The effects of air pollution are alarming. They are known to create several respiratory and
heart conditions along with Cancer, among other threats to the body. Several millions are known to
have died due to direct or indirect effects of Air pollution. Children in areas exposed to air
pollutants are said to commonly suffer from pneumonia and asthma.
Another direct effect is the immediate alterations that the world is witnessing due to Global
warming. With increased temperatures worldwide, increase in sea levels and melting of ice from
colder regions and icebergs, displacement and loss of habitat have already signalled an impending
disaster if actions for preservation and normalization aren't undertaken soon.
Harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides are released into the atmosphere during
the burning of fossil fuels. When it rains, the water droplets combine with these air pollutants,
becomes acidic and then falls on the ground in the form of acid rain. Acid rain can cause great
damage to human, animals and crops.
