All types of pollution impair normal physiological and biological processes.
Explanation:
Different pollutants may react differently, and on different parts of a body. Some may be poisonous in one way or another. Particulate matter can cause both direct and secondary adverse effects on breathing. Acid gases (#SO_2, NO, NO_2) can destroy cell structures in the respiratory tracts. Carbon monoxide irreversibly binds with hemoglobin, decreasing the available oxygen-transport in the circulatory system.
