Environmental Challenges

Air pollution is a significant problem in many countries, particularly in emerging and developing countries. Factors such as industrial activity, transportation, and burning of fossil fuels contribute to air pollution.

Health Impacts of Air Pollution

Air pollution can have serious health consequences, including respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. According to the World Health Organization, air pollution kills an estimated 7 million people annually.
