The main causes are rapid development, tree cutting, and relying too much on fossil fuels.

Air pollution is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air.

Air pollution is caused by the release of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. These pollutants can originate from both natural and human-made sources. Here are some of the primary causes of air pollution:
1. Combustion of Fossil Fuels
2. Transportation
3. Industrial Activities
4. Agricultural Practices
5. Waste Management
6. Deforestation and Biomass Burning
7. Construction Activities
8. Natural Sources
9. Household Activities

Air pollution can be caused by a variety of natural and human activities. Some of the primary causes include:

Combustion of Fossil Fuels: Burning coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production in power plants, industrial facilities, vehicles, and heating systems releases pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM).

Vehicle Emissions: Cars, trucks, buses, and other vehicles emit pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter through their exhaust systems.

Industrial Activities: Factories and manufacturing facilities emit pollutants during production processes, including particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals.

Agricultural Practices: Agricultural activities such as livestock farming and crop cultivation can produce pollutants such as methane (a greenhouse gas), ammonia, and dust particles.

Deforestation and Burning of Biomass: Clearing forests for agriculture, urbanization, or other purposes, as well as burning biomass for cooking or heating, releases particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants into the air.
