The document discusses different types of air pollution such as particulate air pollution and airborne lead pollution that are problems in cities and developing countries. Particulate air pollution is caused by dust, smoke and soot from traffic and industry, and causes serious diseases and death for 500,000 people each year. Airborne lead pollution was historically caused by leaded gasoline and is especially harmful to children, potentially causing brain damage and behavioral issues. The document examines how air pollution issues vary between developed and developing nations.

control the emissions in developing because of
countries. particulate air
pollution.
