Based on the two articles above, air pollution is damaging to human health so far as to being a leading contributor to premature mortality worldwide. Orach et al. studied concentrated ambient particles, engineered carbon nanoparticles, diesel exhaust, and woodsmoke and observed concentration-dependent effects on oxidative stress markers, inflammation, and cardiovascular function that overlapped across different pollutants. These pollutants were highly correlated to adverse health effects such as death, hospitalization, metabolic syndrome, stroke, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, and vascular diseases. Cropper et al. also found that air pollution increases in the incidence of chronic heart and lung diseases. Sources of these pollutants include fossil fuel burning in mobile and stationary types, diesel exhaust, and burning of wood for agriculture or home heating and cooking depending on the city. Thus, the air pollution corrosively affects people's health and wellbeing, so if air pollution is addressed through climate mitigation changes or transportation shifts, then human health will improve and increase wellbeing as well. 
	Studying effects of air pollution is important in order to push for more environmental controls and to evaluate benefits of specific pollution control policies.
