What are Air Pollution Effects?
Air pollution effects refer to the health impacts caused by inhaling airborne pollutants. These can range from immediate irritation to long-term chronic conditions. Common pollutants include particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), ground-level ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide.
In regions like the Middle East, dust storms and high temperatures can exacerbate air quality issues, making residents more susceptible to pollution-related symptoms.
