Air pollution has far-reaching impacts on the environment and human health. It can aggravate existing respiratory illnesses, contribute to the formation of smog and reduced air quality, negatively affect the productivity of agricultural crops, and even cause an increase in extreme weather conditions. In some cases, air pollution is associated with climate change and global warming, with the burning of fossil fuels leading to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, air pollution releases harmful chemicals into the environment, which can lead to reduced soil quality, impacting the food chain and leading to potential health risks for humans.
