The line chart illustrates changes in the levels of air pollution released by various sources in the

UK, including transport, industry, total air pollutants, and households, over a 15-year period
starting from 1990.

Overall, it is evident that while air pollution from the transport sector exhibited an upward
trend, there was a downward trend in the figures for the other three sources. Notably, the total
air pollutants experienced the most significant change during the research period.

Taking a closer look at the graph, in 1990, household air pollution amounted to about 1 million
tons, compared to approximately 7.5 million tons of total air pollutants, about 6 million tons
from industry, and transport's 1 million tons. Over the next 15 years, the total air pollutants
figure decreased significantly to just under 4 million tons in 2005.

Similarly, the industry's pollution figure also dramatically declined to 2 million tons after peaking
at approximately 6 million tons in 1990. Likewise between 1990 and 2005, the household
pollution figure progressively dropped from about 1 to 0.1 million tons. In contrast, the amount
of polluted air produced by transport saw a gradual increase, reaching its highest point at just
over 1 million tons.

Title: Changing Trends in UK Air Pollution Sources (1990-2005)

The line chart provides a comprehensive overview of air pollution levels originating from various sources
in the United Kingdom, spanning 1990 to 2005. The analyzed sources include transport, industry,
households, and the overall total air pollutants.

Overall, the visual representation highlights a distinctive pattern in air pollution sources. While emissions
from the transport increased steadily, there was a noteworthy decrease in pollutants from industry,
households, and the total air pollutants. The most significant shift occurred in the total air pollutants
category.

Examining the initial data in 1990, household air pollution stood at approximately 1 million tons,
constituting a fraction of the total air pollutants, which measured around 7.5 million tons. Industry
contributed significantly with about 6 million tons, and transport marked 1 million tons. Over the 15-year
period, a remarkable decline unfolded.

The total air pollutants figure saw a substantial reduction, reaching just under 4 million tons by 2005.
Industry pollution plummeted from its 1990 peak of approximately 6 million tons to a mere 2 million
tons. Household pollution experienced a progressive decrease from 1 to 0.1 million tons during the same
period. In stark contrast, the transport sector displayed a gradual increase, reaching slightly over 1
million tons in 2005.

In conclusion, the line chart underscores a positive trend in reducing air pollution in the UK from 1990 to
2005, with effective measures particularly evident in industry and households. However, the rising trend
in transportpollutants emphasizes the need for targeted interventions in this sector to sustain and
enhance the overall progress in curbing air pollution.

This report analyzes changes in air pollution levels across various sources in the UK from 1990 to 2005,
including transport, industry, households, and total air pollutants. The data spans 15 years starting from
1990.
While air pollution from the transport sector exhibited an upward trend, there was a consistent decline in
figures for industry, households, and total air pollutants. Notably, total air pollutants experienced the most
significant change during the research period.
In 1990, industry contributed a substantial about 6 million tons to air pollution, significantly higher than
the 1 million tons from households. However, over the 15 years, industry pollution dramatically declined
to 2 million tons in 2005. Concurrently, household pollution also progressively dropped from around 1 to
0.1 million tons during the same period. This indicates a successful reduction in pollution from both
industrial and domestic sources.
The figures for total air pollutants, which stood at approximately 7.5 million tons in 1990, experienced a
substantial decrease to just under 4 million tons in 2005. This significant overall decline highlights
effective measures in curbing air pollution. However, the transport sector witnessed a gradual increase,
reaching its peak at just over 1 million tons in 2005. This poses a challenge to the overall air quality
improvement efforts and suggests the need for targeted strategies to address the rising impact of transport-
related pollution.
In conclusion, the report emphasizes positive trends in reducing air pollution levels from industry,
households, and total sources in the UK from 1990 to 2005. While total air pollutants showed the most
significant improvement, the escalating pollution from the transport sector underscores the importance of
tailored interventions to sustain and enhance overall air quality improvements.
