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.

Are all pollutants man made?

No, pollutants can be natural. Volcanoes often emit sulfur dioxide for instance.


Why can we not just leave it to natural process to decompose pollutants dumped into the oceans?

There are too much pollutants being dumped for natural processes to cope with. We must reduce the amount and toxicity of pollutants we dump in order to help nature cope.


Pollutants that are not broken down by natural processes are?

nondegradable


How do primary pollutants form?

There are two main types of primary pollutants: man-made pollutants and natural pollutants. Man-made primary pollutants are formed largely from combustion reactions used to create electricity and run the over one billion cars that are in the world today. These pollutants include Sulfur oxides (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfur trioxide), Carbon oxides (Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide), and Nitrogen oxides (Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide). Another type of man-made primary pollutant includes VoCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are largely responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Natural primary pollutants are formed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, and volcano eruptions, and include dust, ash, and salt particles.


All contaminants of the air can be divided into two groups. what are they?

Air contaminants can be divided into two main groups: primary pollutants and secondary pollutants. Primary pollutants are directly emitted into the atmosphere from sources such as vehicles, industrial processes, or natural events, and include substances like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter. Secondary pollutants, on the other hand, are formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere, such as ozone and smog, which result from the interaction of primary pollutants with sunlight and other atmospheric components.


Do natural gas produce more air pollutants than oil?

No.


What is natural pollution?

Natural pollution refers to pollutants or contaminants that are released into the environment as a result of natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and erosion. These pollutants can include gases, particulate matter, and chemicals that can have detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health.


In what two ways can all sources of pollutants be classified?

Pollutants can be classified into point source pollution and nonpoint source pollution. Point solution originates from a single source. Nonpoint polluattion has no single source from where it can be traced.


What are some natural pollutants?

cyclones, volcanic eruptions, forest fires ,overgrazing
