How can indoor air pollution be prevented?

Answer 1

There are some steps that if more people took them we would have a lot less pollution to deal with.

• Drive your car less.
• Instead of driving, walk, bike, take public transit, or carpool.
• Don't smoke. Smokers are polluting the air.
• Turn off lights when you leave the room. The electricity plant likely puts pollution in the air. If you don't use as much electricity, they don't have to make as much.
• Same goes with heating/AC. They use power, which is usually made in ways that form air or water pollution. Put on warm clothes instead. Or take them off.
  
• Going in public vehicles instead of private vehicles because in that way polluted air sent out decrease.
• Installing electronic air cleaners in houses (costs about $500 - $700).
• Adding plants and trees to the surrounding environment

A:

• first try not to use your car for short trips
• second for short trips, why not walk, cycle or use public transport. Cycling or walking is healthier for the environment and you. In fact, you are exposed to much higher levels of air pollution inside a car than if you walked or cycled.
• third have your car serviced regularly so that it runs efficiently, saves fuel and does not pollute the air as much.
• fourth regularly check your car's tuning and tyre pressure to improve fuel consumption
• Finally steady your speed as emissions rise above 70mph .

A:

• Eat food that is grown locally. Food flown half way round the world has a larger carbon footprint.
• Stop using so much electricity.
• Don't boil a full kettle if you only want one cup.
  
  • Don't wash a few items in the washing machine, wait till you have a full load.
    
  • Hang your washing on a line to dry.
  • Turn off your computer etc at the wall, rather than leaving it on standby.
• Drink water from the tap if it's potable. Billions of plastic bottles are produced and then thrown away, every day.
• Cut down on your packaging, plastic bags and waste. Most of this is only used once and ends up in landfill. Plastic production adds carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere.

A:
First off, buy a hybrid car. There is a new one coming out on the market here soon. It should sell for under $20,000. Next write to the government about the problem. Commute a little different ride a bike or walk. A:

• ban investment in, and the manufacturing of, mass produced petrol/gas combustion engines for transport, beyond 2015 (apart from low-volume sports performance, and hydrogen/like.)
• 'BUY OUT' invested interests/companies,
• when possible use premises acquisitioned and varied to suit 'green' production needs.
• banning investment in power/electricity production.,
  
• buy out the invested interest.
  
• invest in wind energy production along coast. and offshore..?
• lock/hold price of oil and flow/production.
  
• ban investment in arms.
  
• production/costs to be undertaken by the govt sector only.
  
• buy out the stockmarket,
  
• ban monetised investment.

A:
If you really want to save energy, get a smart car. they save more energy (smart, get it!) and they are smaller then other cars so they use less gas. you could also car pool or take a bus. but if you want to be more eco friendly, you could walk or ride a bike all though this is a bad idea for colder regions.




try to buy a car running on eco-friendly way, avoid littering garbage on roads, complain about the industries that are not following rules to save environment.

People are preventing air pollution by going eco-friendlier. Like riding more bikes or car-pooling.
Yes, there is. You can reduce the air pollution that you produce a few ways...

• Don't use aerosols (hairspray, bug spray, ect.)
• Don't smoke
• Don't leave your car running idle
• Carpool, walk, ride a bike, or use public transportation
• Be careful of what you burn in your fireplace
  
• for prevent air pollution the government must make smoking areas for smoker. Example in office or in public place must made smoking areas. It can decrease air pollution in big cities. Beside that, we must reforestation. It can increase the oxygen.
• Also to ride less.

1) A lot of us use our vehicles to even go to the nearby grocer for supplies. You can walk, cycle and use public transport instead, thus causing less air pollution as well as saving in expenses.

2) A lot of pesticides and artificial fertilizers are used in producing vegetables and fruits. By going in for organic products, which use natural fertilizers causing lesser pollution in its production, would be a greener choice.

3) Using unleaded fuel and ensuring that your vehicle is properly tuned will result in less air pollution.

4) Another simple measure which can be adopted is to turn off the engine at traffic lights. A huge amount of pollution can be reduced by this simple step.
im not sure but maybe you can put a filter in items that polute? im not sure.

Answer 2

More people using public transportation since that would make there be less cars on the road, reducing our carbon monoxide emissions. Also, more people could take a caravan (drive with others) to work for the same reason.

Other ways to reduce:

1. Reduce the use of cars --- Your car is a significant source of air pollution, so switching to a more gas-efficient vehicle will be a big help. Taking public transport to work rather than driving will reduces the number of carbon dioxide into the air.

2. Reduce Waste --- Manufacturing of unnecessary or disposable goods often produces air pollution, so reduced purchasing of disposables will help. In general, follow the solid waste mantra - "Reduce, Reuse, Repair, And Recycle" - and this will reduce air pollution as well from transporting, treating, or disposing of unnecessary wastes.

3. Eliminate Toxic Chemical Use at Home --- A surprising number of household or home shop chemicals are toxic and volatile. Many release vapors into the air, inside the home and out. This can be serious health threat to your family, and contributes to community-wide levels of air pollutants.

5. No Burn Barrels --- Northeast Wisconsin communities need to pass and enforce ordinances prohibiting individuals or businesses from burning trash in their back yards. This type of uncontrolled burning is extremely polluting, especially when many people are doing it. When trash is burned incompletely and at relatively low temperatures, a great deal of soot and ash is produced. Many plastics, coatings, inks, paints, metals and treated woods will produce toxic chemical air pollutants such as dioxin, lead, arsenic, chromium, etc.

6. Plant leafy trees and shrubs --- Deciduous trees and shrubs (the kinds that drop leaves in the fall) are excellent air filters to help reduce smog and cool the air on hot summer days.
