How can the air quality affect our planet? Technology and scientists have created many problems for our air. There are two different major issues that affect air pollution, which are global warming and human health.
Global warming has several effects on the environment. First, melting glaciers in the Antarctic could cause serious problems to the Earth. For example, the coasts will flood if the glaciers continue to melt. Also, the sea levels will rise as well. Second, habitats will be disrupted. For instance, plant spices will be in jeopardy of extinction. Moreover, animal spices will be in the same situation. Third, early snowmelt is going to lead to severe droughts. In the condition of severe droughts, there would be massive crop failures. Eventually it can damage ecosystem.
The second serious effect of air pollution is human health, and there are three different ways to discuss. Firstly, air pollution can harm human by creating acute disease when exposure to the pollutant ends. These effects are provisional and cause sicknesses such as eye irritation, headaches, and nausea. In addition, they cause disturbance to the nose, throat, and upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Secondly, chronic effects are usually not instantaneous and tend not to be provisional when exposure to the pollutant ends. Some chronic health effects include decreased lung capacity and lung cancer resulting from long-term exposure to toxic air pollutants. Additionally, chronic effects can lead groups of individuals to death. For example, in the great “Smog Disaster” in London in 1954, four thousand people died in a few days due to the high concentrations of pollution (Natural Resources Defense Council). Lastly, high-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more liable to air pollution. To illustrate, the number of high-risk people visiting hospital is increasing every year. In fact large numbers of people belongs to high-risk group are suffering from some diseases. In summary, the acute and chronic effects of air pollution, as well as the high-risk groups has have resulted in terrible health issues.
Air pollution is one of the biggest problems that face the Earth today, and that makes huge impact on the environment. In particular, there are several kind effects of air pollution such as damage to human health and, global warming. We should find a solution to this problem to keep our air clear, and we can live for long time.
I am fully agree with this. Air pollution is big problem in our planet. If we can't stop it, it will be fatal. In fact, car's carbon dioxide is one of the dangerous chemical elements for people and air. In my opinion as an alternative solution of this problem is changing gasoline engines in ours cars to electric engines. Nowadays it is possible because every day i see one kind of electric car, its hybrid car. Also, as you know oil sources is not permanent and we see that price of gasoline is growing every month. we need to use another energy sources like a solar energy.

I am sorry that this article is a little bit difficult for me because I can't understand some of the words that about science. Anyway, it is true that air pollution is a most serious issue in this world, and it wil hurt human's health. So by reducing air pollution levels, we can help countries reduce the global burden of disease from respiratory infections,heart disease, and lung cancer.I n order to make people healthy,I think the government of every country should try their best to reduce the air pollution.
