how to manage

 

There are various air pollution control technologies and urban planning strategies available to reduce air pollution.
Efforts to reduce pollution from mobile sources includes primary regulation (many developing countries have permissive regulations),expanding regulation to new sources (such as cruise and transport ships, farm equipment, and small gas-powered equipment such as lawn trimmers, chainsaws, and snowmobiles), increased fuel efficiency (such as through the use of hybrid vehicles), conversion to cleaner fuels (such as bio-ethanol, bio-diesel, or conversion to electric vehicles).
Before using your car, ask yourself:
• do I really need to make this journey?
• could I walk or cycle instead of taking the car?
• could I take a bus, tram or train?
• are the levels of air pollution already too high today?

If you must drive:
• Drive smoothly. You'll save fuel, and your engine will also pollute less;
• don't rev your engine unnecessarily;
• Maintain your car. Keep the engine properly tuned and the tires at the right pressure; and turn off the engine when your car is stationary.
At home
• Buy water-based or low-solvent paints, varnishes, glues and wood preservatives.
• Avoid burning solid fuels if possible. If you live in a smoke control area, burn only authorized smokeless fuels (your local authority can advise you).
• Avoid lighting bonfires, but if you must, don't light them when pollution levels are high or while the weather is still and cold. Only burn dry material and never burn household waste, especially plastic, rubber, foam or paint. Levels of pollution can be quite high on bonfire night and other events/festivals with bonfires, and sensitive people, including people with respiratory conditions, may notice some effects. However exposure can be considerably reduced by remaining indoors and keeping windows closed.
