ASSIGNMENT 5

1. Main Idea of Air Pollution

Pollutants are substances which are harmfull to the environment.
2. Main Idea of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless and poisonous gas.
3. Main Idea of Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide irritates the eyes and causes breathing difficulties.
4. Main Idea of Nitrogen Oxides
Nitrogen oxide occurs naturally in lightning and forest fires.
5. Main Idea of Methane
Methane, CH4, is a colorless and odorless gas. Small amounts of methane are harmless to
people but help trap heat from the Sun.
Retelling
1. Air Pollution
Pollutants are substances that can damage the environment, they can cause harm to humans,
animals, vegetation, buildings and machines. As a result of human activity, the air around us
contains thousands of pollutants. There are many types of pollutants one of which is smoke,
which can be seen and smelled but most are invisible. Some of the pollutants are important
substances such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and methane.
unfortunately most people just realize that many important pollutants are caused by
newspaper stories or television programs.
2. Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous substance that comes from forest fire smoke, but most of it
comes from incomplete combustion of vehicle engine fuel. Carbon monoxide is a colorless,
odorless, poisonous gas and can be lethal in small quantities. Carbon monoxide can cause
breathing difficulties, headaches and heart damage.
3. Sulphur dioxide
Sulphur dioxide is a dangerous substance because it can irritate the eyes and cause difficulty
breathing, which comes from the coal and petroleum used to generate electricity and provide
energy. Both of these materials contain sulphur as an impurity although they contain more
coal. 70% of the sulphur dioxide content in the world's atmosphere is estimated to be caused
by electricity generation
4. Nitrogen Oxides
Nitrogen oxide is a serious pollutant produced naturally from lightning and forest fires, but is
 mostly produced by car engines, power plants and industry. Nitrogen oxide is a dangerous
substance because it can damage human lungs, besides that nitrogen oxides can also react
with other pollutants to produce ozone and other harmful pollutants.
5. Methane
Methane CH4 is a colorless, odorless methane gas in small quantities that is harmless to
humans, but helps trap heat from the sun. The cause of the increase in the temperature of the
earth's surface is also caused by the increase in methane gas in the atmosphere along with
other gases, usually this change is known as global warming or the greenhouse effect. Global
warming has the potential to cause widespread flooding in the lowlands as the sea expands.
Atmospheric in methane also occurs naturally from bacterial decomposition of plants and
other sources. Meanwhile, the amount of methane in the waters is increasing due to human
activities such as agriculture. Livestock animals such as cows produce methane from their
manure and large amounts from rice fields. Large quantities of methane are also used to fuel
natural gas, and some of it leaks from pipelines.
