A Comprehensive Study on Impacts of Air Pollution on Environment and Human Health

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges for our society is air pollution because it is not only impacting our climate, but it affects the environment as well as human health badly. There are various pollutants present in the air nowadays that are the main reasons for disease in human beings. One of the major pollutants is Particulate Matter (PM), which is particles of very small diameter and variable, impale the respiratory system through breath, causing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, dysfunction of the central and reproductive nervous system, and cancer. Although the ozone layer in the troposphere plays an important and protective role against irradiation of ultraviolet, it is dangerous when in extreme concentrations near the level of the ground, also impacting the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Lastly, changes in climate resulting from environmental pollution impact the distribution of various infectious diseases, like natural disasters. The best way to overcome these issues is through awareness in public integrated with an approach multidisciplinary by scientific experts; organizations of international and national levels must study the emergence of this problem and provide sustainable solutions. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the impacts of air pollution on human health and the environment. Also, we are discussing the role of artificial intelligence to overcome these problems.
