Yes, there are many environmental concerns in Central America! Central America is affected by three major environmental issues: soil degradation, air pollution, and water pollution. Countries like Brazil, Chile, Colombia,

and Brazil are suffering from the effects of air pollution. Urban development and population growth contribute to soil degradation, air pollution, and water contamination. The increasing numbers of vehicles are contributing to contaminants such as CO, PST, PM10, HC, NO2, and SO2 poising the air. Exposure to these contaminants is causing cardiovascular and respiratory illness. The growing number of refineries and the metal manufacturing industry is adding to air pollution. The water supply is being affected by the size of the cities. One form of soil degradation in Central America is salinization. Other problems include erosion and chemical soil pollution.
