Air pollution is caused by a variety of things. The earth is great at cleaning the air on its own. However, air pollution has grown so much, the earth could no longer clean all of it. This is now the start of adverse effect on the environment such as causing acid rain, smog and a wide variety of health problems.
Cars, trucks, jet airplanes and other combustion engine vehicles cause air pollution. The exhaust from these contains carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and gaseous oxide. This type of air pollution creates smog which causes respiratory health problems and holes in the ozone layer, which increases the exposure to the sun harmful race.
Factories, office buildings, homes and power-generating stations burn fossils fuels, which cause air pollution. This air pollutions destroys plants, damages buildings and create oxidation on iron.
Petroleum refineries release hydrocarbons and various particulates that pollute the air.

This happens when there is not enough ventilization to disburse the toxic fumes from carpet, paint and or cleaning chemicals that are used indoors. Mold can also cause SBS.
Mining causes air pollution by releasing a variety of particles. Mills and plants, includes paper mills, chemical plants, iron mills, steel mills, cement plants and asphalt plants, release emotion into the air causing air pollution.
