four major air pollutants:

1. ozone

2. nitrogen dioxide (NO2)

3. sulphur dioxide (SO2)

4. Carbon monoxide (CO)

Some bad effects of air pollution on human

being:

3.Air Pollution Raises Blood Pressure:

The problems of air pollution is further complicated by existence

of inversion layers.

1.Topographical character2.Proximity to water

specific vitamins may help protect your health from the
