Introduction

Air pollution is a pressing environmental issue that results from the presence of
harmful substances in the Earth's atmosphere. These pollutants, which can be
both natural and human-made, have adverse effects on air quality and,
consequently, on the health of living organisms. The primary sources of air
pollution include industrial activities, vehicle emissions, agricultural practices, and
the combustion of fossil fuels. The most common air pollutants include
particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon
monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These
pollutants can have detrimental impacts on human health, causing respiratory
problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other serious health issues. Governments,
industries, and individuals all play crucial roles in mitigating the sources of air
pollution and promoting cleaner, more sustainable practices.
