EMPATHY / HUMAN / AIR POLLUTION

Air pollution, a mixture of solid particles, liquid droplets, and gases, is a severe global health crisis responsible for approximately 7-8 million premature deaths annually. It causes strokes, heart diseases, lung cancer, and respiratory infections, with 99% of the world’s population breathing unhealthy air. Primarily caused by burning fossil fuels, industry, and agriculture, it also exacerbates climate change and damages ecosystems.
