Understanding Air Pollution: Common Pollutants and Their Effects

Air pollution, a critical environmental issue, includes harmful substances like ozone, particle matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. Ground-level ozone and particle pollution are the leading causes of health problems, particularly affecting those with respiratory conditions. Symptoms can include burning eyes, coughing, and chest tightness. Transportation, coal plants, and wildfires are major contributors. Efforts to reduce pollution include carpooling, walking, and cleaning up industrial emissions. Awareness and action are vital for improving air quality and health.
