Air pollution is the collection of dangerous substances in the atmosphere that endanger human life and other living things.

But what causes the degradation of air shows us environmentalist Xhemial Mato.

“PM2.5, which is a tiny bit of 2.5 microns floating in the air and in every 2-3 seconds we take and put it into the organism. This is a pollution caused mainly by dust, transportation, and do not wipe out roads as well as by the particles that cars themselves emit. This is a major emergency situation like punishing hundreds of people who are sick and dying because of pollution”, he says.

According to the “report State of the global air 20190), air pollution was the fifth factor affecting the mortality of 2017

“Respiratory problems mark the world's number 5 as the cause of mortality and that's not little. The sooner there is more intervention, this is a foundation of the healthiest form in the future, because what we are currently being exposed to translates into a threat to the quality of life and certainly to disease”, says Ibranji. /tch
