PMCID: PMC2370925  PMID: 20468935

Abstract

Defining air pollution as an artificial change in the environment which adversely affects its use, the article breaks down the problem of air sanitation into its basic components: emission, dispersion, air quality and health effects. Controlling factors and influences are discussed. The article concludes that only a cooperative effort between government, industry and the engineering and health sciences will produce the air sanitation we require for good community health, while maintaining as much as possible the technological development our civilization demands.
