Air Pollution is not just a problem for people it also affects plants and animals. Some plant & animals can tolerate low to high levels of air pollution. But other animals are sensitive to air pollution causing birth defects, diseases, and lower reproductive rates, with plants air pollution can have a impact on plant growth. #AirAnimalsAndPlants #Ecosystems #AQAW2024 @epagov #Vermont #WeLoveVermont
