How would you respond if another student states you should not worry about air pollution because through natural selection the human species will develop lungs that can detoxify pollutants?

Point out that since humans are so advanced we no longer die due to evolutionary shortcomings and that there is a possibility that we will not be able to adapt quickly enough to develop lungs that can detoxify pollutants.

What is transboundary pollution?
What Is Transboundary Pollution?Transboundary pollution is the pollution that originates in one country but is able to cause damage in another country's environment, by crossing borders through pathways like water or air. Pollution can be transported across hundreds and even thousands of kilometers. The incredible distances that pollution can spread means that it is not contained within the boundaries of any single nation. This is why it is called 'Transboundary Pollution'. One of the problems with transboundary pollution is that can carry pollution away from a heavy emitter and deposit it onto a nation whose emissions are relatively low. Another problem with transboundary pollution relates to the quote above. Due to the fact that 'All things connect', the heavy pollution that is evident in the developed world also becomes evident in remote areas. For an example of how transboundary pollution becomes visible in a remote area like the Arctic, see the Arctic Haze fact sheet.The droppings (guano) of Arctic Seabirds are another way that human made pollutants from the south arrive and concentrate in the Arctic. The levels of pollutants like mercury and DDT have been found to be as much as 60 times greater than those found at sites not influenced by seabirds. Since the guano is also an important source of fertilizer for the Arctic, many other forms of Arctic life centre around these areas in which contaminants become concentrated. This leads to the pollutants making their way into all levels of the Arctic food web. The seabirds acquire pollutants through contact with polluted ocean waters and food sources. These waters and food sources became themselves polluted through some of the mechanisms of transport mentioned above. In other words, the birds act as a taxi service for ocean borne pollutants to travel inland.
What is interstate pollution?
air pollution that travels from one state to another.
How does industries pollute air?
Natural causes can be contributed to air pollution such as forest fires. Another contributor is deforestation caused by industries that remove too many trees that gives natural air. The last main cause is the pollutants from cars.
Difference between point and non point source pollution?
the difference is that a point source pollution comes from a specific site & the non-point source pollution comes from many sources rather than a single specific site. or point source pollution is pollution that comes from a known and specific location. Nonpoint source pollution is pollution that does not have a specific point of orign....................:-)Hisme John
What are pollutants in the air caused by human activity?
One of them is CO2. Another is methane
What are two natural pollutants?
One natural source of air pollution is from volcanic eruptions. There are large amounts of gases and ash that erupt from the volcano and onto the environment. Another natural source of air pollution are fog and mist.

Does air pollution cause asthma?
Pollution can affect people with asthma quite badly because it can create breathing problems, so if you already have a breathing related problem, it can easily make it worse for you.....Another good reason why we should reduce our carbon footprint and stope pollutiong the Earth!
How does air pollution from one country affect another country?
it spreads from one place to another and continue it.
How does land pollution from one country affect another country?
