a) Mind map:
- Air pollution: contamination, smog, emissions, asthma, health, fossil fuels, combustion, industrial activity, environmental impact, particulate matter
b) Summary:
Air pollution is the contamination of the air by harmful or poisonous substances, often caused by industrial activity and the burning of fossil fuels. This can lead to smog and the release of particulate matter, which can have a negative impact on human health, particularly causing respiratory issues such as asthma. Both urban and rural communities can be affected by air pollution, highlighting the widespread nature of the problem. Energy production is closely linked to air pollution, as the combustion of fossil fuels releases harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
c) Main ideas:
- Human health: impacted by air pollution, particularly causing respiratory issues
- Air pollutant from human activity: emissions from industrial activity and the burning of fossil fuels
- Urban and rural communities: both can be affected by air pollution
- Energy and air pollution, how are they linked: energy production is closely linked to air pollution through the combustion of fossil fuels
ACTIVITY 4
a) Most aggressive: industrial smokestack
