Air pollution is not just an environmental concern — it's a major public health crisis. Exposure to pollutants like PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and sulfur dioxide can lead to severe health complications. Respiratory diseases are among the most common effects, 

with polluted air causing or worsening conditions like asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and COPD. For children and the elderly, even short-term exposure can lead to breathing trouble or reduced lung function. Eye irritation is another frequent complaint, especially in cities with high smog levels. People report symptoms like red, itchy, or watery eyes, often triggered by ozone and dust particles. More dangerously, air pollution silently impacts the cardiovascular system. Tiny pollutants enter the bloodstream, increasing inflammation, blood pressure, and the risk of heart attacks or strokes. With air quality declining in many cities, it's crucial to raise awareness about these hidden dangers and push for cleaner, safer air.
