Restricting air travel is the only way to prevent air pollution. Do you agree?

Clean

air

is one of the most vital things for the survival of life on the earth.

However

, these days its quality has deteriorated because of pollution. Many people think that if there is a limitation on the number of flights around,

then

the situation will improve. In my opinion,

this

is an impractical and incomplete solution. To commence with, people think of aeroplanes as the biggest source of

air

pollution because they fly and a large amount of fuel is required to generate energy to go up in the atmosphere against the force of gravity.

Moreover

, in order to continue the flight, energy is needed to maintain the relative velocity against the atmosphere. The combustion of

this

fuel releases 13,000 tonnes of harmful gases.

Therefore

, if there is a decline in the rate of the flying,

then

this

combustion will be decreased and there will be lesser harm to the nature.

On the contrary

, reduction in the

air

travel is not the most effective option for resolution.

Firstly

, the vehicles on the road cause much more damage to the natural habitat as compared to the aeroplanes.

For instance

, there is a release of 75,000 tonnes of harmful gases from the vehicles on the road, which is much higher than the release from the aviation.

In addition

, the fuel used in aircrafts is highly efficient as there is need to keep the aircraft as light as possible.

Secondly

, it is an impractical solution because it has enabled humans to navigate from one corner of the world to another within few hours. So, there is more usability of aviation. To conclude, putting restrictions on the rate of aviation is not a viable solution to prevent the

air

pollution. According to me, discovering cleaner methods of generation of energy not just for the aeroplanes, but road traffic and factories as well, could be much more effective resolution.
