ASSIGNMENT

Total Suspended Particulate Matter (TSP), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Particulate Matter (PM)10, and Particulate Matter (PM)2.5 are the main air pollutants in my neighborhood of Kane Country, Illinois, USA.

In Illinois, vehicles such as cars, trucks, and buses are a substantial source of air pollution, which has an impact on everyone. Fossil fuel combustion (ash and soot), industrial activities (metals, fibers, etc.), fugitive dust (wind and mechanical erosion of nearby soil), and photo chemically produced particles (complex chain reactions) are typical sources that release particles into the atmosphere. Motor vehicles are the main source of carbon monoxide (CO). When burning fuels with high combustion temperatures, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline, atmospheric nitrogen can react with molecular oxygen (O2) to create a variety of nitrogen oxides (NOx).

65 percent or more of the days fell into the AQI "Good" category in the Lake County, North & West Suburbs, Kane, Joliet/Will County, Rockford, Rock Island, Peoria, Champaign, Normal, Decatur, and Springfield sectors. One in Rockford, one in Rock Island, one in Peoria, three in Normal, two in Champaign, and three in the Metro-East made up the sectoral breakdown for "Unhealthy for Vulnerable Groups," which also included 11 in Lake County, 9 in Chicago, 17 in the North & West Suburbs, 10 in the South & West, 7 in Aurora-Elgin of Kane, and 7 in Will County. For "Unhealthy," there were one sector each in Lake County, Chicago, the North and West Suburbs, the South and West Suburbs, Aurora-Elgin of Kane, and Joliet/Will County.

If I had time and resources, I would generate awareness among the public regarding the consequences of air pollution by guiding my juniors to go green and doing community drama regarding the effect of air pollution. Another thing I would do is plantation and ask my community members to participate in plantation program.
