Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. These particles and gases can come from car and truck exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes and wildfires. The solid and liquid particles suspended in our air are called aerosols.

Air pollution is now considered to be the world's largest environmental health threat, the leading environmental health risk humans now face.

It is the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death.

The combined effects of outdoor and household air pollution cause around 7 million premature deaths every year, largely as a result of increased mortality from stroke, heart disease, lung disease, and cancers.

The air pollution has many bad effects on the health of people. It is the cause of many skin and respiratory disorders in human beings.

Exposure to high levels of air pollution increases the risk of respiratory infections, heart disease and lung cancer

Moreover, polluted air can have permanent health effects such as: Accelerated aging of the lungs. Loss of lung capacity and decreased lung function. Development of diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, and possibly cancer.

Sweden's air quality is among the best in the world.

The study was based on measurements of PM 2.5 particles in 73 countries in 2018, and ranked countries from the highest air particle measurement to the least.

Sweden was ranked 69th, meaning only four countries had a higher quality of air and that the concentration of PM 2.5 particles in Sweden was within guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO).

The best performing countries were Iceland and Finland, which were ranked 73rd and 72nd.

In 2016, the Swedish Energy Agency implemented an electrical bus premium for all public electric buses to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other air pollutants.
Investments for 259 buses have already been approved contributing to an estimated emission reduction equivalent of 181 thousand tons of carbon dioxide.

The tax on emissions of nitrogen oxides, the so-called nitrous oxide (NOx)tax, has contributed to the reduction of emissions from electricity and heat production and industrial combustion.

On average, the air quality in Sweden is good. However, during the cold winter periods, higher pollution levels do occur. Air pollution in Sweden is mainly driven by traffic, energy production and industry, especially in urban areas.
