What to Focus On

  • Pollution is the addition of undesirable substances into the environment.
  • Pollutants are agents that cause pollution.
  • Pollution can be physical, chemical, or biological in nature.

  • Air pollution: Contamination of air by gases and particulates.
  • Water pollution: Degradation of water quality due to harmful substances.
  • Soil pollution: Decline in soil fertility due to pollutants.

  • Primary pollutants are directly emitted (e.g., CO, SO₂).
  • Secondary pollutants form in the atmosphere (e.g., ozone, H₂SO₄).
  • Particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) causes respiratory issues.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All air pollutants are gases. Particulate matter like dust and smoke is not a serious pollutant.

Water pollution only means water looks dirty or smells bad. Clear water is always safe to drink.

Greenhouse effect and global warming are the same thing.
