Analyze

The worst air quality areas are mostly concentrated in Africa and Southwest Asia. They have one thing in common, which is that there are severe wind and dust, which causes a surge in particulate matter around them.


At the same time, the impact of population on the environment cannot be ignored. The larger the population base, the more likely the environment will deteriorate, such as in India and China.
