Air pollution results from high concentrations of chemicals and particulate matter that pose a threat to human health, ecosystems, and manmade materials. Pollutants can be solid particles, liquids, or gases and are produced by human sources along with natural sources. Pollution from natural sources tend to become diluted and dispersed without causing major harm, whereas pollutants resulting from human sources tend to be more localized and a more serious problem. Scientists categorize air contaminants

Unfortunately, this was not the case and many of the plants grandfathered in are the
premature deaths caused each year due to air pollution in cities across the world” (Air Pollution). Every day the average person inhales about 20,000 liters of contaminated air, Such as carbon dioxide and smog (Brimblecombe). These pollutants are released throughout the world’s atmosphere in concentrations that are high enough to cause health problems, which leads to one of the main problems today, and that would be air pollution (Socha). The main cause of air pollution is all of the toxic chemicals

In my essay I will address what air pollution is and how it starts, I will talk about which cities have high pollution verses cities
which carried yet unknown environmentally hazardous air pollutants from two factories in the city. This tragedy made the United States government aware that they needed to be concern about air pollution, and before the United Sates Congress passed the Clean Air Act, as we know it today, there were two previous acts that began to shape what now is a truly comprehensible Clean Air Act.

Air pollution is one of the most dangerous substances to our environment, causing damage to the atmosphere, human and animal health, and air quality. Recently, there has been an increase in death rates resulting from diseases caused by air pollution, such as asthma, respiratory problems, and lung cancer (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences). As a result, air pollution not only affects human life but also damages our ecological system as a whole, including plants and animals. Air pollution
The detriment of air pollution is that it has far reaching consequences and most often is misplaced long distances by the wind. Polluted air shows up in places where you wouldn’t expect or desire it, like in the most remote parts of beloved national parks or barren wilderness. This can be attributed to higher power plant pipes that transport pollutants above a local community contribute to carrying pollutants sometimes thousands of miles away by wind. This can be particularly true in downwind states
Research shows that every year 2.4 to 4.6 million people die from causes directly related to air pollution. Many of these fatalities are linked to indoor air pollution as well.

Polluted air in general contains one or more hazardous substances that create hazards for the health of living individuals. Pollutants within the air are measured in terms of particulate matter (PM); or the number of particles of potentially hazardous substances as a percentage of air. Outdoor air pollutants can create acid rain, which affects the environment and depletion of the ozone layer by chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), which increases the risk of skin cancer and cataracts in human individuals
suffered from pollution issues, such as air and water pollution, for a long time. On Thursday Nov. 5th, 2013, the China’s National Meteorological Center renewed a yellow alert for heavy smog and fog continued to hit many parts of east and north China, causing traffic disruptions and school closures (Mu 2013).

Air Pollution and its Potential Solutions Solving this problem requires a three-pronged approach, as different solutions are required to eliminate, or at least decrease, air pollution from electricity generation, transportation, and industry. All solutions demand cooperation between the government and the public—no solution will succeed without the dedicated effort of the population as a whole . The Clean Air Act, which was passed in 2008 but only went into effect in 2011 , is the government’s main
