Industrial and other production orientated industries contribute significant amounts of organic compounds such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other related compounds that are influencing and increasing the greenhouse effect on the planet.
These compounds found in gases released by chemical solvents and the burning of fossil fuels are the major sources of air pollution. The air pollution in the form of smog ( primarily in urban areas) and acid rain ( in rural farming areas) have a very destructive impact on both food production and increasing the incidences of respiratory ailments such as emphysema in humans.
In order to combat rising levels of air pollution, countries around the world have begun taking steps in combating and reducing greenhouse gas levels in an attempt to fight global warming. One of the first key agreements to address global warming was the Kyoto Agreement whereby 183 countries in 1997 committed to reducing their countries carbon dioxide emissions. Further to these types of agreements, countries individually have implemented laws and guidelines to combat air pollution.
