Air Pollution
According to Lisa Wang, a grad student at the University of Colorado Boulder "Air Pollution is an ongoing problem in our community, and as the population increases, so does the pollution." And she is right. For thousands of years, humans have done nothing about air pollution, what makes you think that we will start now? When it comes to air pollution, even in small quantities, these are either fatal or pose serious health risks. Almost 200 are limited by regulation, with mercury, lead, dioxins, and benzene being among the most common. The EPA has listed benzene as a carcinogen, which can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and lungs in the short term, and long-term blood disorders Dioxins, which are most commonly found in food but can also be found in small quantities in the air, can damage the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, as well as reproductive functions, in the short term. Lead can damage children's brains and kidneys in large doses, and even small levels can impair their IQ and ability to learn.
