Air pollution and weather are linked in two ways. One way concerns the influence that weather conditions have on the . dilution. and . dispersal. of air pollutants. . Air pollution is the contamination of air due to the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are harmful to the . health.  of . humans.  and other . living beings. .. Air pollution can cause diseases, allergies, and even death to humans; it can also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and  Air pollution can be caused by both human activities and natural phenomena..
