      I think the pollution will affect the health of every species, the World Health Organization said that air pollution is a main cause of cancer,but as for how to affect, I am sorry I have never done similar research on this.

      I think its effecting bees – I heard somewhere that bee populations in this country are seriously declining. which sounds minor, but could actually be very significant for things like food production since they pollonate all the crops grown in this country.

      I’m sure there are other effects too, but that’s the one that comes to mind.

      I think the main effect will be on those species that need specific conditions to procreate. If pollution will change those conditions species will be significantly affected and may slowly disappear. I am not an expert to give you any more specific example. Try Google or another zone.
