Explain how carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulates, methane, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide harm health or the climate.
State the adverse effects of air pollutants: Some examples include (a) carbon dioxide; higher levels of carbon dioxide leading to increased global warming, which leads to ctimate change. (b) carbon monooxide as toxic gas ( ) particulates: increased risk of respiratory problems and cancer (d) methane: higher levels of methane leading to increased global warming, which leads to climate change. (e) oxides of nitrogen: acid rain, photochemical smog, and respiratory problems (f) sulphur dioxide: acid rain and haze.
