Nitrogen in air is measured in percent not ppm. Air is made upof 78% N2, 21% O2, 1% Ar and the next most common component is CO2 at 300 ppm.

a measure of the pollutants in the air that is used to express how clean or polluted the air is?

You're either looking for AQI or PPM. AQI = Air Quality Index, a combination of: ozone +particles +carbon monoxide +sulfur dioxide +nitrogen dioxide. Each of these 5 components can be measured as its own concentration in the air as PPM, parts per million. Less commonly PPB, parts per billion. Good clean AQI < 50 Bad polluted AQI > 100

Which are the six most common gases found in the atmosphere?

Dry Air: Nitrogen: ~78% Oxygen: ~21% Argon: ~0.9% CO2: <0.1% Depending on humidity: H2O Vapour: ~1% Other gases at ppm levels. Next highest is Neon at 0.001818%


Concentration of what in the atmosphere is about 380ppm?

Concentration of ozone is about 380 ppm. This is the natural range of ozone.


The concentration of carbon dioxide CO2 in air is 380 ppm What is this in a percentage using significant figures?

.000380 is 380 millionths, ppm is to millionths what % is to hundredths. If you now move the decimal two places to the right to conver to a percentage, then 380 ppm is approximately .04%, and thus, CO2 makes up .04% of the air (which is what I assume this question is refering to)
