What are the effects of air pollution?

              Clean air is the most vital aspect of life. If the level of oxygen decreases in the air, there will be disastrous after-effects in the biosphere. Polluted air can bring about diseases and even death to human and other life forms.

              Air pollution can cause health problems including burning eyes and nose, itchy irritated throat, and breathing problems. Some chemicals found in polluted air can cause cancer, birth defects, brain and nerve damage, and long-term injury to the lungs and breathing passages in certain circumstances.

              Apart from the personal injury to individuals, air pollution can also damage the environment and property. Trees, lakes and animals have been harmed by air pollution. Air pollution can damage buildings, monuments, statues, and other structures. Sometimes, air pollution results in a haze in the atmosphere, which reduces visibility so that drivers and pilots cannot see properly.

              In the blind rush in the name of development, if Man does not take proper care of the environment, his survival would be at high risk.
