Solutions

Expert Solution

step:1

the primary air pollutants are

1.carbon monoxide (CO)odorless ,colorless,poisonous gas

2.oxides of nitrogen(N0x,NO)NO-nitric oxide

3.sulfur oxide (SOx)SO2-sulfurdioxide

4.volatile organic compounds (VOCs) highlyreactive organic compounds

5.particulate matter (dust,ash,salt particles) bad for your lungs

STEP :3

When a certain amount of pollutant object is released in the atmosphere from specific pollutant source and specific time is called as emission. It is expressed in metric tons per year.

Whereas, A concentration is the amount of pollutant matter in any atmosphere per volume unit and is expressed in grams per mc.
