pollution reach around the globe, wreak havoc on people, plants, andanimals. Changes to air and water
quality create dangerous and even deadly situations.Here are just a few of the dangers of air

and lung disease that could eventually prove fatal.Those with certain medical conditions may find that
high levels of air pollutionaggravate their symptoms. People with asthma, allergies, and diseases
resulting in breathing problems are usually the worst affected.

Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as their “breathing” process.

When pollutants are present in the air, plant life will breathe these particles in, as well.This causes
serious problems within the cells of the plant, resulting in poor growth and possibly death or the
plant.The residue from the chemicals and pollution in the air deposits itself onto plants, preventing
necessary photosynthesis from taking place. Without the ability toreceive proper sunlight, plants quickly
discolor and die.The moisture in the atmosphere picks up the dangerous chemicals and pollutants in the
air, creating even further problems for the environment. The resultingacid rain can find its way into
ground water and other waterways, creating a dangeroussituation for plants, animals and humans
alike.Air pollution contributes to water and soil pollution that can be disastrous forall living creatures.
