Sources
These buildings are the major contributors of air pollution:
- 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
- Regional air pollution level - this is caused by air pollution that has exited cities in the region.
Clean Up
As mentioned air pollution flows with the wind, 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. If the air pollution seems to randomly appear from an unpolluted part of the city, it is because the air pollution in the region has accumulated to a high level. To combat this use one of these two methods.
- Trees
- Nature Parks
