About Air Pollution

Air Pollution is the presence of toxic chemicals or compounds (including those of biological origin) in the air, at levels that pose a health risk. In a more broad way to explain it, Air Pollution means the presence of chemicals or compounds which are usually not present and which lower the quality in the air or cause detrimental changes to the quality of life (such as the damaging of the ozone layer or causing global warming). Some causes of Air Pollution are burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas, and gasoline which produces electricity and powers our devices. Dust and dirt is also another cause of air pollution because agricultural and construction industries lift up dirt and dust that goes airborne in the atmosphere and then causes air pollution.
