In some situations, anthropogenic activity is likely to contribute to air pollution
after several years. Entry of disintegrated paint after few years into the air is often
associated with entry of heavy metals, present in the pigments of paints, in the air.
Air pollution occurs due to many anthropogenic activities of varying magnitudes
and pollutants. Some activities such as lighting candle may not cause significant
health hazard immediately but the data are not available to prove beyond doubt that
it will not affect health.
