 A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to 
the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals vegetations, or materials adversely. Air 
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air 
pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to 
compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known 
today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has 
increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered 
an air pollutant under certain conditions. 
 Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and 
nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants 
were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle. These 
serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil 
on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting form human activities. 
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. 
 In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the 
natural purification scheme of the cycle. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals 
in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the 
concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual 
concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us 
little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur

naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million 
(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, ahs a natural level of 0.1 
ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

 A. eliminated B. caused C. slowed D. changed

reasons? 
 A. They function as part of a purification process. 
 B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants. 
 C. They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants. 
 D. They have existed since the Earth developed.
