What to Focus On

  • Air pollution is an imbalance in air quality and composition.
  • Common gaseous pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, CFCs and nitrogen oxides.
  • Particulate matter includes soot, fly ash, dust, mist and fumes.
  • Biomass fuels produce smoke and less heat.
  • NPIC was launched in 1983 to reduce fuel wood use and kitchen smoke.
  • NBCI was launched in 2009 for next-generation clean cookstoves.
  • Kerosene is a middle distillate of petroleum refining.
  • It boils between 145 and 300°C.
  • Wick stoves and pressure stoves are the two main types.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Biogas and gobar gas are the same thing.

Primary pollution and secondary pollution mean the same thing.
