Abstract

In recent years, with the growing concentration of air pollutants, as for how to improve the air quality, draws the attention from all over the world. In general, there are two sources of air pollutants, one is natural disasters, the other is improper human activities. The air pollution caused by human activities, has emerged as a huge challenge on various aspects, including climate change, health impact to human body, living conditions for flora and fauna, ecosystems damage and the economy loss. In comparison, the solutions to reduce the density of pollutants and improve the air quality are divided into separate aspects which are intersected with different social and environmental situations. The aim of setting and publishing of the laws and legislations is to regulate the daily human behaviors which are possible to cause the air pollution. The analysis for the consistence of the major air pollutants will be beneficial to figure out the direction of how to improve the air quality and how hazard of each air pollutant would be. For instance, PM2.5 will primarily cause the decrease of the clearance in the air, further cause the increasing of human diseases such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The utilization of advanced technology would not only improve the efficiency of reducing the air pollutions, but also make the future disasters more foreseeable so that it is now possible to prevent and block them. All these listings are aiming to find the future trend of air quality and improve the measures we are taking currently.
