Fig. 5.5 Representing global GDP per capital and increase in primary pollutant of air pollution
irritation, etc. The lungs is the organ which is mainly responsible for the respiration
and it is spongy in nature. Due to smoking and exposure to smoke as well as inhaling
of toxic gases compelled the cells to divide and this led to the growth of tumours
resulting in breathing problems and developing lung cancer and also asthma is also a
major consequence which is designated by inflammation of lungs, obstruction in the
path as well as high mucous formation rate. Also, environmental hazards like global
warming, acid rain, temperature inversion are effects. Due to global warming, there
is high climatic distress and rise in sea level has also become a major reason to worry.
Acid rain has a high range of destructive effects on the environment as well as on
human health. Several respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia are
some of the harmful effects of it. Also, acid rain disturbs the PH of the water level by
making it acidic and thus hampers the aquatic life. Apart from that, it has corrosion
effect on marble and its marble statues. Several matrices used for calculation and
understanding the pollution are PSI (Pollution Standard Index) which is used for the
risk assessment. It is mainly based on the concentration (ug/m3) of pollutants. AQI
(Air Quality Index) is the estimation of the condition of air and it is divided into
six ranges. AQI is first introduced in 1986. Based on concentration, the calculation
of AQI takes place over a particular averaging period. AQI is a Piecewise Linear
function which is also known as segmented function of the concentration of the
pollutants.In terms of mathematics, concentration can be transformed to AQI as [24,
25]:
AQI =
I H − I L
C H − C L
· (C − C L ) + I L
where C is the concentration of the pollutants.
