Air pollution occurs when harmful gases, particles, and biological molecules are introduced into the atmosphere from both human activities and natural processes. It can cause diseases, allergies, and death in humans as well as harm animals and crops. Both indoor air pollution and poor urban air quality are considered two of the worst toxic pollution problems, and outdoor air pollution alone causes over 2 million premature deaths annually according to reports from 2008 and 2014.
