hey friends do you like what we see here air pollution consists of toxic chemicals and other harmful particles that have an adverse effect on our health and ecosystem but what causes air pollution in today's episode let us enter the filthy territory of air pollution and explore its legal consequences on our lives environment and the world zoom in a tiny percentage of air pollution comes from natural sources like volcano eruption dust storms allergens and wildfires and we don't have any control

over pollution caused by any of these natural sources but what we have control over is human activities that are responsible for most of the world's air pollution yes my friends right from smoking cigarettes to burning fossil fuels to driving cars and releasing toxic smoke from factories tarnish the air you breathe and cause severe health and environmental problems for example when we burn fossil fuels like decomposed plants and organisms they discharge carbon dioxide and other

greenhouse gases into the air these gases in turn trap heat coming from the sun in the earth's atmosphere resulting in a rise in global temperature and is a major factor behind global warming this rise in temperature sets a chain of events and intensifies air pollution by increasing the level of smog in the environment smog is a type of air pollution that reduces visibility and makes the air hard to breathe it engulfs the surrounding in a brown and grey haze

which is common in industrial areas and remains a familiar sight in cities like los angeles california and delhi in india not only that but air pollution can also make people very sick apart from breathing issues it can cause diseases such as lung cancer respiratory infections and heart disease you won't believe it but according to the who nearly 2.4 million people die each year from air pollution so my dear friends it is our duty and responsibility to take the matter in our hands to save

our planet and future generation but the most crucial question is how can we help to reduce the ever-increasing air pollution well we can do that by spreading awareness amongst our friends and family about the consequences of burning fossil fuel and urge them to reduce its usage as much as possible even a small step such as switching off the lights tv or any electrical device when not in use can help in reducing the level of air pollution also one of the easiest ways to control air
