Air Quality

Clean air is essential for life, supporting all living organisms, including humans, animals, and plants. Maintaining good air quality means having a balanced concentration of gases in the atmosphere, allowing ecosystems to thrive and people to lead healthy lives. However, air quality can be compromised by natural events and human activities that release pollutants.
