    Definition and Causes
    Definition Causes Factors
    Air pollution refers to the The primary sources of air Factors such as population
    contamination of the pollution include industrial growth, urbanization,
    atmosphere with substances activities, transportation, economic development, and
    that can be harmful to power generation, technological advancements
    living organisms, including agriculture, and household have all played a role in the
    humans, animals, and activities. Burning of fossil increasing levels of air
    plants. These substances fuels, vehicle emissions, pollution globally.
    can come from both natural agricultural practices, and Understanding these root
    and human-made sources. waste management are causes is crucial in
    among the leading developing effective
    contributors to air pollution mitigation strategies.

    Environmental Impact
    Climate Change Ecosystem Degradation Visibility and Aesthetics

    Air pollution, particularly the Air pollutants can also have a


    release of greenhouse gases, is detrimental effect on Air pollution can also reduce
    a significant contributor to ecosystems, leading to the visibility and degrade the
    climate change. The warming deterioration of air, water, and aesthetic appeal of natural and
    of the planet, melting of soil quality. This can urban landscapes. The
    glaciers, and changes in negatively impact plant and presence of smog, haze, and
    weather patterns can all be animal life, disrupt food particulate matter can obscure

    Health Consequences
    Respiratory Problems 1
    Air pollution can cause a wide range
    of respiratory issues, including asthma,
    bronchitis, and lung cancer. The 2 Cardiovascular Diseases
    inhalation of particulate matter and Studies have shown that exposure to
    harmful gases can irritate and inflame air pollution can increase the risk of
    the lungs, leading to respiratory cardiovascular diseases, such as heart
    distress and long-term health attacks and strokes. The pollutants in
    problems. the air can contribute to the
    development of plaque buildup in the
    arteries, leading to restricted blood
    flow and increased risk of

    Emerging research suggests that air
    pollution may also have negative
    effects on the nervous system,
    potentially contributing to the
    development of cognitive impairment,

    Mitigation Strategies

    1 Transitioning to Renewable 2 Improving Transportation Systems


    Energy
    Reducing reliance on fossil fuels and Promoting public transportation,
    transitioning to renewable energy sources, encouraging the use of electric vehicles,
    such as solar, wind, and hydropower, can and implementing stricter emissions
    significantly decrease air pollution by standards for vehicles can help reduce air
    lowering emissions from power generation. pollution from the transportation sector.

    3 Implementing Industrial 4 Encouraging Reforestation


    Regulations
    Planting more trees and restoring natural
    Enforcing stricter regulations on industrial habitats can help absorb and filter air
    activities, such as setting emission limits pollutants, while also providing other
    and mandating the use of pollution control environmental benefits, such as carbon
    technologies, can help mitigate air pollution sequestration and habitat restoration.
