air pollution and global warming

Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances or pollutants in the air, emitted from various sources such as industry, vehicles, or burning of fossil fuels. These pollutants, including particulate matter and toxic gases, can have detrimental effects on human health and the environment. Global warming, on the other hand, signifies the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature primarily due to greenhouse gas emissions. Human activities, especially burning fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to the release of these gases, trapping heat in the atmosphere and causing a rise in global temperatures. This phenomenon has widespread impacts on climate patterns, ecosystems, and the planet as a whole.
