Due to polluted air and water, we absorb huge amounts of chemicals that only deteriorate our good health. Lack of access to clean air can cause many different health problems such as asthma and various kinds of cancer can have damaging effects on the brain as well as the nervous system. Which is why we need to do what we can to reduce its spread.
