 • These can alter the physical characteristics of
the environmental components
PHYSICAL • Temperature, Radiation, Sound Waves

• These can alter the chemical characteristics of

the environmental components
CHEMICAL • Pesticides, Weedicides, Toxic Gases

• These can alter the chemical characteristics of the

environmental components
BIOLOGICAL • Pathogenic Microorganisms
Radioactive wastes
 •Put directly into air by human
activities.
PRIMARY • e.g. Sulfur dioxide released from burning fossil
POLLUTANT fuel

• Primary pollutants react with other

primary pollutants or water vapour to
make a new substance.
SECONDARY • e.g. Sulfur dioxide mixes with water in the
POLLUTANT atmosphere and causes acid rain. PAN
