Atmospheric Pollution and Climate Change

Atmospheric pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in the air, such as smoke, chemicals, and greenhouse gases. These pollutants can come from vehicles, industries, and agriculture. Climate change, largely driven by increased levels of carbon dioxide and methane, results from this pollution. It leads to global warming, altering weather patterns, raising sea levels, and affecting ecosystems. Together, atmospheric pollution and climate change pose significant risks to human health, agriculture, and biodiversity, necessitating urgent action to reduce emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources.
