Long-term health effects from air pollution include heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases

Short-term air pollution can aggravate the medical conditions of individuals with asthma and emphysema.

I believe that some long term effects from air pollution, are heart disease, lung cancer. Air pollution can cause long-term damage to people's nerves, brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs. I'm not sure what the short term effects are. Hope this helps =)
