Question

What are some causes and effects of air pollution? Why should we care?

Answer 1

(1). Vehicle emissions, fuel oils and natural gas to heat homes, by products of manufacturing and power generation, particularly coal fueled power plants, and fumes from chemical production are the primary sources of human-made air pollution.

(2). Long-term health issues are effects from air pollution, and they include heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory diseases such as emphysema. Air pollution can also cause long-term damage to other organs within our body which leads to coughing and itchy eyes, just a few issues which can lead to hospitalization or premature death.

(3). We should care because poor air quality plays a big role in millions of deaths throughout this world, and if we were breathing clean air it can lessen the possibility of diseases throughout this world…lower levels of air pollution are better for heart and respiratory health both long-term and short-term.
