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.]]> 2022-02-20 10:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057166670 What is the impact of air pollution on human health? ArshMohammed https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057183533 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.

It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016. Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.]]> 2022-02-20 11:54:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057233548 A poster to raise awareness of air pollution ArshMohammed https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057262092 2022-02-20 12:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057262092 What is air pollution ArshMohammed https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057263496 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.]]> 2022-02-20 12:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057263496 Sweden ArshMohammed https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057264642 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.

ArshMohammed https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057267965 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.

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.]]> 2022-02-20 12:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ArshMohammed/ofzjfgethggeg0fx/wish/2057269405
