What to Focus On

  • Environmental pollution means harmful change in surroundings.
  • Pollutants may be natural or man-made.
  • Volcanoes, forests, dust storms, and decaying vegetation are natural sources.
  • Air pollution is caused by harmful gases and particles.
  • Carbon monoxide is highly poisonous and reduces oxygen transport.
  • Sulphur dioxide damages crops and lungs.
  • Smog contains oxides of nitrogen, sulphur, and partially oxidized hydrocarbons.
  • Smog is dark, thick, and laden with dust and soot.
  • Smog reduces visibility and harms breathing.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Acid rain is caused only by sulphuric acid.

Normal rain is neutral, so any rain with pH below 7 is acid rain.

Oxides of nitrogen are formed only in factories, not in vehicles or lightning.
