Air Pollution in today’s world makes it difficult for us to breathe pure, clean air. Strangely, we are now on a quest to look for a planet similar to earth despite the fact that ours is said to be the only planet where living things can live. Because of the numerous human activities carried out in the name of development since the industrial revolution of the 19th century, the earth has lost its freshness and purity of air.

And today, as global citizens, breathing clean air has nearly become our most important right, and the struggle continues.
