Modernise. Change polluting machinery or implement a more refined process / machinery. Increased use of electricity and natural gas in place of coal is an example of replacement.

In households we have replaced coal choolas with LPG. Try solar panel alternatives.

Recharge. This is a slow but sure process. It aids the self cleansing property of the environment. The establishment of green belts between industrial and residential areas is an attempt at recharging.

What you can do:

Plant or nurture at least one tree in your lifetime.

Protect yourself. The use of a mask and scarf while driving in crowded places filters out at least the solid impurities.

Disinfect. Better ventilation can diffuse the concentration of bacteria. Sterilised atmospheres like operating theatres use U-V light to control infection.
