Abstract

The Sangam literature is proof that the Tamil poets were aware of the nature of the wind. The sweetness and tenderness of the breeze may impress the hearts of the witnesses. The Tamils ??marked the wind from every direction with each name. It is seen that the wind and summer are blowing fast and the former is a blizzard and the latter is very hot. All the charm of the tenderness is the breeze, the energy and the swiftness of the blow. The winds are explained by the sound of the wind or the whistling of the tree's leaves. Because the anthropogenic man recognized the importance of the air and maintained the airspace clean, there were no significant impacts on humans and other organisms. But, humans, animals, and plants today suffer from many conditions. We, as human beings, recognize the importance of the air, and we have to protect the atmosphere from pollution, especially in situations where man is unable to breathe.
