Answer:
Pollutants are the elements, molecules and particles involved in pollution - life can be harmed when exposed to these materials, and the effects of them on humans and plants are well known. Pollutants can be introduced into the environment in many ways, both naturally and by humans.
Different types of pollutants include:
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Sulfur oxides (SOx)
Particulate matter (PM)
Ground level ozone (O3)
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Mercury (Hg)
Peroxyacyl nitrates (PANs),
etc.
Effects on Humans and Environment: C02 has a major role in green-house effect, produces weak carbonic acid adding to acid rains; CO affects human health by binding to hemoglobin, which may result in asphyxia; hemoglobin has 250 times more affinity with CO as compared to that of O2.
