It is the responsibility of everyone, from industries to families and individuals, to save our precious earth through pollution prevention and conservation of natural resources - through reduce, reuse and recycle.

Your actions today will decide the quality of tomorrow's world. Everyone must join in to make a difference for all generations to come. Air and water are life's most valuable resources, without them no living thing on earth can survive. Free the air and water from pollutants.

The two major pollutants are sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Emissions of sulphur dioxide are mostly from fossil fuel (coal and oil), combustion in electric power production, and industrial processes (the primary metals, petroleum industry, chemical manufacturing, and mineral products). Emissions of nitrogen oxides are mostly from the transportation industry and fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) combustion.

When water vapour and droplets in the air combine with sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, they fall to the earth as acid rain (sulphates and nitrates).

Acid rain is harmful to aquatic life---fish populations and water plants---and the terrestrial ecosystem. It may damage or slow the growth of crops and forests. In addition, it may affect drinking water quality by causing the release of heavy metals from soil.

Reduce, reuse, and recycle. Help preserve our world for all generations to come.
