INTRODUCTION
Civil engineering is based on the professional that mainly deals with the construction and
other type of physical built environment. The report will describe about the poor air quality
which directly affects on the human being and increase rate of air pollution across global world.
The climate change is directly related to the poor air quality which increases temperature of
atmosphere while increasing critical situation or condition. Furthermore, it will analyze the
internal combustion power vehicle which continuously generating the emission of gases.
However, it will be understanding that different civil engineer uses the sustainable materials for
building construction to clean, pure air quality in the surroundings.
MAIN BODY
Discuss about the effects of poor air quality and link with the climate change while
increased use of internal combustion power vehicles.
Air pollution is defined as degradation of air quality which are negatively affects on the
human health and environmental degradation by naturally or artificially. Nowadays, it has found
that air could be contaminated in very quickly. Therefore, rate of pollution will be increased in
air particles. Due to increase globalization in terms of industrial production that directly affects
on the air quality in many countries (Chiashi and et.al., 2019). In past decade, it has become
rapidly growing and directly affecting on the health condition of humans. Currently, air pollution
is considered as the most serious environmental issue. It consistently shown their serious effect
on the human health.
effects of poor air quality
A poor air quality is one of most common problem that effects on the sensitive
populations include older adults, children who are active outdoors. As per analysis, it has
identified that 6-million peoples face problem due to air pollution in global world. It has
increased the level of particular matters and nitrogen oxide. It is one of the most pollutants that
directly associated with large number of cardiovascular diseases. Even it also seen in the
children, they are suffering from neurodegenerative diseases (Poole and et.al., 2019). As per
analysis, it has been identified that indicate poor air quality increasingly and underlying related
to health impact rapidly.
A poor air quality can affect on the environmental condition and also damaging both
underground water and soil. It is becoming serious threat in the diversity of life. The Air

pollution is directly affecting on the species diversity because containment air will create
problem and issues. (Serrano, Novella and Piqueras, 2019).
Nowadays, it has been rapidly increased the use of internal combustion vehicle that plays
major role in our lives. These types of vehicle comprise only 5% on road while they are
generating more than 25% global warming emission that mainly come from transportation. In
this way, it has significant increase rate of air pollution. The fossil fuel combustion in the
transportation that contribution of air pollution. The combustion vehicle emissions are dispersed
into the ambient air in the atmospheric. therefore, it influencing to extent and react with
atmosphere gases and increase rate of air pollution. The use of vehicle is common in global
world but it requires to take into account in the analysis of transportation emission (Holmberg
and Erdemir, 2019). It has shown that vehicle emitted large amount of CO2 in global
environment. Therefore, it directly affects on the climate change whereas ozone is the most
common high-altitude shield of earth. It can protect the atmosphere against the other type of
ultraviolent radiation that emitted by sun. Carbon dioxide CO2 and other greenhouse gases
directly react with the atmosphere while performing the ozone pollution events. In this way, it
automatically changing the entire temperature of earth and develop risk related to air pollutants.
impacts of climate change and the increased use of internal combustion powered vehicles.
Climate change and air pollution are interrelated to each other because air pollution. It
also including greenhouse gases which contains carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. It is
the biggest problem that overlapping, when they are interacting with each other in the
atmosphere. For instances, air pollution can be generated in the form of particular matter that
easily circulated around the surroundings (Serrano, Novella and Piqueras, 2019). In this way, it
slightly increases temperature of atmosphere and encourage the plants in the different regions. It
directly effects on the darkening of earth surface while increasing global warming situation.
Another way, the immediate changes have seen in the level of air pollution which directly effects
on the living things.
After addressing the air pollution, it can be implementing an effective solution to the
climate change and use economic policies to reduce air pollution (Li and et.al.,2019). The
decarbonization of economy will generate to reduce emission of CO2 and air pollutant while
pursuing that use of fossil fuel is not properly for either in terms of air pollution or climate
change. On the other hand, other technologies are promoting as a climate change through
