Air pollution consists of various harmful pollutants such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide. These pollutants can penetrate the respiratory system, leading to conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term exposure is also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and lung cancer.
