Answer 2

Air pollutants are classified as either directly released or formed by subsequent chemical reactions. A direct release air pollutant is one that is emitted directly from a given source, such as the carbon monoxide or sulfur dioxide, all of which are byproducts of combustion; whereas, a subsequent air pollutant is formed in the atmosphere through chemical reactions involving direct release pollutants. The formation of ozone in photochemical smog is the most important example of a subsequent air pollutant.

Anthropogenic sources (human activity) related to burning different kinds of fuel.
* Combustion-fired power plants.
* Controlled burn practices used in agriculture and forestry management
* Motor vehicles generating air pollution emissions.
* Marine vessels, such as container ships or cruise ships, and related port air emissions
* Burning fossil fuels
* Burning wood, fireplaces, stoves, furnaces and incinerators

Other anthropogenic sources
* Oil refining, power plant operation and industrial activity in general.
* Chemicals, dust and crop waste burning in farming, (see Dust Bowl).
* Fumes from paint, varnish, aerosol sprays and other solvents.
* Waste deposition in landfills, which generate methane
* Military uses, as nuclear weapons, toxic gases, germ warfare and rocketry.

Natural Sources
* Dust from natural sources, usually large areas of land with little or no vegetation.
* Methane, emitted by the digestion of food by animals, for example cattle.
* Pine trees, which emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
* Radon gas from radioactive decay within the Earth's crust.
* Smoke and carbon monoxide from wildfires.
* Volcanic activity, which produce sulfur, chlorine, and ash particulates.

Answer 3

Air pollution is the addition of unwanted and harmful elenents to the environment. These elements are added to the atmosphere by the release of harmful gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorofloro carbon and other gases. The waste gases from vehicles, burning of fossil fuels, burning of forests, gases released fronm chimneys of factories all add to air pollution. The gases like C02 add to rise of the temperature of earth and add to the phenomenon called global warming, carbon monoxide leads to depletion of ozone layer which is very harmful for human and animal life as it prevents the ultra violet rays coming from sun from reaching the earth. Many gases when released in the atmosphere combine with the other gases already present tmosphere and cause acid rain which is again very harmful for plant and animal life.
