environment.
Now answer the following questions :
(1) What is smoke? How does it affect our health?
(ii) What do you suggest to reduce the hazards of smoke?
(iii) How does carbon dioxide affect our environment?
(iv) Should the use of coal as a fuel in industries be banned? Suggest two environment friendly
