Air pollution occurs when toxic gases and particles are discharged into the air. In the 20th century air pollution has become a serious problem in most of the world's countries. This is mostly due to the rapid growth of industry throughout the world. This has done extensive damage to the environment, the atmosphere and the health of people throughout the world. The heavy use of industry has also contributed largely to air pollution. Industrial processes emit a vast gamut of pollutants into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide are discharged by industry. Some airborne industrial wastes, such as sulfur dioxide emissions can react with water vapor and lower its pH and result in acid rain. Air pollution has done tremendous damage throughout the world. It has made a vast impact on the people, the environment and the atmosphere. Pollution has caused serious health problems for people. The particulates have been shown to worsen respiratory conditions such as asthma. There is speculation among scientists that they are the cause of respiratory and cardiac diseases inflicted b

composed of three atoms of oxygen. Ozone occurs both in the Earth's upper atmosphere and at ground level. Ozone can be good or bad,depending on where it is found. Ozone can affect health in many ways.

There is also Ground pollution where industrial chemicals have seeped into the ground and contaminated drinking-water supplies. Some of more than 70 synthetic organic chemicals have been found in trace amounts. At high levels, water-soluble inorganic chemicals-including acids,salts,and compounds of toxic metals such as mercury and lead-can also make drinking water unfit to drink. Excessive nitrates in drinking water can reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and even cause stillbirths. Ozone can irritate the respiratory system which can cause you to start coughing,feel an irritation in your throat, and/or experience an uncomfortable comfortable sensation in your chest. These symptoms can last for a few hours after ozone exposure and may even become painful.
