What is air pollution give five examples of air pollution and their causes?

Answer 1

Air pollution is one of the 4 kinds of pollution. It is caused from many different sources of pollution.

• vehicles - Give off fumes containing harmful toxins from the exhaust pipe. The growing amount of cars is very high; hence, more air pollution. To reduce the amount of air pollution we should start using LPG in our cars, since it is less harmful than gasoline.

• factories - Factories give high amount of dangerous fumes, depending on the work being done inside. If the pipes that give out fumes are built higher it would not come in contact with human life as much. This would cause less diseases.
• smoke - Burning fossil and other fuels gives off smoke, which pollutes the air.

Answer 2

Air pollution refers to the presence of harmful substances in the air that can have negative effects on human health and the environment. Five examples of air pollution and their causes are:

1. Particulate matter (PM): Caused by vehicle emissions and industrial activities.
2. Ground-level ozone (O3): Forms from the reaction of pollutants emitted by vehicles and industrial sources in the presence of sunlight.
3. Sulfur dioxide (SO2): Released from burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and volcanic eruptions.
4. Nitrogen oxides (NOx): Produced by vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and burning of fossil fuels.
5. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Released from vehicle emissions, industrial processes, and use of solvents and paints.
