POLLUTION OF AIR ( PART 3)

 1) CARBON MONOXIDE

*It is a colourless, tasteless & odourless gas.
*It is produced as a result of incomplete combustion of carbon
*It is highly poisonous to humans as it blocks the delivery of oxygen to the organs & tissues
*It binds haemoglobin in blood and forms CARBOXYHAEMOGLOBIN
*When the percentage of Carboxyhaemoglobin increases in blood, the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is greatly reduced
*This is called CARBON with MONOXIDE poisoning
*In such situations, a person may suffer from HEADACHES,BLURRED VISION, DIZZINESS,NAUSEA, CONFUSION, NERVOUSNESS, SHORT OF BREATH, LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS & CHEST PAIN DUE TO HEART ATTACK
*If this gas is inhaled in high amount, this may also lead to death
*This is one of the reason people are advised not to smoke



2) OXIDES OF SULPHUR

*Sulphur dioxide is poisonous for both plants & animals
*Even a very low concentration of this gas may cause respiratory diseases like ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA in human beings
*It also causes irritation to the eyes resulting in tears & redness
*If plants are exposed to a high concentration of sulphur dioxide, it leads to stiffness of flower buds to which the buds eventually fall
