Question
Chapter 13, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Whether wood smoke is a natural or human-made source of pollution.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Wood smoke is a natural source of pollution.
Explanation of Solution
Air is not perfectly clean at all times. Various natural sources of air pollution exist always. The examples for natural air pollution include ash and gases from volcanic eruptions, salt particles from breaking waves, pollen and spores from plants, smoke released due to forest fires, and wind blow dust. The intensity and frequency of these natural pollutants are increased due to human activities. In addition, air pollution can also be caused due to human activities. It includes the combustion of fossil fuels, chemical processes, and nuclear or atomic processes.
