Question

Differentiate between air pollution and water pollution.

Answer 1

Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Caremissions, chemicals from factories, dust, pollen and mold spores may be suspended as particles. Ozone, a gas, is a major part of air pollutionin cities. When ozone forms air pollution, it's also called smog.

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
