Due to the air pollutants, these countries are effected by something called “heat island effect.” The heat island effect is when temperatures rises and humidity falls as the air rises and carries pollutants upward resulting in smog above the city. Smog is fog mixed with air and pollutants. Ozone is a pollutant that can cause health problems, it is usually found in smog. Because of the effects of ozone on our lungs, smog exposure may lead to several different types of health problems: coughing and throat and chest irritations: high levels of ozone can irritate your respiratory system. Both developed and developing countries both experience differences in their settlements. Developing countries population growth grows faster and bigger than the economy, so there isn’t enough jobs for everyone. This causes people to live in squatter settlements.
