Causes Winter Air Pollution: Winter pollution results from a mix of natural and man-made causes that trap pollutants closer to the ground. Understanding these factors is critical for addressing them successfully.
Several causes can contribute to increased pollution during the winter. One of the key causes is temperature inversion, which occurs when cold air sets near the ground, trapping warmer air above and prevents pollutants from dispersing. Furthermore, many households use biomass and fuels to heat their homes, such as wood and coal, which emit harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulates.
