πŸ“š Quick Study Guide

  • 🏭 Pollution Sources: Air pollutants come from factories, cars, and even volcanoes!
  • πŸ’¨ Types of Pollutants: Common ones include particulate matter, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides.
  • 🌱 Harmful Effects: These pollutants can cause breathing problems, harm plants, and contribute to climate change.
  • πŸš— Reducing Pollution: We can reduce air pollution by using public transport, planting trees, and using cleaner energy sources.
  • 🌑️ Air Quality Index (AQI): The AQI tells us how clean or polluted the air is. A lower AQI is better!
