    Impact Of Air Pollution On Human Health: Its aftermath and solutions

    The health effects of air pollution imperil human lives. This fact is well-
    documented (Eddie Bernice Johnson). Pollution is a much broader term
    than we can think of. It is not just the heavy smog drifting over cities and
    industrial plants nor the result of the increasing number of vehicles or
    factories. It may actually even vary from small units of cigarettes to natural
    sources such as volcanic activities. In addition, nine out of ten people
    worldwide live in places where air contamination surpasses safe limits. The
    majority of the population does not realize the threat it poses to human
    health which is more than just mere allergies, diseases, damages to other
    living creatures or crops. Therefore, I believe that though there are
    numerous ways we can reduce air pollution, the first one should be raising
    awareness using campaigns or by simply letting communities know about
    this issue, its danger and how it can be prevented and reduced.

    Being one of the fourth largest threats to human health worldwide,


    air pollution creates an imbalance in the natural gases that make up our
    Earth’s atmosphere, therefore slowly boosting in the reduction of the
    Ozone layer and increasing the rate of global warming. Furthermore,
    secondary air pollutants such as, nitrogen oxides that react under
    conditions of high temperatures, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and all
    other poisonous gases, be them odorless or not, colorless or not, when
    combined with one another in the presence of sunlight or water, forms
    poisonous gases or acid rain. These are not less dangerous than the
    primary air pollutants as either of them can generate fatigue, headaches,
    drowsiness and in extreme cases, death.
