Can you explain the causes and sources of air pollution

based on the video?

(calling students to answer)

Unlocking Difficulties

We are going to show you some unfamiliar words that we

are going to encounter during our discussion.

1. Degraded- to spoil or destroy the beauty or quality of

something.

3. Stationary Sources- any building, structure, facility or
installation which emits or may emit any air pollution.

4. Airborne diseases- bacteria or viruses that are most

commonly transmitted through small respiratory droplets.
5. Associated- If one thing is associated with another, the
two things are connected with each other.

aerosols; airborne pesticide residues; chloroform;
perchloroethylene (associated particularly with
drycleaning); paradichlorbenzene (from mothballs and air
fresheners); and many disease-causing microorganisms.
Smoking is the most familiar air pollutant source.

Today the Clean Air Act 1999 sets the standards for air
quality as a response of the government to and the
pollution problem. It has covered several areas, including
the use of only unleaded gasoline and waste management. (the student are listening to the
discussion)

pollutants in the concept map.
