    Air pollution is harmful to human health and the environment. It is caused by gases, particulates, and biological molecules in the atmosphere. Over a third of deaths from diseases like stroke, lung cancer, and heart disease are attributable to air pollution. Microscopic pollutants can penetrate deep into the lungs, heart, and brain, damaging these organs. Some ways to reduce air pollution include using public transportation, recycling and reusing products, avoiding plastic bags, and reducing activities like forest fires and smoking that contribute to air pollution.
