EFFECTS OF AIR POLLUTION ON AGRICULTURE

In addition to the increase in the temperature of the world due to climate change, air pollution is increasing as a result of human activities. Air pollution is increasing as a result of industrial activities, heating, and motor vehicles. This situation causes disorders in the respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems in humans. In addition, air pollution does a great deal of harm to the ecosystem. In recent years, it has been observed that air pollution caused by industry and traffic also harms agriculture and deteriorates the quality of the products grown. It has been observed that air pollution causes developmental disorders and decreased photosynthesis in many plant species. Studies shown that grains, which are the main food source all over the world, are greatly affected by air pollution and can harm human health by mixing with the food chain.
