AIR QUALITY 

Particles of solids, liquids, and some gases in the air are what produce air pollution. Vehicle tailpipes, factory emissions, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanic ash, and smoke from wildfires are all potential sources of these gases and particles. 

What we term "aerosols" are the liquids and solids particles that float about in the air. Aerosols (solid and liquid particles) and some gases contribute to air pollution. It's crucial to maintain tabs on these gases and particles since they may be harmful to the environment and to human health. Air pollution may be caused by a buildup of some gases in the air. Ozone, for instance, is a significant contributor to air pollution in urban areas. Like carbon dioxide, ozone is a greenhouse gas with potential positive and negative effects on Earth's ecosystems. 

It's going to be different depending on precisely where on Earth you are. It is now generally known that pollution of the air contributes to global warming. Air pollution has been a problem ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the middle of the 18th century, says the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Electric power, automobile traffic, and industrial activities have traditionally produced large amounts of gas particles that linger in the atmosphere, the majority of which are carbon dioxide (CO2) and other heat-trapping gases. Carbon emissions not only cause global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, but also contribute significantly to air pollution. Combustion equipment in homes, automobiles, industries, and wildfires all contribute to air pollution. Significant public health concerns are associated with pollution from air pollutants, carbon dioxide ( co2, ozone, no2, and sulfur dioxide so2. 

The respiratory and other illnesses brought on by air pollution are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. There is a direct correlation between the health of the distant galaxy and its ecosystems. One of the primary causes of both atmospheric pollution production is the burning of fossil fuels. Accordingly, policies to reduce air pollution provide one win-win strategy for climate and security, since they reduce the burden of sickness caused by air pollution while simultaneously assisting to the near- & long-term reduction of greenhouse gases. Smog, which comprised of hazy layers of stagnant air and ozone air particles that linger over metropolitan areas, may be seen all year over highly polluted places like Los Angeles and Beijing, despite the fact that many of the effects of air pollution are not visible to the naked eye. According to the EPA, more than 850 million counties all throughout United States are failing to meet federal air quality guidelines (EPA). 

 Ground-level ozone forms when carbon and other hazardous chemicals combine in the presence of sunshine. The Environmental Protection Agency has shown that increased ground-level ozone levels are linked to impaired lung function and airway inflammation. Studies have connected exposure to surface ozone to a rise in the number of asthma. The gas and moisture droplets released into the air by a wide range of human activities are collectively referred to as "particulate matter" (such as the burning of wood, industrial processes, and diesel and gasoline vehicles). 

 The Environmental Protection Agency warns that breathing in particulate matter "may cause a variety of serious health problems, including premature death, the worsening of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases the development of chronic bronchitis, the exacerbation of asthma, and stunted growth in children's lungs." High ozone levels may increase the risk of respiratory problems, especially for those who are already susceptible, such as those with asthma, the elderly, the few who work outdoors, and children. Air pollution killed as many as 7 million population in 2012, according to a study issued by the World Medical Association in 2014. Myocardial heart disease accounted for over 80% of outdoor air pollution-related deaths. Ischemic heart disease accounts for 40% of all deaths. Probability of Having a Stroke: 40% 11% have COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 6% of those diagnosed with lung cancer Children with acute respiratory infections: 3% According to the World Health Organization, "cutting air pollution might save millions of lives,

" which prompts the statement that air pollution is "the world's biggest single environmental health concern."
