Air Pollution

When I think of air pollution I in vision transportation and, machinery's that release a chemical into the air and can become harmful to our society, but I have researched and found out that there are several types of air pollution that can be as harmful. Air pollution in cities around the world causes roughly 2 million premature deaths each year (Fraser, 2006). The WHO program known as World Health Organization has made awareness to society that people health is at risk from high pollution in the environment.

The Who program suggest to find a way to cut air pollution in half to protect people from heart disease, respiratory and lung cancer by putting in place requirements to help decrease the toxins in the air. By doing that, WHO says reducing theses harmful particulate matter levels can reduce death from air pollution by 15 percent per year (Fraser, 2006).

In the end I feel like air pollution has a big impact on the deadly diseases we encounter. I think Illness is on rise with cancer and respiratory breathing because the air is full of poisonous chemicals and toxins.  As a society we need to continue to educate our country and people on taking proper precautions to help decrease air pollution for future generations.
