air pollution and urbanization
Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in the air, often caused by human activities such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and burning of fossil fuels. Urbanization, on the other hand, refers to the process of increasing population and development in urban areas, resulting in the growth of cities and towns. The rise of urbanization often leads to increased air pollution due to the concentration of people, vehicles, and industries in densely populated areas.
