6. 6Primary Pollutants

   1. AThese are main gases for air pollution. Example: CO and SO2 from automobiles and combustion of coal/petroleum
   2. BWhen CO and SO2 reacts with sunlight forms more dangerous smog. This is called as photochemical smog.

12. 12Nutrients Pollution
    

    1. ASome wastewater contains high levels of nutrients. It encourages algae and weed (waste plants) growth in the water, which use the oxygen in the water. Hence fish and other organisms in the water will die due to oxygen shortage in water.
    2. BThis is caused by micro-organisms like viruses, bacteria and protozoa. It makes fishes and other animals to die. Also cause serious illness to humans who drink such waters.
13. 13Surface Water Pollution
    

    1. ASurface water includes rivers, lakes and oceans. Dumping of hazardous substances makes surface water pollution.

14. 14Ground Water Pollution:
    
    

    1. AHumans apply pesticides and fertilizers for plants. These chemicals are washed deep into the ground soil by rain water.
    2. BSurface water includes rivers, lakes and oceans. Dumping of hazardous substances makes surface water pollution.
15. 15Chemical Water Pollution: Many industries produce chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides etc. The waste water discharged from these industries can pollute water bodies. These affect aquatic, human and other animals.
