Air pollution is regarded as one of the most environmemtal issue facing us today.According to statistics,there are approximately 4,2 million death per year because of air pollution,and nearly 99% of the world population live in places where air is polluted. There are a number of causes why air pollution takes place. A primary source of the spreading of toxic pollutants into the air is burning fossil fuels.For example,when fossil fuels like coal or oil are burned,they emit greenhouse gases and chemical substances which lead to the formation of smog and acid rain decreasing the air quality we breather every day.Another major contributing factor is vehicle exhaust fumes.Automobile emission through engine pipes is a vivid example.Containing mononxide and a poisonous gas,they present a large amount of smokes that travel straight into the atmosphere. Air pollutants produce many different types of effects on the human health and environment.It poses a wider scale problems for respiratory systems causing long-term diseases such as lung cancer and asthma.

Hello Sara, this is your mentor Hannah. Sorry for the late comment.
It's shocking that nearly 99% of the world population live in places where air is polluted.
No wonder people get diseases that were scarce at the past times when there were no air pollution.
It would be best if you put the reference or source of image below the article.
Thank you for your great article and please keep up with your wonderful work :)
Sincerly,
Hannah

Hello Sara, this is your mentor Joon.
It is quite sad that most of the power generation is still based on fossil fuels. Unless sufficient reduction measures are taken, those facilities emit tremendous amount of pollutants to open air. This is serious as if there is a city, town, or where people are gathered to live, nearby, it would directly affect their health. Yet, not many people are aware of such fact, and therefore not much actions are taken. We should raise some awareness in order for people or society can take some measure.
Well read your article.
Best,
Joon
