 Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human being. In a lot of countries, there are laws limiting the amount of smoke 
 which factories can produce. Although there isn’t enough information on the effects of smoke in the atmosphere, doctors

 Children who live in areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children and are 
 clumsy when they use their hands.
