Measures to prevent and control smog

As many industries are becoming more and more developed, our living environment has become worse and worse. There is a lot of haze in the air. If we inhale this haze into our bodies, it will cause great harm to our lungs. Therefore, in order to improve the environmental protection quality of the whole people, each of us should protect the environment and our own respiratory system. So what are the prevention and control measures for haze?

1. The main way to control haze is to reduce emissions.

Currently, the large-scale use of various fossil energy sources is the main cause of smog weather. Generating electricity requires burning coal, but in reality less than 30% of the coal burned is converted into electricity, and the rest is emitted. Cars, ships and other machinery require oil. Similarly, the engine converts less than 30% of the oil into power, and the rest is discharged. In other words, we use less energy and emit more.

2. Plant more trees.

Afforestation is of great significance for regulating climate, conserving water resources and reducing air pollution. Because trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. And it can withstand wind and sand. It can also beautify the environment. Artificial afforestation is divided into five categories according to different management purposes and characteristics: timber forest, protection forest, economic forest, firewood and charcoal forest, and special-purpose forest. For example, bamboo willow, oleander, locust tree, camphor tree, yew tree, etc. This requires the participation of all the people. It can not only beautify our homes, reduce the harm of soil erosion and wind and sand to farmland, but also effectively improve the carbon storage capacity of forest ecosystems.

Damage to the ecological environment and transportation:

1. Affect traffic safety.

During haze weather, due to poor air quality and low visibility, traffic jams and accidents are likely to occur. When driving in daily life, you should pay more attention to the road conditions to avoid danger.

2. Haze weather is more likely to cause cancer.

During haze weather, there is a serious lack of sunlight and the ultraviolet rays near the bottom layer are significantly weakened, making it difficult to kill bacteria in the air, thereby greatly increasing the probability of infectious diseases. Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases, once pointed out at a forum that over the past 30 years, the smoking rate among the public in my country has continued to decline, but the incidence of lung cancer has increased by more than 4 times. This may be related to the increase in haze days. Not only will dense fog and extremely low visibility have an impact on human health, but weather that is sometimes foggy and sometimes cloudy will also have the same problem.

3. Impact on the ecological environment.

Haze weather has a significant impact on highways, railways, aviation, shipping, power supply systems, and crop growth. Fog and haze can cause a decline in air quality, affect the ecological environment, and cause great harm to human health.
