Air Pollution Air is the uttermost necessary component for living organisms, yet humans take an immense part on polluting this resource. You cannot depart it, but you can help reduce it. Being one of the vast environmental issues all over the globe, air pollution needs to be regulated by the government for the reason of its negative impact on health, animals, economy, and environment. The first problem expressed is how air pollution is negatively affecting your health. According to Health Canada “heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and coronary disease” (Health 1) can be various effects when exposed to air pollutants for such a prolonged period of time. It has already and is continuing to make an impact on the population averaging an estimated “5,900” (Health 1) deaths per year. Although each individual varies within response to this issue, everyone is affected by air pollution one way or another either it being internally irritating your respiratory system or a more serious matter like death. Air pollution is initiating damages to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems altering your well being due to harsh effects of air pollutants. We need to take action and find a solution to prevent further tragedies. In a likewise manner of air pollution affecting humankind, animals are becoming extinct the longer they’re being exposed. With each category of wildlife being presented to negative air “birds are more susceptible to gaseous pollutant injury than mammals due to their higher respiratory rates” (Effects 1). Decreasing in population “surface water acidification is leading to a decline, and loss of, fish” (Effects 2). Occurring in countries worldwide the level in water has “increased fish mortality, decreased fish growth, decreased egg production and embryo survival, and result in physiological impairment of adult fish” (Effect 2). These creatures are not only
