Air Pollution posing serious threat to health

                                   
If air pollution is not put into remission, it could pose many risks and dangers, both environmental and physiologically. The air pollution problem is also systematically causing the oceans to become more acidic. While this is not a problem right now, since many marine creatures use the acid in their photosynthesis actions, the far-reaching effects are not entirely known yet. We could also face crises with the depletion of the ozone, which is caused by air pollution. With a depleted ozone layer, we risk the global warming trend becoming even more volatile.

If the ozone layer is depleted enough, the sun will begin to burn the Earth, causing severe problems and death for all living things. While this is a worst case scenario at this point in time, it is still a potential risk associated with not creating a solution to the global warming problem and the air pollution dilemma in general.
The air pollution problem is at a different level in different parts of the world. While the most serious problems are located in and around major cities all over the world, small cities, rural areas, and even undeveloped areas can experience problems with air pollution. Both the natural and unnatural means of causing air pollution contribute to this problem, and different methods are needed in order to contain or clarify the bad air.
Cities that are the worst contaminated in the United States include Los Angeles and San Francisco, but many other cities, especially along the West Coast, suffer tremendously from the air pollution problem. Worldwide, cities such as Cairo (Egypt), Jakarta (Indonesia), Delhi (India), Kolkata (India), Tianjin (China), Chongqing (China), Kanpur (India), Lucknow (India), and Shenyang (China). Of course, the air pollution problem is not limited to the United States, India, China, and Egypt. The United Kingdom, Australia, most of the rest of Europe and Asia, and parts of Africa also suffer from the debilitating effects of air pollution.

The problem with air pollution is that it does not stay in one place; the wind currents push it all over the globe. Asia’s air pollution is most commonly noticed in the United States on the West Coast, for instance. Changing wind currents will affect different parts of the world in different ways and the rise in air pollution will change accordingly.
