Q3:Write a short note on the ozone layer. Answer: The ozone layer serves as a protective layer in the atmosphere. It has the highest concentration of ozone of any layer of the atmosphere. However, when compared to other gases, ozone makes up a small percentage of the air in the ozone ...
Most plants that pollute release small amounts of pollution continually over a long period of time, though the effects can be cumulative (gradually building up). Sometimes industrial plants release huge of amounts of air pollution accidentally in a very short space of time. One notable case ...
Air pollution, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5), may impair cognitive performance1,2,3, but its short-term impact is poorly understood. We investigated the short-term association of PM2.5with the cognitive performances of 954 white males measured as global cognitive function and Mini-Ment...
Urban air pollution refers to the contamination of the air in cities by harmful substances, which poses a threat to human health and the environment. It is a significant issue that is expected to persist in the future, impacting ecosystems and contributing to the greenhouse effect. ...
In conclusion, we found that maternal air pollution exposure had short-term and delayed effects on PTB, thereby increasing the risk of PTB. This study provides evidence from a study of a large population that reducing air pollution level to a certain threshold might greatly benefit birth outcomes...

Air pollution is one of the leading causes of health complications and mortality worldwide, especially affecting lower-income groups, who tend to be more exposed and vulnerable. This study documents the relationship between ambient air pollution exposure and poverty in 211 countries and territories. ...

reductions in air pollution benefit the highest-poverty census tracts the most since they are burdened with higher exposures. We also note that cumulative exposure combined with community-level stressors will impact the health disparities among high poverty rate groups46. By 2050, the decarbonization ...
