Air pollution - Why care? (Bulgaria)

The issue of environmental protection evokes great concern, particularly since it is linked to rapid economic and social development on a global scale. Indeed, human survival may well depend on solutions being found to address the issue. Air pollution is detrimental to human and animal health and can cause breathing difficulties, health problems, disease or even death. Pregnant women are particularly sensitive to the influence of harmful air pollutants and airborne toxins can even harm unborn children − hence the need to monitor and control air quality.
