Air pollution is a serious issue affecting both human health and the environment. It is mainly caused by the open burning of waste, emissions from factories and vehicles, the use of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities release harmful pollutants into the air, reducing its quality. The effects are significant, leading to respiratory diseases such as asthma and bronchitis in humans and animals. It also harms plant life and disrupts the natural balance of the environment.
To tackle this problem, the government should improve public transport, ban the open burning of waste and promote tree plantation. At the same time, individuals must act responsibly to help reduce pollution and protect the environment.
