It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had “black snow” from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem.Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory(呼吸的) diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility(能见度). There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we dont know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects（缺陷）. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals we are apt(易于的) to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes(腐蚀) our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.36.
