1. Motivation & Goals
Industrialization and Urbanization
The combination of industrial growth and urban expansion has dramatically increased air pollution levels. Industrial processes release significant quantities of toxic emissions, and urban areas experience higher pollution due to the increased number of vehicles, energy consumption, and construction activities. This pollution harms human health, damages the environment, and contributes to climate change.The ongoing rise in urban populations and industrial development calls for urgent measures to reduce emissions and shift towards cleaner energy sources to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution.
Fine Dust (PM) causes serious health issues
Respiratory diseases: Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
Cardiovascular diseases: Increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and high blood pressure.
Allergic reactions: Symptoms like sneezing, eye irritation, and skin rashes.
Increase in Fine Dust Concentration in East Asia
Increased traffic: More vehicles lead to more emissions of fine dust.
Industrial activities: Factories and power plants release pollutants into the air.
Use of heating fuels: Coal and other heating fuels release particulate matter during winter.
Natural phenomena: Events like yellow dust from deserts in China and Mongolia, especially during the spring.
Study Objectives
Analyze the causes of fine dust generation.
Study its movement and distribution characteristics in the atmosphere.
Based on this analysis, propose effective and feasible reduction measures.
