this

and societies can take steps to mitigate these potential problems. Air pollution is one of the primary matters that has emerged

could lead to other disastrous events

such

as acid rain thereby contaminating the soil. Another problem is that air pollution has a severe impact on humans and can lead to respiratory illnesses
