Outdoor Air Pollution: It’s Everywhere!
When various kinds of outdoor air pollution are mixed together, it can be dangerous when inhaled. The following are common sources of outdoor air pollution:
Airborne chemicals (from factories and power plants)
Traffic exhaust (from cars, buses, trucks, trains, airplanes, etc)
Construction dust
Coal mine fumes
Ground level ozone gas (smog)
Most of the time, air pollution is worse in cities when the air is stagnant, the sun is bright, and the temperature is high. Thus allowing the climate to adjust and impact the air quality even more!
