There are so many dangers that can threaten life because of air pollution. The first is the health effects that affect the lungs and respiratory tract. Both impacts agriculture which can cause disease in several types of crops.
Power plants
The final cause of pollution in the air is the power plants created by humans. Until now, there are still too many power plants that are not environmentally friendly. For example, power plants that use steam power, where burning coal is a source of pollution.
The rise of industrial activities
Industries in the form of factories which are human activities are the biggest contributor to pollution. Waste released by factories is the main cause. This waste can be in the form of gas in air, liquid, and solid.
Active volcano
If factories are a problem with human activities, there are also natural activities that contribute to air pollution, namely volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions carry material which is volcanic ash and ash.
Garbage
A landfill where human waste is collected in one landfill. Decomposing garbage emits methane gas which weighs tens of times more than the garbage itself. The breakdown of bacteria will produce methane gas, carbon dioxide, and environmental hazards.
Forest fires
Most of the air pollution arises from burning forests. The fire that devours the forest will produce smoke and fog containing the highest carbon content. For example, just carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide. The health risk caused by wildfires is lung cancer.
