Air pollution is defined as the presence of pollutants in the atmosphere that are
harmful to human and other living beings' health, as well as to the environment and
materials. It is made up of chemicals or particles in the atmosphere. Pollutants in the air
come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Gases, solid particles, and liquid droplets are all
possibilities.
Pollution reaches the atmosphere through a variety of routes. People are
responsible for the majority of air pollution, which comes from factories, cars, planes, and
aerosol cans. Anthropogenic sources are pollution sources that are created by humans.
Some forms of air pollution, such as smoke from wildfires or volcanic ash, are
unavoidable. These are referred to as "natural sources."
Long-term health implications of air pollution include heart disease, lung cancer,
and respiratory illnesses. Air pollution can harm people's nerves, brains, kidneys, livers,
and other organs in the long run. Some scientists believe that contaminants in the air
cause birth abnormalities. Every year, almost 2.5 million people die as a result of the
consequences of outdoor or indoor air pollution around the world.
Air pollution has the potential to harm entire ecosystems, just as it does people,
animals, and plants. Particles of air pollution eventually fall to Earth. The surface of bodies
of water and soil can be directly contaminated by air pollution. This can harm or reduce
the yield of crops. It has the potential to destroy young trees and other plants.

Air pollution can be reduced by anyone. Every day, millions of people make small
adjustments to their life to achieve this goal. Simple energy-saving choices could help to
avert the worst effects of global warming. Reduce climate change by turning off lights and
other gadgets when not in use, choosing public transportation instead of driving, and
riding a bike instead of driving carbon-emitting automobiles.
