Question
Rob Gibson,
I have some questions
How do factories affect air pollution?
Exactly what gases affect air pollution?
Please try to answer my questions as soon as possible.
Dear Annie
Your questions
How do factories affect air pollution?
They produce emissions that may add to the carbon dioxide levels and therefore contribute to global warming. They may also emit gasses that are harmful to human health and / or ecosystems
Exactly what gases affect air pollution?
It depends what the factories produce. For example a rubber works would emit benzene; a car factory could emit a number of things depending on how it is powered including nitrogen oxides and possibly sulphur dioxide.
Without knowing what sort of factory you have in mind it is not possible for me to be more specific.
Kind regards
Rob Gibson
