To a large extent, the major problem is pollution in the air we breathe. Which can help change the air we breathe. In order to improve air quality, people need to be aware of the specific mode of pollution and its effects. Traffic pollution causes distress and distress among individuals. The reason for this tragedy is partly due to each of us. The high concentration of vehicle exhaust gases is the main source of air pollution in urban areas. Neighborhoods located near high-traffic areas can negatively impact a community's health and outcomes. People who are disproportionately exposed to high levels of exhaust fumes are those with low socioeconomic and educational status and who are members of racial/ethnic groups. If measures were taken to reduce pollution from automobile traffic, the prevalence of chronic cardiovascular diseases, respiratory symptoms and adverse maternal outcomes would decrease and fewer people would experience adverse health problems. There is a growing consensus that environmental pollutants in urban areas are a problem and health disparities among disadvantaged residents must be addressed in efforts to eliminate health inequities. Vehicles are the main source of air pollution. The following pollutants are associated with the emission: carbon monoxide (co), nitrogen dioxide (no2), sulfur dioxide (so2) and particulate matter (PM). Separately, each of these pollutants is considered or believed to have adverse health effects. Increased air pollution is associated with increased heart attacks, worsened respiratory function, and increased rates of premature birth.
