Air pollution significantly affects our health and well-being on a global scale, causing deaths and health problems for a large part of the world's population. Diseases that result from breathing toxic air include lung disease, heart disease, stroke, asthma, and cancer. As Kate Galbraith states, “Dirty air can cause lung damage, heart disease, stroke and cancer” (2). The air we breathe in our lungs is full of chemicals such as carbon dioxide emissions, greenhouse gases and other chemicals. Carbon dioxide is the gas we exhale from our lungs and by breathing this gas into our lungs we shock our lungs. The diseases mentioned above often lead to deaths whose statistics are surprising. According to the World Health Organization, “air pollution caused the deaths of seven million people worldwide in 2012” (1). This statistic reinforces the idea that air pollution is bad for us. Seven million deaths is a high figure. Air pollution shortens our lifespan, “With an average loss of life of 11.5 years” (Mason, Rowena, and Josh Halliday). Eleven and a half years is a very large portion of a person's life, and many things can be accomplished during those 11.5 years, but many people don't get the chance to live those years due to the effects of air pollution. Air pollution is a silent killer that can be stopped. Air pollution not only affects the health of the world's population, but also affects weather patterns on the Pacific Coast. Storms formed from the Pacific Ocean have strengthened over time and the reason is that air pollution caused by many Asian countries, especially China, changes the way storms are arranged on the Pacific Ocean's climate. document ......Clarification of the burden of air pollution deriving from agriculture”). Animal manure releases ammonia into our air and stays there until we breathe that air. This animal manure pollutes the air along with carbon dioxide. The idea of ​​breathing ammonia from animal manure is disgusting. Although there is another source of air pollution and that is “the burning of harmful fuels: coal, wood and animal waste” (Jacobs). Coal is a fuel source for many purposes, but it emits fumes when burned for use. These fumes pollute the air even more. Coal, motor vehicles, firewood and animal manure are powerful containers in the air. Be careful what you breathe in, you never know what's in the air. You might argue that air pollution is an important problem to solve. One could support this by arguing that the costs of solutions to the problem are too high.
