What to Focus On

  • Environment means all living and non-living natural things in a region.
  • Biotic elements are living components.
  • Abiotic elements are non-living components.
  • The three main environmental problems are pollution, degradation, and depletion of resources.
  • Pollution is an undesirable change in environmental quality.
  • A pollutant is the substance that causes pollution.
  • Air pollution affects breathing and heart health.
  • Carbon dioxide is an air pollutant and also a major greenhouse gas.
  • Human-made and natural sources both contribute to air pollution.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pollution, degradation, and depletion all mean the same thing.
