Pollution Effects on Health
Air pollution has profound effects on health, ranging from short-term irritation and respiratory symptoms to long-term cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, including lung cancer. Vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions are particularly at risk.
Air Pollution
Air pollution reflects the bad quality of the air. The pollution of polluted particles in the air is measured by the Air Quality Index (AQI). Any chemical, biological or physical change that contaminates the air leads to air pollution. Healthy air has an optimum concentration of atmospheric gases if that increase or decreases that leads to air pollution which indirectly causes global warming.
