Why is Air Quality Important?

Air quality in cities refers to the level of pollutants and other harmful particles present in the air, often resulting from human activities such as transportation and industrial processes. Poor air quality can cause a range of negative health impacts, such as respiratory illnesses and heart disease, and can also damage buildings, crops, and natural ecosystems. In addition, air pollution disproportionately affects vulnerable populations such as low-income communities and people of color.
