air pollution is turing out to be a major disease causing susbtance in humans and animals.The amount of toxic in teh air we breathe is abnormally high and this lead s to ashtma,lung infection,breathing problems,the pollutants settle in the plants ,vegetables and eatables and hence when we consume these chemicals it causes cancer,stomach infection,stone formation in kidney.There is eye irritation and also suffactinon while breathing

Air pollution will give us lung cancer and respiratory problems, including allergies. It will also kill some vegetation and animal life. At the very least, it will affect their health and make them sick too. And whoever eats the sick plants and animals will get sick as well. It's a chain reaction. Plus, air pollution will give rise to things like acid rain.

Air pollution may affect the normal functionality of the human system which may affect almost all major organs and even lead to death. Respiratory system,digestive system,cardiovascular system are the few which suffers the most and leads to diseases like asthma, lung cancer, heart failure.....

Plants and animals are also prey to the pollution. Sometimes it leads to acid rains too...

Health effects of light pollution may include: increased headache incidence, worker fatigue, medically defined stress, decrease in sexual function and increase in anxiety, breast cancer,high blood pressure. Light pollution can confuse animal navigation, alter competitive interactions, change predator-prey relations, and influence animal physiology.

Air pollution causes various harmful effects on plants and animals. Affects breathing, skin conditions, hair and fur becomes very unhealthy.
In the environment ,it has harmful affects on global warming, destroys the ozone which in turn harms all living creatures.

Yes Pollution in any form is dangerous for all living things. Air pollution causes a lot of respiratory problems and due to which the life span is decreased there are a lot of other side effects due to this pollution like heart attacks, strokes etc.,
If we cannot reduce the pollution we can at least try not to increase this pollution.

Air pollution is responsible for major health effects. ... Many different chemicals in the air affect the human body in negative ways.

Both of these pots of clover plants have been growing for 30 days, but one looks healthier than the other! The clover plants in the top picture (A) were given normal water. The clover plants in the lower picture (B) were given acidic water (pH=2.0) for the latter 20 days. When air pollution causes acid rain, plants that rely on rain water to live and grow are endangered.

Some air pollutants harm plants and animals directly. Other pollutants harm the habitat, food or water that plants and animals need to survive. Read on to learn more about how air pollutants harm plants and animals.

Acid rain harms living things
When acidic air pollutants combine with water droplets in clouds, the water becomes acidic. When those droplets fall to the ground, the acid rain can damage the environment. Damage due to acid rain kills trees and harms animals, fish, and other wildlife. Acid rain can destroy the leaves of plants like in the picture at the left. When acid rain soaks into the ground, it can make the soil an unfit habitat for many living things. Acid rain also changes the chemistry of the water in lakes and streams, harming fish and other aquatic life.

The thinning ozone layer harms living things
Air pollutants called chlorofluorocarbons(or CFCs) have destroyed parts of the ozone layer.The ozone layer, located in the stratosphere layer of Earth's atmosphere, shields our planet from the Sun's ultraviolet radiation. The areas of thin ozone are called ozone holes. Ultraviolet radiation causes skin cancer and damages plants and wildlife.

Tropospheric ozone harms living things
Ozone molecules wind up near the Earth's surface as a part of air pollution. Ozone molecules near the ground damages lung tissues of animals and prevent plant respiration by blocking the openings in leaves where respiration occurs. Without respiration, a plant is not able to photosynthesize at a high rate and so it will not be able to grow.

Global warming harms living things
Our planet is currently warming much more rapidly than expected because additional greenhouse gasses are being released into the atmosphere from air pollution. When fuels are burned, some of the pollutants released are greenhouses gasses. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and use the carbon to grow larger. However, the amount of carbon dioxide released by burning fuels is much more than plants can convert.

Global warming is causing changes to the places where plants and animals live around the world. For example:

Near the poles, ice and frozen ground are melting. This causes changes in the habitat and resources for plants and animals living there.
Ocean warming, rising sea levels, runoff, and coral diseases are causing change in shallow marine environments such as coral reefs.
Global warming is causing less rain to fall in the middle of continents. This makes these areas very dry and limits water resources for plants and animals.

Air pollution has dangerous impact on human beings.The pollution emitted by the vehicles,smokes from industries etc cause several types of allergies and diseases.People suffer from respiratory diseases,headache and irritation in the eye.

Headache incidence, worker fatigue, medically defined stress and increase in anxiety, breast cancer,high blood pressure and many such problems.

increased headache incidence, worker fatigue, decrease in sexual function and increase in anxiety, breast cancer,high blood pressure

lung cancer and respiratory problems, including allergies. It will also kill some vegetation and animal life. At the very least, it will very much affect their health and make them sick too.
