If there is too much air pollution, it can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or irritation. Furthermore, damage to the body, including cancer, can result from prolonged exposure to pollutants. ("Health and environmental effects of air pollution"). Air pollution can have harmful effects on the environment, such as destruction of the ozone layer. The stratosphere, which includes the ozone layer, protects the Earth from harmful UV rays. This layer is destroyed by chemicals in coolants, pesticides and aerosol propellants. As a result, UV rays can reach Earth more easily. This could potentially lead to increased health problems and damage to sensitive crops (“Health and Environmental Effects of Air Pollution”). Acid rain, created by air pollution, can also affect crops by making soil acidic and water inhabitable for wildlife. Another problem that arises with air pollution is global warming. The atmosphere contains greenhouse gases that are responsible for maintaining constant temperatures and heat from the sun on Earth (“Effects of Air Pollution on Health and the Environment”). By burning fossil fuels, humans have released greenhouse gases. The transport of greenhouse gases leads to global warming. Adverse outcomes due to global warming include: wildlife, agriculture and even health problems (“Climate Change Impacts”). Destruction of the ozone layer, acid rain and global warming are just some of the negative impacts caused by air
