Answer 1

short note on air pollution :-

Air pollution is a type of environmental pollution.

Many of the world's large cities today have polluted air or low air and complain about it daily quality.[1]

Even 2,000 years ago, the Romans were complaining about the polluted air in their cities. At that time, the air was thick with smoke from fires and the smell of sewers.[1] Air pollution has been classified as a danger to human health and Earth's many ecosystems for a long time.

how air gets polluted :-

Air pollution is caused by solid and liquid particles and certain gases that are suspended in the air. These particles and gases can come from car and truck exhaust, factories, dust, pollen, mold spores, volcanoes and wildfires. The solid and liquid particles suspended in our air are called aerosols.

2. Look for the ENERGY STAR label when buying home or office equipment.
3. Carpool, use public transportation, bike, or walk whenever possible.
4. Follow gasoline refueling instructions for efficient vapor recovery, being careful not to spill fuel and always tightening your gas cap securely.
5. Consider purchasing portable gasoline containers labeled “spill-proof,” where available.
