The History of Air Pollution .

The problem of air pollution was first recognized about 500 years ago when the burning of coal in cities was increasing. About 200 years ago, a large growth was seen in the amount of coal burnt, as the Industrial evolution took place in India. The Industrial Revolution was a fast growth in industry that was based around the use of fossil fuels.  During foggy weather, when little wind was present the smoke produced by the coal would mix with the fog and form smog. The smog made it difficult for people to see and breathe. In 1952 the Great London Smog occurred, killing 4000 or more people.

Care should be taken now so that the history does not repeat.

We invite progressive schools in the country to actively participate in this awareness campaign that will involve the students .

We request students to be vigilant and if they spot any polluting vehicle on the road in their city, they can mail us with the details.

We at smartgkid.com will forward the mail to appropriate authorities in the government to take further action.

This will go a long way in protecting our environment and the students will be proud for their contribution towards a pollution free environment.

“ We assure the participating students that their names will not be revealed.”
