Air Pollution and Health

The impact of air pollution on human health is a growing concern, as research is uncovering a growing number of links between a number of serious diseases among different age groups and air pollution. A person can survive for days without water, even
a month without food, and only a few minutes without air. Breathing is a basic function of the body. The process of breathing is quite complex, and the body regulates it automatically. Breathing is the delivery of oxygen to all cells of the body and the
removal of carbon dioxide from them. The air we breathe is very important to our body.
