Best Answer

Air pollutants (depending on the pollutant in question) absorb or reflect solar radiation or thermal radiation from the Earth. They also form "seeds" on which water droplets or ice crystals can form causing changes in cloud cover or precipitation. Pollutants can be poisonous to plant and animal life.
