Air Pollution

Air Pollution Map

Main article: Pollution

Air Pollution is generated by some buildings, is effected by the wind, and can negatively impact Health and happiness when it blows across areas where your population works or lives. Over time Air pollution levels in a region can increase and produce a haze that hangs in the air.

• Wind data map uses blue arrows to show the direction of the wind blowing over your city. Be sure to construct your dirty buildings at the edge of your city, in the direction of the arrows.

Sources

Although traffic in your city can cause small amounts of air pollution, these buildings are the major contributors:

• Industrial buildings
• Coal Power Plants (this can be minimized with upgraded attachments)
• Oil Power Plants (this can be minimized with upgraded attachments)
• Garbage Dumps with the Garbage Incinerator attachment

Clean Up

As mentioned air pollution blows with the wind, so if you remove the source buildings most of it will go away. However there are ways to remove it faster or combat it if you cannot remove the source buildings.

• Trees
• Nature Parks
