Abstract:
The occurrence of drastic climate changes is a consolidated knowledge. These events
have an effect on land modification and alteration of precipitation level. The changes
of geophysical factors are indicted to lead to biodiversity decline and a loss of functionality
of ecosystems. The human quality of life and health is clearly affected
by these environmental changes. The combination of climate changes with environmental
pollution, due to human activities, has become a critical factor for a sustainable
development and to human quality of life. The air pollution, foremost associate with
mankind activities, is a global menace for whole environment and, in particular, for
human well-being. The air pollutants have been classified into two main classes:
biotic and abiotic. The first group contains different elements as pollen, virus and
bacteria. The second group contains physical and chemical pollutants as radioactivity
or organic compounds. Taking their origin into account the air pollutants are classified
as primary and secondary. The primary air pollutants are those generated by a
natural events or anthropic activities
