Answer:

There's nothing quite like opening the door and breathing fresh, clean, air—but how clean is the air you're breathing right now? Unless you're a scientist with a chemistry lab at your fingertips, there's no real way of knowing. The gases you're sucking up through your nose could be slowly killing you: according to the World Health Organization, around 4.2 million people die prematurely from the effects of polluted, outdoor air every single year, while a further 3.8 million die due to dirty indoor air. Air pollution is a huge problem—and not just for people living in smog-choked cities: through such things as global warming and damage to the ozone layer, it has the potential to affect us all. So what exactly causes this major environmental issue and what can we do about it?

Anything people do that involves burning things (combustion), using household or industrial chemicals (substances that cause chemical reactions and may release toxic gases in the process), or producing large amounts of dust has the potential to cause air pollution. Step back a century or two and the cause of most air pollution was easy to identify: filthy factories and power plants, driving the Industrial Revolution. Today, better technology, tighter air pollution laws, greater environmental awareness, and determined campaigns mounted by local communities make it far harder—though by no means impossible—for factories to pollute in post-industrial nations such as the United States and Britain. But this type of "old-school" pollution remains a major problem in rapidly industrializing nations such as China and India.

Ways to Reduce Air Pollution

Riding a bike or walking instead of driving.

Taking a bus or carpooling.

Buying a car that has greater fuel efficiency.

Turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use.

Using energy efficient light bulbs and appliances.

Buying fewer things that are manufactured using fossil fuels.
