature, Humidity and other related parameters continuously on different woods in different times in a fixed size room and constrained environment to establish that Yagya is a reliable source to reduce environment pollution .

Introduction

Scenario of Pollution and Need to Connect With Indian Culture

Environmental pollution is the one of the most important aspects to be taken into account if the humans want to give their offspring an Environment which is suitable for living otherwise the rate at which the pollution is increasing makes things worse for upcoming generations. Due to the rapid growth of industrialization and modernization which are the main needs to being economically strong for any country, the pollution is also increasing at an alarming rate (Rastogi, R. et al, 2017). The contamination in the environment at any level whether it is atmospheric level or in the water bodies or in the soil is making the condition worse for human beings as well as other living creatures. As a need of industrialization and infrastructural requirements of the modernization trees are cutting on a large scale resulting in the increased global temperature which is affecting the freshwater glaciers and also the forest fires are happening every year in every part of the world due to which a large number of flora and fauna are going to be extinct and endangered. all the countries of the world mainly the densely populated ones are facing more or less climatic changes (resulting in the untimely rain which causes droughts, floods), increased AQI (due to increased level of PM2.5 in the environment) and many more environmental problems, and India is among them (Chauhan P. et al,2015).

Global Pollution Scenario

Pollution is the largest environmental problem for living things and it affects us in different ways. It can cause several diseases and kill more than 13 million people die of outdoor pollution due to an unhealthy environment and nearly 92% of pollution-related deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries (Rastogi, R. et al, 2018a). India leads the highest world die due to pollution 2.5 million, or about 24.5% of all deaths in the country & China is second with 1.98 million, or 19.5% and Pakistan is third 311,189 with 21.9% death. Less die from an illness like AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria and more die from pollution each year (as per Fig. 1).

Air pollution contributes to 9% of deaths globally in 2017. Air pollution Compose the most pressing environmental health risk facing our Global Population. Air pollution kills an estimated about seven to eight million people worldwide every year and about 3.4 million people deaths each year in outdoor air pollution. Outdoor air pollution is the leading cause of death, including stroke, heart problems, respiratory diseases such as asthma and lung cancer. In each year die of people from air pollution have increased & the death rate also increased. Indoor air pollution is the largest environmental problem for those who often do not have access to clean fuels for cooking. It can cause heart disease, pneumonia, stroke, diabetes, and lung cancer. Indoor air pollution is also a major health problem, Indoor air pollution is responsible for about 1.6 million people deaths each year. Air pollution effects are not limited, it affects the whole atmosphere(Hannah Ritchie, Max Roser, 2019).
