AIR POLLUTION

Effect of air pollution

• Carbon monoxide CO release in the atmosphere release haemoglobin to the body cell and reduces the ability of blood to blood cells and tissues
• High amount of CO₂ HIGH AMOUNT OF C0₂ to the atmosphere lead to global warming leading to global warming leading to melting of ice burges in to the pole. When ice berg melts, sea level rises leading to floating
• Smokers: when breath in smoke may blacken, the aveoli causing damage to their epithelial lining. Soot may coal plant leaves thereby reducing the amount of photosynthesis
