Abstract

The interplay between air pollution and sustainability is a multifaceted relationship that highlights the critical link between environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Air pollution, primarily caused by unsustainable practices like fossil fuel combustion and rapid urbanization, degrades air quality and poses significant health risks. This chapter explores the complexities of air pollution’s impact on ecosystems, resource depletion, and social inequalities. It also examines the policy frameworks, technological innovations, and global collaborations needed to mitigate air pollution while fostering sustainability. Solutions such as renewable energy, sustainable urban planning, and social equity initiatives are key to reducing pollution and ensuring a sustainable future.
