Question

Describe any two sources of air pollution in India.

Answer 1

Vehicular emissions and industrial pollutants are two major sources of air pollution in India.

1. Vehicle Emissions: The rapid increase in the number of automobiles, particularly in cities, adds significantly to air pollution. Vehicle exhaust emissions send dangerous pollutants into the environment, including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
2. Industrial Pollution: During the production process, industries such as industrial facilities, power plants, and refineries generate a variety of pollutants. These pollutants include sulfur dioxide (SO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals.
