As human technology improve, water, land, air, noise, and light pollutions are all inevitable. Five and a half million deaths each year is caused by air pollution. More than a million seabirds and mammals are killed each year by water pollution. Hundreds of dolphins and whales are killed each year by noise. These shocking facts all shows the significance of enforcing laws to ensure all people are taking care of our environment by decreasing the amount of pollution. Air pollution is impacting the environment, and it is imperative that laws are enforced to help build and sustain a better air quality.

Long lasting breathing disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to your brains, nerves, livers, or kidneys are all long-term effects. If you’re exposed to air pollution continuously, it would affect children’s lungs and may complicate medical conditions for the elders
