Exposure to poor air quality can cause a range of health problems:
1. Respiratory Diseases: Conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are closely linked to air pollution. 2. Cardiovascular Diseases: Long-term exposure to air pollutants can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and hypertension. 3. Cancer: Certain air pollutants, such as benzene and formaldehyde, are carcinogenic and can increase the risk of lung cancer. 4. Developmental Issues: In children, exposure to pollutants can lead to developmental delays and reduced lung growth.
