how can I prevent air pollution?

Well you can start by adjusting your lifestyle and joining an advocacy group in your area that promotes cleaner living. Everything we do causes pollution but there are newer consumer technologies now that will help you reduce your ecological footprint.

Propose bills that would allow landlords to NOT allow their tenants to smoke in the units.\nMake cigarettes SO expensive because of taxes that people would NOT buy them.\nAsk family members of people who passed from lung cancer or other smoking related deaths to allow the family member's images be used for a nationwide commerical, targeting smokers.\nInstitute fines for not disposing of cigarette butts properly.

Air pollution is any substance that is emitted into the air that hamrs the environment. Preventive measures include finding newer energy sources, using less of the energy resources we have, driving less, and cleaning the emissions fron factories better than we are. Its effects on humans and plants include respitory problems, growth stunting, cancer of the skin, and prolonged exposure can include death and loss of sight and other motor skills. Thats all I have time to give you.

If you trust yourself not to burn the place down, you could light some candles. The flame will burn the carbon particles in the smoke and make it clear up quicker.

use a chemical pesticide taht they breathe in......or burn them out. :)

One might suggest reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, but this is only one aspect of the problem.  \n\nWhen carbon dioxide is released, usually from sources of combustion, other chemicals and particulates are also released.  So, curbing the release of carbon dioxide from these sources would also curb the release of these otehr chemicals and particulates.   A recent study has concluded that since we have worked at cleaning up emissions and reducing particulate releases, more sunlight is reaching the surface of the earth and actually _accelerates_ the process of global warming.\n\nHonestly, the best all of us could reasonably do is to be mindful of our energy consumption habits and try to not be wasteful in what we consume and dispose of.  In conjuction with this, look at adding foliage in areas that have been stripped of plant life.  More plants will effectively remove more carbon dioxide from the lower atmosphere.

''Conservation of land pollution''?\nYou must mean conservation of land, free of pollution.\nObviously is not as simple as the first answer... avoid fertilizers and you'll avoid food.\nBesides there are lot of organic fertilizers if that's your concern... not cheap or practical though.\nMain thing to do is to use non residual herbicides, or at least the less residual ones.\nSame with insecticides, avoid the ones that contain mainly Cl.\nDo not burn straw, kills all the bacterias and worms.\nPlant forestall curtains, etc

!) don't pollute- we can breathe easier\n\n2) don't start fights- little things can cause big problems\n\n3) don't be racist- keep your thoughts to yourself and try to smile and make friends\n\n4) don't start wars- disagreements can be solved by simply talking them over (dropping atom bombs doesn't help anyone)\n\n5) be friendly- little things like smiling to someone on a subway, or holding the door open for an elderly woman at the supermarket can add up to make the world a more peaceful place \n\n                        ~~hope this has helped~~

air pollution is everyting that kills the air and the ozone

Reduce pollutions is the answer, but a certain political party, and their lobbyist will fight you all the way. So I say there is no answer.

Don't throw your trash in it.  Don't put stuff in it that you wouldn't drink.  Keep water flowing -- don't let it stagnate and sit for a long time-- it builds up pollution.

Try to compress your lungs.  All that air takes up much needed space.

The proper answer is with HEPA filters. Air purifiers are only as good as the engineering before the manufacturing process. Air conditioning has no viable way to eliminate the toxic contamination(hidden in odors). \n\nTo rid yourself from the damaging effects of toxic paint fumes, you will need to have MSAH filters in combination with HEPA. But, you will rid yourself of possible lung damage.

Someone's had a party while their parents are away!\n\nStrike a few matches...the carbon should take some of the smell away...and open all the windows!

yes get rid of pollution

Anything that is electrically charged, such as most "natural" substances (pollen, dust, dander, etc-and smoke particles).  Most polluting gases, such as sulpher, carbon monoxide, etc, would not be effected.  From the tone of the question, I have to assume this is a person with some breathing difficulty due to environmental reaction- in that case, most of the offending substances would be removed or reduced by electrostatic purification.  They work much more effieciently if you have an ionizer as well, which increases the charge density on particles.

I am extremely allergic to cigarette smoke.  I bought an expensive air purifier to cope, but found they don't work.  I don't know of anything that helps.  You are a wonderful boss to think of this, bless you.
