Air Quality Insights and Pollution Factors

Anthony explains the Air Quality Index (AQI) and its significance. He discusses the causes of air pollution, such as industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust, and their effects, including smog and acid rain. The video also covers the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming. Anthony suggests ways to prevent air pollution, like using clean energy and reducing energy consumption.

What does AQI stand for and what does it measure?

• Air Quantity Index, measuring air volume

• Atmospheric Quality Index, measuring temperature

• Air Quality Indicator, measuring water quality

• Air Quality Index, measuring air cleanliness

Which of the following is a major source of air pollution?

• Factories and power plants

• Hydroelectric dams

• Wind turbines

• Solar panels

What is particulate matter?

• A form of water vapor

• A type of greenhouse gas

• Tiny solids or liquids in the air

• Large pieces of debris

How does air pollution contribute to climate change?

• By increasing the amount of oxygen

• By decreasing the amount of sunlight

• By thickening the layer of greenhouse gases

• By reducing the Earth's temperature

What is smog?
