    Air pollution is caused by both natural and man-made sources releasing chemicals, particulate matter and biological materials into the atmosphere. Major sources include industries, automobiles, power plants, and domestic fuels. Air pollution leads to over 2 million deaths per year from issues like difficulty breathing and lung problems. It also causes acid rain, global warming by trapping greenhouse gases, skin and lung cancer, and damage to vegetation and animal health. Governments establish air quality standards and take steps to control pollution through policies for industries and promoting alternatives like public transportation to improve air quality.
