Abstract
Air is a complex amalgamation of gases, water vapor, and dust particles. With development in civilized human society and later on boom in industrialization, there is drastic change in the air quality levels. Levels of different gaseous pollutants, heavy metals, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, and other pollutants are constantly rising up in the air majorly due to combustion of solid fuels and fossil fuels. All these pollutants greatly diverge in their chemical composition, reaction time and mechanism of action. Depending on the exposure time and concentration, these pollutants can exert various toxicological impacts on human health such as respiratory, neurological, and cardiovascular disorder and other life-threatening diseases like cancer. Air pollution has also been connected with premature child birth, morbidity, mortality and reduced life expectancy. In this chapter, the sources of air pollution their effects on different organs and systems in human body as well as their mechanism of action will be discussed.
