The main sources of air pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial discharges, burning of fossil fuels, and agricultural activities. Common pollutants include particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants can cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, aggravate asthma, reduce lung function, and contribute to premature death. Long-term exposure can lead to chronic health issues and adversely affect vulnerable populations like children and the elderly.
