| Air pollution is indication of disturbances to the composition of compounds in the atmosphere, as it may be summarized as shown: - excess emission of gases/vapors into atmosphere
- saturation of chemical compounds/particulates
- rate of dissipation < (smaller than) rate of absorption through various cycles (i.e. carbon and nitrogen cycle)
- emergence of new chemical reactions of reactive and non-biodegradable compounds.

The important things, different types of air pollution have very different effects on plants and animals. The different types of air pollution come from different sources so the solution of cleaning up air pollution is not the simple one. Understanding the problem takes time, but every thing we do to improve air quality brings us closer to having the fresh air we all thrive on.
