Air Pollution and Globalization

Air Pollution
According to World Health Organization, Air pollution is contamination
of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological
agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Household
combustion devices, motor vehicles, industrial facilities and forest fires are
common sources of air pollution. Pollutants of major public health concern
include particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide and
sulfur dioxide. Outdoor and indoor air pollution cause respiratory and other
diseases and are important sources of morbidity and mortality. 

Globalization
Peterson Institute for International Economics states that
Globalization is the word used to describe the growing interdependence of the
world’s economies, cultures, and populations, brought about by cross-border
trade in goods and services, technology, and flows of investment, people, and
information. Countries have built economic partnerships to facilitate these
movements over many centuries. As adapting the globalization, Certain
products are transported from one place to another. With this, Ships, plains,
and other forms of transportation are invented in line with such advancements
and developments which consumes more fuel -- and produces a huge amount
of greenhouse gas emissions. The wide-ranging effects of globalization are
complex and politically charged. As with major technological advances,
globalization benefits society as a whole, while harming certain aspects of the
environment.
