The most crucial resource for the sustenance of life is air. Unfortunately, rising air pollution has become a bigger problem globally. As industrial development has progressed, access to clean air has become a luxury, and it’s not just for us. Air pollution has a significant negative influence on flora and fauna living in distant ecosystems.

Air pollutants can travel great distances and are not concerned about territorial boundaries or ecologically sensitive areas. Harmful particles produced by power plants, autos, and mining sites can readily travel hundreds of miles from their source. Which pollutes the pristine natural areas. These compounds include a variety of gases as well as microscopic particles or particulates. These particles can harm human health as well as cause major environmental damage.

If we look into records provided by WHO. Every year, an estimated seven million people die as a result of air pollution around the world. Nine out of ten people breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants.
