CAUSE AND EFFECT OF AIR POLUTION

This air pollution is a condition that describes the dirty air again because it is polluted by
various kinds of pollutants. The occurrence of air pollution is nothing but the impact of human
behavior itself. Pollutants that pollute the air are mostly in the form of smoke which contains many
diseases and also other dangerous things. So that's why it's called air pollution.

Causes of air pollution

We already know briefly or general description of what is air pollution. Furthermore, it is also
explained about what might cause this air pollution. there are lots of things that can cause air
pollution. The cause of this air pollution can also be caused by daily activities or activities. Some
things that cause air pollution include:

 Vehicle emission
Vehicle smoke is the easiest cause of pollution for us to meet. This is because the vehicle is a
means of transportation by which anyone has it, both four-wheeled vehicles or cars or
motorized vehicles. Vehicle smoke is one of the contributing factors to very large air
pollution. Vehicle smoke that is produced every day by billions of vehicles every second will
greatly cause air pollution.
 Factory Smoke
Factory smoke that is produced and is usually disposed of through the chimney, when it rises
to the surface it will be very dangerous and also a contributor of harmful gases. As we all
know that the smoke that is discharged is a form of factory waste that has no function at all.
Therefore, the presence of factory waste in the form of gas and disposed of in the air is a
trigger factor for air pollution.
 cigarette smoke
Lots of people or men in Indonesia who smoke without having the risk that will occur in the
future. AlthoughAlthough the government and even cigarette producers themselves call on
people not to smoke, still people in Indonesia always love the culture of smoking. Cigarette
smoke caused by smoked cigarettes contains a lot of toxic gases. Just imagine if millions of
people produce cigarette smoke every day, then this would certainly be very easy to be the
cause of air pollution.
 Forest fires
The natural disasters that cause air pollution are forest fires. The burning forest will produce
smoke which is scattered everywhere. This smoke is the source of air pollution. That is why
many problems arise, especially lung disease in the event of a forest fire. some of the
problems that arise when forest fires occur are the appearance of lung diseases and skin
diseases.

Effect of Air Pollution

Air pollution, which is a process of pollution in the air, of course has various effects that we can feel.
The impact caused by air pollution is of course a negative impact. The main impact of air pollution is
health problems. The following are the effects of air pollution:

 Occurrence of respiratory disorders such as lung disorders.


 Disrupting skin health, so the skin will look dull, degenerate elasticity, premature aging,
premature crackers, black spots, and skin cancer.
 Causes recurrence of asthma.
 Coughing up.
 Disruptive views (eg smoke from forest fires in Sumatra).
 Triggers acid rain.
 Causing global warming.
 Disrupting plant growth.

That is the conclusion of several things that are the cause and effect of air pollution. If these things
are done continuously and there is no decisive action or will definitely cause even more dire impacts.
Not only air pollution in small or medium levels, but to the extent of threatening the safety of the
Earth and the living creatures in it.
