Human activity is responsible for most of the world’s air pollution, both indoors and outdoors. Everything from smoking cigarettes to burning fossil fuels tarnishes the air you breathe and causes health problems as minor as a headache to as harmful as respiratory, lung and heart disease.
⏭️Types of Pollutants

Man is at least partially at fault for most of the world’s major air pollutants. Carbon dioxide is one of the most highly prevalent, comes from the combustion or burning of fossil fuels and other organic materials. Nitrogen oxide and dioxide, while both natural components of the Earth's atmosphere, occur in greater amounts due to human actions and are the cause of smog and acid rain.

Pollutants also include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), were widely used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants. These chemicals damage the ozone layer, which is why the Environmental Protection Agency banned them in 1978.
Particulates, microscopic particles of soot, pose yet another common hazard. Smoke from burning coal and diesel fuel has been one major source of particulate emissions. In addition to being harmful to breathe, particulates form a dark film on buildings and other structures
