Air Pollution and Health

Industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and construction activities are all major sources of air pollution in urban areas.

Ozone is the primary pollutant responsible for smog.

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with asthma, chronic bronchitis, and heart disease, but not cancer.

Deposition, dispersion, and dilution are all processes by which air pollutants are removed from the atmosphere.

Carbon dioxide is not a common air pollutant emitted from power plants.

Degradation, transformation, and neutralization are all processes by which air pollutants are converted into less harmful substances.

Nitrogen dioxide is not a greenhouse gas.

Advection, diffusion, and convection are all processes by which air pollutants are transported from one location to another.

Ozone is not a common air pollutant emitted from vehicles.

Phytoremediation, bioremediation, and phytodegradation are all processes by which air pollutants are removed from the atmosphere by plants.

Sulfur dioxide is not a common air pollutant emitted from agricultural activities.

Wet deposition is the process by which air pollutants are removed from the atmosphere by water.

Ozone is not a common air pollutant emitted from residential activities.

Soil deposition, dry deposition, and sedimentation are all processes by which air pollutants are removed from the atmosphere by soil.

Ozone is not a common air pollutant emitted from industrial activities.
